Pros

Great people who got along across departments. Fun working environment even when extremely busy for black Friday, big sales etc. Had some fun employee perks. Not a lot of micro managing so you can get your work done the most efficient means possible.

Cons

Walgreen's came in and put an end to all of that. Large bloated management structure that moves slow as molasses in a freezer. Extremely fragmented and difficult to get anything done in a reasonable amount of time. Employed some very dirty practices to get drugstore people to leave, including giving bad reviews to stellar employees so they could avoid paying out bonuses. Really left a bad impression behind them. Would never recommend that anyone go work there.

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.
