Pluspunten

Pay was ok given I am a single recent college grad with no kids. A 44 hour workweek was good because you always have automatic overtime and won't wind up woking 60 hours a week.

Minpunten

Training is almost nonexistant. I was hired right before Christmas (dumb choice for them) and put off to the side and spent most of my days on the register for the 1st couple of weeks. My store manager acted as if it was a chore to teach me what I needed to know as a manager. Once I got some training, I thrown into the fire and pretty much ran the entire store when I was on shift. The pay was ok but it was not worth the amount of work you do. I made 15.90/hr. I often did not take a lunch, and if i did it was for 30 mins. And as for breaks? Forget about it!! My manager told me that assistant manager don't take breaks...unless you're a smoker of couse, as she was, so then it was ok to take a break. I hated this job so much I finally quit and took a massive paycut to enjoy my work.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
