Vantaggi

We get psuedo-paid holidays, and by that I mean they will tally up your average weekly hours, divide it by 5 days in a workweek, and pay you an extra "average" workday. So if you only work 15 hours a week, but just so happen to work a holiday, you will only make an extra 3 hours worth of pay. We also get an employee discount of 15%, which is helpful, but things are generally cheaper elsewhere. I'm apparently lucky enough to work at a store where most employees are helpful and easy to get along with, although management is a bit on the condescending side.

Svantaggi

When i was hired i received a total of 2 days training before closing the Photo Dept alone. From what I've noticed this is normal practice at the store I'm in, especially with the hours that got cut lately. Management will treat us employees like we are just there to do all the work while they do the bare minimum. Pay raises are impossible to get, and when they do come it's a slap in the face. Hard workers get pushed to do obscene amounts of work, while the less motivated employees don't get assigned anything because management knows the job wont get done.

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.
