Walgreens Boots Alliance Reviews

Pros

This used to be a great company to work for, it had a history and heritage to be proud of. It treats its people as people not just a number on an accountants spread sheet. It was focused on customers and being a community pharmacy ...but that's all gone now, it's all about paper trails and audits and nhs its targets and MUR targets ....how can we squeeze every penny out of services and flog our dead horses even more.

Cons

No culture , or values remainfrom what it used to be , it's run by bean counters , and vultures , who don't know what pharmacy means , it's just another retail business. They treat the staff as a cost , and a profit burden then wonder why customers are not receiving the level of service they deserve.

Pros

Depending on your store and management it can be a good work environment. The job itself is not difficult and as long as you are willing to learn it can be picked up by anyone with no to little experience. I came in with no healthcare or pharmacy experience but have been able to grow into my role in the pharmacy.

Cons

The fact that you are still in a retail setting means that dealing with patients can be very difficult. You will be yelled and you will have to deal with angry or upset patients from time to time. It’s a part of the job. Also with the pandemic the company has been adding on more and more services provided by the pharmacy which means more work for technicians without an increase in compensation.

Pros

Very good benefits and the work hours were great (10 hours)

Cons

There are no cons at this time

Pros

Amazing culture ,Profit sharing, Learning opportunities.

Cons

You have to be a pharmacist to get past the Store Manager level.

Pros

Career growth, competitive benefits, good people

Cons

Cheap, don’t invest enough in their people, not great work life balance, cutting SGA instead of growing

Pros

Networking opportunities, excellent training provided during pre-reg year and after qualification

Cons

Too demanding, target oriented, sometimes putting patients at risk to achieve targets.

Pros

The peers and customers are my main reason for continuing in a career path like this

Cons

I feel as if the company could be a little more knowledgeable about that their everyday employees go through/ do to keep a corporation like this going.
