Walgreens reviews

Ive been with Walgreens for awhile now and I can honestly say that the merge with Boots was that single worst mistake Walgreens could have ever made. Now Walgreens wasn’t the best before this either. Walgreens only cares about money not employees, anyone in the actual store including management have zero say in nearly everything. The budget cuts are beyond unrealistic, in the past six months I’ve seen PHARMACISTS have to leave stores and search for hours or just out right leave. These are people with doctorates!!! The pay to workload ratio is outrageous, Walgreens will grind you down and work you like a dog. I would never recommend anyone to work for Walgreens under the current circumstances. The cons are countless!

As of 2019, NO accrued paid-time off for part-timers who work less than 30 hours a week. Management said this is because they're raising wages to $15/hr. That's nice, unless you're already making close to that amount. But it's a heck of a trade off. Also, company limited amount of reward dollars to $5 per transaction. Customers and employees alike were blindsided by this decision. Many saved their rewards to use during the holidays to provide a boost to purchasing power. No more. Sad. Store is sorely understaffed and employees are stretched to the max and management isn't quiet when expectations aren't met; overtime of any kind is also a no-no. The rare new-hires aren't trained. So, the expectations are: do the job (many tasks over the course of a shift that generally require multiple people), do it well, by yourself, and do it in the time allotted, no excuses. And the manager wonders why people constantly call out, burn out, quit, and no one is applying for a job?
