Walgreens reviews

Nice 15 % discount and was great opportunity to move up in the company. I started out as an assistant beauty advisor and after a few years was the senior advisor. There was a small raise and perks such as a regular schedule and dibs on free product etc. But what I didn't expect was that becoming the Sr advisor I was overworked and underappreciated. They want you to sell as if you are at a fancy cosmetics counter but also do the leg work of unloading a truck and cleaning the department, so if you get caught up in one the other suffers but both are your responsibility and the rest of your team skates by, getting praise for doing a ton of work on resets or doing a ton of sales. Reorganization of leadership and management is almost always taking place, I was there four years and saw about 4 different titles and responsibilities for the 3 main people above me. However, the stores that work as a team are really a joy to work at if you don't mind long hours and you have a lot of patience. A lot of people started on front register and were assistant managers by the time I left, which is a healthy pay raise, albeit a lot of work. All in all like anywhere it just depends on people. Walgreens as a whole is a pretty nice company to deal with

money experience for better, future jobs
