Avantages

The compensation package for Store Managers is well above average compared to other retail drugstores, and in many cases, above other retailers in general. If your store looks good and runs well, the District Manager will leave you alone, in many cases. The computer systems and most policies and procedures really help the store run well. The pharmacy systems are among the most advanced in the industry, and the company treats its pharmacists well. The company has made many wise decisions in the past year to eliminate waste and improve efficiencies at the store level.

Inconvénients

The company has slashed many positions at the corporate level, and has eliminated many district positions. Therefore, the opportunities to grow above the Store Manager level are practically non-existent. The districts are getting larger and larger, and although there are opportunities to mentor other Store Managers as a "Community Leader" of 4-6 stores, the opportunity to attain a DM position are difficult, if not impossible. The company recently began requiring Store Managers to close one night a week (until 10:30 or 11:00 PM).

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.
