Wouldn't ever recommend a pharmacy job at Walgreens

Pros

Can't think of any. The company is getting worse with time, I wouldn't ever fill my prescriptions here (and I'm a pharmacy employee).

Cons

Constant cutting of hours. Dangerous pharmacy environment conditions - we need to fill prescriptions faster with less help. We are getting our pharmacy hours cut every month, even though our prescription volume is constantly increasing. Mistakes are happening left and right, pharmacists are under more stress and pressure to vaccinate and perform health tests to everyone. This is a job, not a career. There is no way to move up. You do the same job everyday, eight hours, getting berated by customers and by your superiors. Pharmacy managers are dropping left and right because there is too much work being given to them. You are required to work on your vacation days. You are expected to use your vacation days to do flu clinics. This is not the company it used to be ten years ago. Crap benefits and crap insurance because we were all thrown into the marketplace. This company is getting cheaper and cheaper by the minute. To anyone interested in a pharmacy job, go ask any pharmacy employee what their honest opinion is. Your pay is capped at some point and won't ever increase; though you are required to work harder and faster.

Great company until 2009

Pros

They used to promote from within and encouraged employees to stay with the company long term. They always offered stock purchase programs to employees.

Cons

In 2009 they began laying off employees who had been with the company the longest. They did not offer any pay cuts or the possibility of remaining with a downgraded position. They destroyed the office morale of all the remaining employees.
