Pros

You get to help people and learn a good deal about over the counter medicine. You generally get a very good deal on your personal prescriptions.

Cons

The company used to take good care of their employees. Now it seems they are doing their best to take money from employee benefits and give it to the shareholders. All once valuable employee befits and programs are rapidly being phased out, job titles are being changed with no reduction in responsibilities but with a reduction in pay, and the 401k has been drastically slashed. The stock price keeps going up seemingly directly proportionate to the loss of their employees.

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.
