Of all the companies I’ve worked for, I feel the most undervalued here. Sometimes it seems to me that working as a pharmacist here is not much better than working in retail. People are degraded to such an extent that it is unbelievable. I don’t... —  read more

CVS is increasing their pay! $13 is their new minimum starting this month and they will be at 15 by next July! $15 is going to be their minimum for the people who work on the floor so it’ll be like 17-19 for their mgrs! I know CVS is different then... —  read more 

I left a year ago on good terms and I ran into my old store manager a few days ago who said they were hiring. I told him I’d think about it but honestly, when I think about how bad it was there I’m a bit hesitant. I wanted to ask him if things have... —  read more 

I've been hearing rumors from a few store managers that this is in the works and could be enforced as early as August. I hope this isn't true but with the way things have went (Role Refresh, etc.), I'll believe anything at this point. Sc--w... —  read more 

Everyone should keep their resumes up to date and have their financials in order, but most of all always be looking for a better job. There is nothing wrong with taking control of your future. Granted you can’t control being laid off, but what you... —  read more 

I am very disappointed with this company and I think I am unfairly 'punished with layoff' for all my hard work, loyalty and engagement. I was not prepared for layoff at all and after that I was forced to find any new job. And I found it. The... —  read more 

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 started right before the pandemic hit and there hasn’t been one day that I’ve come to work and we’re not short staffed. I don’t understand why we can’t get more people scheduled or better yet - hire more people. Is this just in my location or is... —  read more 

It's not the best but it's certainly not the worst. Most importantly, it's a job in the middle of a pandemic. I can't understand how so many people can complain when we have some of the safest jobs at the time when so many are out of work. I'm not... —  read more 

My store is ridiculous. They have me down with no hours and there’s a snitch who does almost no work. You have to kiss their but and they are snotty no matter how hard you work. 1 of the worst jobs I’ve had as far as being treated like a person. They... —  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

I hear there is a role refresh meeting on 11/10 for store managers, and they must take it from home.

People are talking at my store, mentioning possible layoffs next month but nobody knows what the rumor originated from. Should I just ignore it or is there something I should worry about?

Old colleagues just let me know they've been laid off 600 is the number they gave me. Times are tough everywhere. It's going to take a new business model to be in business these days.

If you need a part time job, then by all means I’d recommend this company to you. But to make it as a career is something I’d advise against especially if you’re looking for something more ‘challenging’. The work is repetitive, there is a lack of... —  read more
