Pros

Some good/smart/caring people still work here, but they are completely unrewarded despite carrying the company on their back.

Cons

- Terrible culture - in my first two weeks, two people independently came up to me and advised me that this is the worst company to work for and they'd be surprised if I lasted a year before quitting. I should have believed them. - Low pay - hasn't kept up with any sort of inflation and merit increases are not based on performance. - Top Heavy structure - way too many Directors/ Sr. Directors squabbling over fiefdoms creating meaningless work for everyone else and taking home the majority of the comp. First step management should do is streamline the whole corp leadership by having a few really good people responsible for much wider areas. - Poor benefits - Company given laptop/equipment is laughably bad. They tried to give me an obviously used and not cleaned headset when I started. These cost like $20 - the fact that they're trying to save money by re-using these is indicative of a lot of other issues the company faces.

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.
