Walgreens reviews

Too corporate all they care about is metrics and numbers. Whatever will make more money. The merge of companies has been very rough. They release software that isn’t ready yet and makes it harder to do your job. The pay isn’t very good for the price of living in Portland. If you are working in Oregon be expected to get and maintain a certification as a pharmacy technician. You will be paid the same as the other facilities that don’t require that certification for the SAME position. So they essentially require more for the same job title at other facilities, but won’t pay you more for the added education. They like to advertise that they will help you get said certification but in reality they stick you in a room for 1.5 hrs a week (for a couple months) with a “trainer” who is really just there to answer questions and not teach you how to pass the test. You are expected to self study on your own and will only pay the certification exam fees IF you pass the test and get certified.

They were becoming increasingly strict with your allowance off the phone time, moving towards making it so that you couldnt use the bathroom even once without going out of adherence. You have to wear a lot of hats and it's a lot to remember, know, and do, for relatively little pay or recognition. You bear all the rage of disgruntled customers even when you go above and beyond, if another department screws up you get yelled at.
