Walgreens reviews

The schedule is flexiable but only for those who are favorites of the store manager, if anyone else has a day they cannot work or would like off weekly will suffer due to that. You get what is called a promotion one day then knocked back down the next. Manager will not understand if the photo lab is busy and will still say that you are unproductive even if you had 100 orders to process. Some managers do not let employees see the task list and only tell employees part of what needs to be done and not all of the task, employee will get in trouble for not knowing or doing enough in the day. Managers will "gang up" on employees if employee is not in "the circle", and forget about ever being in "the circle." It has even been asked in my store, "who do you have the s---- to get anywhere around here?" Smoke breaks are given every five but non-smokers will not be left alone while on breaks. Once you get a raise better hope you like it b/c there is never another one coming. Employees are never thanked for help even when managers take all the credit.

For the most part, they tell you that you can go from mgt to mgr in 1-2 years. But in reality, you have to brown nose and be buddy buddy with the MGR and DM to get anywhere. The customers can be a drag. If they want to fire you, they will use any excuse to do it.
