Good insurance but poor pay and lack of support

Business Outlook

Pros

Good insurance nice staff clean store

Cons

Bad pay, especially if you have been there for almost twenty years like I have Do not work for Walgreens, if you have a learning disability or a mental health issues, because they do not accommodate for that. If you need time off due to mental health Walgreens, this not acknowledged that as a illness, and if you have a learning disability, Walgreens, will not accommodate you. If you need certain things to help you with your job, I only know this.Because I have been there for twenty years.And I have been looking for a different job elsewhere, because they will not show me the accommodations

Learning opportunities exist, but high turnover and stress persist

Senior certified pharmacy technician (cpht)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Medical billing, terminology, and point-of-care patient service. There's always an opportunity to learn something in this environment.

Cons

Depending on the location, there's incredible technician turnover. The IC+ software is unreliable at times, and its abstruse architecture is a challenge to anyone unfamiliar with software of its kind. Bridging patient understanding between receiving a prescription medication and insurance claims and the processes of managing and facilitating them is crucial for good communication and employee-patient relations. This isn't an urgent care (with exception for hospice care), and many patients will impose unnecessary stress. Patience and forgiveness will be practiced left and right.
