Pluspunten

Intercomm plus computer system is very easy to use, and does allow you to do more with less time. It also has many safeguards to prevent errors. The Rx supervisor and district manager are both pharmacists in my district, which means (in theory) they are more in touch with how a pharmacy works.

Minpunten

Walgreens has clearly embraced the attitude that pharmacists are no longer in demand, so its time to treat them as if they are disposable. They cut the technician budget to a level that makes it impossible to operate. My pharmacy has many days with no technician at all (just a pharmacist, all day). Bless the managers hearts for trying to help, but they aren't experienced technicians and they have their own jobs to do. On top of it all, you get mass daily emails telling you what you're not doing right. You need to check more prescriptions for other stores, you aren't doing enough flu shots, your average wait time was greater than 15 minutes last week (Now that you have laid off my only technician, you care about wait times?) The company comes up with ill-formed policies to save money. E.g in WA state we dont take new medicaid patients (only exising). Except for some cases where we should accept these patients, but its a long and time-consuming process to by-pass the system block. How is this saving money if the pharmacist has to spend 30 minutes on hold with the walgreens help desk? For stores with the "9am to 9pm" schedule, there are no breaks. There's not enough pharmacist overlap, and 2 days out of the week there is just one pharmacist working a 12 hour shift. And with no technician it makes it really difficult to even quickly shovel some food in your mouth. Even if you try to come to work every day motivated and with a positive attitude, and you love being as retail pharmacist (as I do!) this company really wears on you.

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.
