Walgreens reviews

The number of tasks that have been added to an already stressful job as a pharmacist has become ridiculous. The amount of technician help that is allowed is preposterous in a pharmacy that processes 350+ prescriptions per day, along with giving various immunizations, providing MTM, and making the ridiculous number of annoying patient phone calls. This company has ignored the potential for serious mistakes to be made on a daily basis just for the sake of "the numbers". Walgreens has developed a fast food mentality. More paperwork, redundant phone calls, less support help and added tasks have made it impossible to give good customer service and still feel like a you're doing your job as a healthcare professional.

Generally there are few people working in the actual store part of Walgreens unless it is a holiday or a lot of traffic is expected. Some job performance goals are unrealistic given the amount of time one has in their shift and the amount of days scheduled in a week. Suggestive selling bothers me as well; many people going to Walgreens aren't interested in candy as they are barely meeting their monthly budgets as is, or they are dieting, allergic, or are already buying candy. There are times I've bought candy from myself, having another employee ring me up with me signed in to the register, to avoid having zero suggestive sells during a shift.
