Vantaggi

The discount and co-workers are generally a good lot.

Svantaggi

As of 2019, NO accrued paid-time off for part-timers who work less than 30 hours a week. Management said this is because they're raising wages to $15/hr. That's nice, unless you're already making close to that amount. But it's a heck of a trade off. Also, company limited amount of reward dollars to $5 per transaction. Customers and employees alike were blindsided by this decision. Many saved their rewards to use during the holidays to provide a boost to purchasing power. No more. Sad. Store is sorely understaffed and employees are stretched to the max and management isn't quiet when expectations aren't met; overtime of any kind is also a no-no. The rare new-hires aren't trained. So, the expectations are: do the job (many tasks over the course of a shift that generally require multiple people), do it well, by yourself, and do it in the time allotted, no excuses. And the manager wonders why people constantly call out, burn out, quit, and no one is applying for a job?

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.
