Vantaggi

Good benefits, ok vacation time, great profit sharing benefits.

Svantaggi

I've been an employee for over 10 years. I used to love working for Walgreens! Great benefits, great pay, tons of help, and lots of hours to go around. However, as the company grew bigger and in 2008-2009 everything changed and They have become a perfect example of profit over people. Benefits are getting cut yearly. Medical plans are very very expensive. Vacation program got switched over to a PTO based system so your vacation amount varies from year to year. So I went from having 18 paid days off, great benefits, a yearly bonus, a yearly Christmas gift to what is now the Wal-mart of the drugstore chains. Hours are constantly getting cut, makes their employees feel like used car salesmen, and promote this facade of well being as their employees burn out and get replaced by a revolving door of new hires. Seniority isn't taken into consideration anymore.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
