Used to be an employee/customer care focused company, but has become only concerned with the bottom line. - Pharmacist Walgreens Employee Review

Pros

The pay rate, health insurance, and PTO policy are comparable to what is offered by other retail pharmacy employers. The other employees and the customers are the main reason I like working for Walgreens. Everyone works together as a team and management is somewhat supportive.

Cons

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.
