Walgreens reviews

I worked for the company for 3 years, I was about to be promoted to assistant manager. Went through the two-interview process with two different community leaders. Went well. All that was left was to wait until a position opened up in a store for an assistant manager. Never happened because corporate put a hiring freeze on the entire district. On top of that, they were doing away with the assistant manager position entirely (which paid $18/hr) & created new ranks so that you would have the same amount of responsibility for $11-12/hr. At this point, there was no opportunity for growth/promotion for me or any employees.

Un-Realistic work ideals. Don't let Management use you to do their job, I was just a photo tech answering management type calls and duties then was asked why i wasn't getting my job done. NO training time, they expect you to learn everything on your own. Then they don't allocate time for you to do web based training and learn new procedures but they expect you to get it done when they don't give you a break from your normal job duties. I don't like the fact that we're supposed to help people live healthy life styles but our suggestive sales are always candy and products that are bad for peoples health.
