Walgreens reviews

Working on holidays is never fun, but as long as they do a fair job of divying things up it is ok. It almost seems like you could do anything there and still keep your job. There have been employees that have used over 50 sick days in a year and not recieve any disciplinary action.

It's definitely a dog eat dog company. Don't plan on anyone being your common teammate to acheive a common goal. There is no team, just a bunch of asst mgr's trying to leap frog themselves into an Executive Assistant Manager position at any cost to anyone. Instead of spending thorough time training their Asst Mgr's on each department they demand you remember how to do something months after the 1st time you were trained on the task. (i.e. Trained 1 time, 1 day, months later you have to do it perfect or you get written up or hammered by the Store Manager) If your an Asst Mgr assigned to a night or evening position and you have a major emergency don't call for help because no one will be there to take your call. They definitely have training modules and timelines. One manager was so enthralled in having the best time for these that the employees simply had to take the test at the end of each video training section over and over until they got the answers right instead of letting them take the time to read through the material before the test. The pharmacy is another story in itself. The tech's are terribly paid but must do the work of someone who is paid 3X their paycheck. It's just plain dangerous to work in the stock rooms without adequate equipment and the demands of customer service.
