Walgreens reviews

Manageme needs to be fair to all employees. Lead by example and others will follow. Employees will work as long as you treat them fair.

Though I sincerely think that they make a decent effort at training and education, training can be somewhat uneven, even though Walgreens offers online training sessions in stores. Beyond one's initial two weeks, there is a steep learning curve on the tricks of the system. The friends-and-family referral thing can be difficult if you don't have close family or friends to vouch for you. Same thing with working in one's neighborhood--if you like it, great. But some people need or want a little bit of a commute to accommodate kids, school, etc.. Their insistence on personal information borders on intrusive, and the payoff (financial and moral) for the effort demanded can be sometimes low. For me, the hours required to work per day differ significantly from most others in the industry, and cause one to have to work more hours per week to make full time.
