Walgreens reviews

- It's retail, which means no matter how nice it is, you still have to go through silly faux formalities like greeting every customer like their appearance is the best thing about your day - just be glad we don't have to say "Be Well" anymore. That was a travesty. - Depending on your schedule, you'll get picked multiple times in a row to do things like throw out the garbage and clean the bathrooms. - If you're male, expect to do more work - it's that simple. - There is an extremely heavy emphasis on "facing," or making products look nice on the shelves. It's overrated busywork, since those nice products won't look perfect within an hour of the store opening the next day. While it's important on some level, it's not as important as management makes it seem like. - Those yellow and blue tags for sales have to be put up by someone. Expect to stay late on Saturday nights to get as many done as possible. What a huge waste of paper, money, and the possibility of technology (like put digital screens on the shelves for convenient price changes and sales notifications - something, dang). - Even if you wear dark jeans, like brown or gray, some management members won't like that... it's almost like they think Walgreens is some kind of high-class shopping environment. Here's a hint: if it takes you the entire day to realize I've been wearing jeans, I don't think a customer who is in the store for ten minutes is going to notice, or care.

Cut mandatory overtime, benefits declined yearly, lost Christmas bonus. The company used to feel more like a family who cared while the walgreens family ran the business. They retired out and everything became about cutting costs and positions to get more by paying less.
