Walgreens reviews

Low pay Hours can get cut anytime regardless of whether you’re full time or part time. Full time for Walgreens is 30 hours, not 40. Manager and corporate doesn’t have your back. They do whatever the patient wants just to keep the business. The managers makeup their own rules and the policies and procedures are very inconsistently followed. Techs and pharmacists do not receive proper training because the company doesn’t believe in formal training even though you’re dealing with peoples’ medications and a mistake can kill the patient. Pharmacy managers do whatever they can to not take responsibility for what’s really going wrong in their pharmacy. They turn a blind eye and pretend prescriptions aren’t consistently getting filled incorrectly. I can go on for days. I worked their for 11 years. The company has changed a lot through the years for the worst.

New management is more concerned with metrics and rushing out orders than they are accuracy or patient care. They want every store to “feel the same” for out of towners, but do nothing for the local community. District Managers (Who now we’re all former store managers) have no business being “over” pharmacists, who are more highly educated and suited for the job than they are. However Walgreens found a way to save more money at the expense of patients and pharmacists. Pharmacists are given unlimited number of tasks and expected to complete them while caring for patients, by someone who has no idea what the pharmacist is even doing.
