Pros

Absolutely none. I would never recommend this company. There isn't any good in this company. They are terrible to their employees.

Cons

Everything is a downside here. They will cut your pay, your hours, your everything , and look at you like ...what. its a terrible..company, there's no benefit here. They are lazy, inconsiderate, lying brown nosers.. working here will be a step down no matter where u r. McDonald's would treat you better than this dump. Managers talk to you like you're stupid, most stores the staff is rude, lazy and overall useless . They cut and cap your pay , and think there nothing wrong with doing this repeatedly. I spent 10 years there , I had enough. This company is ungrateful, cheap, and full of the biggest pile of bullcrap you could ever imagine. They do not care about their employees at all. They will look at you and say so what, after doing all these awful things. This is no place for anyone decent. Management doesn't listen, they bald face lie to keep themselves out of trouble. They gang up on other staff that they know will tell on them. Walgreens is a joke. And a terrible one at that. They look for reasons to fire long timers to avoid paying benefits and retirement. Loss prevention is another problem, they bully people simply because they can. Those lp guys are constantly on a power trip, yet have no idea what they're doing. God awful.

Pros

The only positive thing was getting a paycheck every two weeks.

Cons

I am not a disgruntled employee. All of the negative reviews are 100% accurate. If you have a choice, please go to a company that value you as an employee. Patient Care Coordinator are trained to schedule deliveries for medications. PCC are forced to take pharmacy calls and insurance verifications calls that you are not trained. When you attempt to transfer a call to pharmacists or the insurance teams, they will not let you transfer the call. Even though you are receiving calls that should be handled by another team, you will be forced to take these calls. You are constantly yelled and cursed at daily. Most of the callers do not like Walgreens and are forced to use the pharmacy due to their insurance plan. At the current location, the cubicles are so small that you can barely fit the whole computer. You get a number on your desk, not a name plate. You get a 30 minute break and there are no fast food restaurants near the building. You get an occurrence even when you are one minute late. You can't eat your desk. You can't have any personal items on your desk. Prisoners had more freedom than PCC. Do not work for Walgreens. If you want to be valued as a person and if you want to treat callers with respect, please do not work there. This experience was one of the worst experiences on a job that I have ever had. I started with 50 people in my training and it was down to 10 people within six months. Two of the people in my training class was openly applying for jobs at other companies People just want to be treated with respect and feel valued on the job. Walgreens treat their employees like a number. They want to take everything from you and give you nothing back on return.

Attendance Policy is terrible. They do NOT accept doctors notes. I missed 5 days due to a viral infection and my job is now on the line. I might get fired for being sick.
