If someone had asked me that earlier, I would be very happy to recommend it. However, I'm not so sure now... A friend from a competing company is interested in moving here and it was hard for me to be objective. I’m not complaining, I’m still in a... —  read more 

I'm in Virginia. I was told today as of Friday the technicians will no longer be administering the covid-19 shots. Pharmacists will take that over again. I don't know why the change. Does that mean Pharmacy techs will still get their$1000 bonuses in... —  read more

we can relax and not worry about more layoffs for a while, right? Right? Didn't think so.

The usual reason for extending hours is to disperse traffic throughout the day, but I don’t notice the need for that at Walgreens. Another stupid move is to extend hours for December. They really do not care about us. Sales decline fewer... —  read more
