Walgreens reviews

Walgreens corporate does not care about it's employees or their families. They preach about being a family oriented company to the public, but on the inside they only care about having to answer to the shareholders. Walgreens is the perfect example of what corporate America is. It's pretty sad when the last family member of the Walgreens founder decides to leave his own company due to the direction the company is going. Walgreens is using the bad economy we're in and taking advantage of it to make changes that effects it's store management salaries and futures and their families, yet every month there's sales increases as a company.

The company has slashed many positions at the corporate level, and has eliminated many district positions. Therefore, the opportunities to grow above the Store Manager level are practically non-existent. The districts are getting larger and larger, and although there are opportunities to mentor other Store Managers as a "Community Leader" of 4-6 stores, the opportunity to attain a DM position are difficult, if not impossible. The company recently began requiring Store Managers to close one night a week (until 10:30 or 11:00 PM).
