Pros

Payday. I say that because I can work my tail off and get great complements form management and peers but if you don't kiss up they pass you over for any advancement.

Cons

The Management lies to you and says everything is rosy (when it's not). CCR is an expensive mistake. They are isolating the long time customers. There is no real increase in sales at the stores that have CCR. How long will it take to get the investment back? Our sales are dropping like a rock. The stock is dropping also. My advice is to take a long look at the price of WAG stock before you buy. If you bought it 10 years ago you would of had 0 gain and lost much of your initial investment. Management does not keep valuable employees. Since they have to keep the share holders happy and balance the books with the expensive CCR fiasco, they look around for someone to lay off. They've been hiring off shore workers from India and we have train them. After a few weeks of this the long time loyal Walgreen employees get their job eliminated.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
