Vantaggi

Only a few things were decent about working at Walgreens including the title of the job looks more prestigious than it is, the set schedules, and the occasional friendly customers.

Svantaggi

There is no room for career growth as a technician unless you go back to school to become an actual pharmacist. They don't care about you as a person, but rather only their profits. You are exposed to sick people all of the time and the goal is to help the sick customers, but if you are sick yourself you don't get the same treatment. Managers were very often on power trips and were not concerned with the well being of employees. Customers were often very rude and would get mad at you when their insurance wouldn't cover something. Any time something went wrong, customers and management would blame the lower levels.

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.
