Walgreens Employer Reviews

I love meeting and helping people maintain a healthy life.
I have learned how to do inventory.
Management is always understanding.

Through this job, I made some great friends and really enjoyed working there.

On a daily basis it is a great place to work. We have a very close team and we all preform to better ourselves and the company. The majority of our customers are regulars and we get to learn and grow with them!

Your greeted by everyone, it makes you feel loved and wanted.
I learned how the system works and what to do when things go wrong.
My managers were amazing, fun, understanding, caring, and nice all around.
Co. workers were nice and caring as well and very helpful.
The hardest part was dealing with customer who were angry.
The most enjoyable part was – more... the experience. – less

Dedicated employees and customers help make the days enjoyable. Not having a consistant schedule and the possiblitiy of being transferred at any given time with very little notice can be problematic.

My day to day duties vary depending on what area in the store I am working in. Working as a cashier, beauty advisor and auxiliary pharmacy staff gave me a variety of useful experience. The best part was the day to day interaction with the customers and the community. At Walgreens they really make the staff into a family, your co-workers are very much – more... a positive part of your life. The hardest part of the job can be monotonous shifts that drag, but often the interactions with co-workers make these days bareable. – less

Most of the day consists of verifying prescriptions, filling if there is not enought tech help and answering questions about otc products. If you like your staff then the day will go by much better with jokes and conversation around the pharmacy. Gets stressful if you work at a busier store.

On a typical day at work I would come in and fill medications, type prescriptions, and help customers. I was responsible for compounding medications, making the schedules, and supervising the other technicians as well as performing the other tasks necessary for a retail pharmacy to run as it should. I would say that I work well with fellow employees – more... as well as management. The hardest part of the job is keeping everyone happy and the most enjoyable is going home knowing that I have done so to the best of my ability. – less

Great place to work also a great staff. I was able to learn quickly with excellent and clear instructions. I love the hands on duty, helping others in need.

Helping customers was a typical day at work. I learned how to use the cash register at a fast pace. Management always made sure we were comfortable and so did co-workers. The hard-part was determining who needed more hours. The most enjoyable part was we all got to rotate shift positions.

The people are fun but the pay is okay, could be better. The treatment towards new employees is different from the ones that have been there longer. They don't have the time to train new workers, plus the breaks are short and very hard to get one.

I loved working at Walgreens! The staff is friendly and everyone works together as a team

A typical day at work was very busy with customers coming in and out. Typing prescriptions at the counter can be frustrating when having to deal with insurance claims not processing and a long line of customers.
I learned the value of treating customers right, always showing up to work on time, and how nice it is to have a very good group of coworkers – more... and bosses.
The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to help people get better. – less

I've learned the support of team work on a busy day. The lines were long with impatient customers, co-workers were there without asking for help to shorten the lines. The hardest part of the job is needing assistance with pricing or a manager override and the store is hectic around holidays.
Management was alright in my opinion. One manager was there – more... to do her job and help out with other co-workers and the other manager only did enough to get by.
The most enjoyable part of my job was giving the customers hearty smiles, excellent, and quick customer service. To seeing them walk out the door in a better mood than they walked in with is a plus. – less

I was able to fill prescriptions, typed-in prescriptions and also did several doctors' office calls

I am a cashier most of the time, so I deal with a lot of customer service issues. I also rotate stock and stock shelves, and I have a little bit of experience in the pharmacy.

The people that come in are as pleasant as the co workers and mangers that I worked with I love it....

Greeting customers, stocking and inventory, conducting beauty consults

Even though I worked another full-time position previously and am currently looking for another one, I have stayed on at Walgreens because it is an excellent part-time job that works around any schedule I need them to.

A work day would be 8-9 hrs. A high demand on orders being processed and shipped out of state. I learned that a specialty pharmacy is a great place to work and we shipped feritly and all special needs meds around the counrty. Managment team was fair and supportive to their employees. My co workers were great we all helped each other when our station – more... became very busy. Team players. The hardest part of the job was working in hot conditions. I really enjoyed filling orders for patient who were in home care, doctors offices and fertility clinics. I learned so much. – less
