Pros

You get a lot of technician help and most of the technicians are younger so they are faster and can read small handwriting better. Also centralized data entry and centralized pharmacist data review is VERY helpful (when it works).

Cons

The computer system is the WORST I've ever worked with, and I've worked with several different software systems for several companies throughout college. Very slow and COBs are the worst. Also, if you're a floater, depending on how large your district is, they could be sending you an hour away, and you don't get compensated for the first 50 miles one way. Also, there will be no more raises for pharmacists, so there's that.

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

Pros

Gave me decent pay. Bought us little gifts and food at holidays.

Cons

Gave away one of my paychecks to another employee and refused to reimburse me because of issues with "their bank." My RxM created a hostile work environment showing clear favoritism for employees. Eventually, HR got involved, and I was no longer scheduled with him. I did not ask for this change, and actively resented it, because now I had fewer hours, meaning less pay on top of the $500 corporate had already stolen from me. They had no interest in training me or anyone else to become certified as promised. Over and over again, they hired people, ran out the time on their licenses, and let techs choose between paying to get certified elsewhere, or losing their jobs. The only thing Walgreens was passionate about was convincing patients that they couldn't even provide their regular medications to get vaccines. Often unneeded. The "patient care" calls are blatant and illegal marketing for vaccines, since Walgreens makes it next to impossible for a patient to opt out of it. I would NEVER get my medications here after seeing how poorly everything is managed, how unethical company policies and patient health were regarded, and how mistreated the staff were.
