Walgreens reviews

Salaries and benefits are very low and are not competitive. Annual raises are less than 1%. Learning opportunities are minimal. Walgreen's is very tight with their money so it's nearly impossible to receive any training (except for terrible "learning" opportunities at Walgreen's University) The potential to be promoted is extremely limited as the finance division is extremely analyst heavy. Management treats their employees like a commodity. There is zero attempt to keep employees happy. If you want to be in a pleasant work environment Walgreen's is not the company for you. Walgreen's is extremely tight on spending. People frequently get trapped in the toilets because the locks keep breaking. We now even have single-ply ~3.5 inch wide toilet paper. Best case scenario there is one annual appreciation outing for finance employees. They take you to a bowling alley and provide free soda..... (last year (2014) we didn't get anything).

Within the past year, Walgreens Executives have decided to make several drastic changes within the company. For one, almost all store level job titles were changed so that the powers-that-be were free to legally change the pricing structure of each of these roles. So, now employees who thought they would be entitled to a raise every 6-12 months for as long as they remained with the company, were told that there would now be a wage ceiling and place which would place a limit on the amount of money one could earn in his/her current role within the company. I could go on, but I have to get back to the job search...so uh, 'Be Well' I guess! (For those who don't know, I'm referencing the recently installed manditory, and excessively awkward, salutation that someone within Walgreens thought would be fun for everyone to say...)
