Walgreens reviews

Loss of work hours. 40 hour work week is now just above part time for many long term employees while new hire employees can work almost 40 hours.

Working for a 24 hour store was very stressful. Turnover is very high because when customers are rude management is not supportive of its staff. When you hear the motto: "The customer is always first" it is particularly true for Walgreen. They seem more interested in making a buck than in having their staff respected by selfish customers. You have to wait a year for profit sharing and then when you finally become eligible it seems you are hounded by store management to join because there is some benefit to having high employee enrollment. You have to work 2 holidays a year and it's a first come, first serve basis. If you can get in good with the other senior pharmacy technicians then you will be promoted faster, even if you don't have the time you should or know everything you're supposed to know to be promoted. This goes for scheduling as well. Friends get priority on having weekends off and the good shifts.
