Walgreens Employer Reviews

I was cashier and I worked the floor. I stocked and helped customers with their needs.

It is a very friendly and the customers are very nice. I love waking up everyday to that place. I learned a lot like how to work with others and to be more productive in my work The management was fair and and it was very easy to schedule my hours for school. The coworkers was great everyone got along with each other and never had a problem. The hardest – more... part of my job was unpacking the delivery truck because there was a lot of heavy lifting. As for the enjoyable part I believe it was around the holiday when everyone would get each other a gift it was very nice and moving. – less

processing film, fill products, the most enjoyable part of my job is meeting new customers

We have 3 different shifts, the morning, mid, and night shift and we are rotate. For example, a person who work morning shift have to check the order, fill the prescription, make phone call, and complete partial and out of stock. I learned a lot from the job, such as customer service and we would all work as a team. We communicate with each other really – more... well and we understand what work need to be done priority. The most enjoyable part about the job is we are helping patients feel better. – less

Each day is different at Walgreens. Granted, many of the tasks get repetitive, but that's how retail is. I'm a Beauty Advisor, so I assist in the cosmetics/baby departments mainly. One day a week (Saturdays) you put up tags (current sales, etc) and your main priority is assisting customers. My co-workers are considered my family (sometimes even more – more... so than my blood family) and we look out for each other. Truck days are extremely busy but fun. – less

There was really no time to sit down which was great. You were either stocking or helping out customers. It would make the day go by so much faster.

I loved the customer service experience I received from the customers.

It was an okay job for my very first job. I had a good experience there, and made a great relationship with my previous manager.

A typical day at work, I learned more about the pharmacy industry. Management was okay, better at more stores than others. Co-workers were okay at the last 24 hour store located on Braeswood and Chimney Rock. The hardest part was just getting all the customers problems solved during rush hour and the best part was satisfying a customers problem.

A typical day at Walgreen's was always interesting. There were my usual photo customers who always looked for me, there were the many shoplifters that came in the store as well. I had lots of fun working there.
I would always learn something new about my job and the store each day with each different customer, for example how to handle many different – more... people at one time, I had to utilize time management which is not easy when you have several customers with more piling on top creating a larger work load.
The management was always helpful when they saw that I was having a bit too much going on or if I called to ask for help.
My co-workers were the same way, we were a team, always covering each other for breaks or helping out. If I saw that the person on the first register had more than 3 customers I would go to the second register and get the line down.
As for the hardest part of the job, I really didn't see much there. I enjoyed everything about working at Walgreens, I had friends, my customers were always giving me compliments, It was always a good day when I would see a customer who I knew would talk to my manager about how good of a job I am doing. – less

Every day after I clock in I go to our photo lab and start my day. I start up all the macines and daily tests to ensure proper function. I catch up all the photo orders that built up during the night. Once a week I order supplies that are needed to complete customers' orders. I also visit with the store manager to discuse how the lab is doing and what – more... is needed to be done to run smoothly. Since Walgreens is a retail store I also help with on the floor customers. Helping in finding products and answering questions. I take pride n my work. I would say that my favorite part of this job is the customers. I love meeting our customers and hearing their stories. I love pleasing people and working to meet their needs. – less

Very stressful...Not enough employees to help make the job a faster and less stressful place. Management is pretty easy going but the job is stressful because it always seems like there is a lot to do but your getting called here and there and then nothing can get done.

don't know much about the company because I just did internship with them

All around a good place to work, nice co-workers and nice supervisor. Was well understood on what the daily goal was and how to meet our budget.

My days as a photo tect. is extremely fast pace never a null moment. I have learned that there as a time to ask for help and ask questions when I don't fully understand, and that there is nothing wrong with asking for help and learning from it. I have also learned that you can do much more when everyone is working together to accomplished a common goal – more... and any one person can do by themselves. The hardest part of my job is juggling helping difficult customers while I have several other project that I must finish by the end of the day, but I know that customer service is key to a companies success. The most enjoyable part of my job is definitely the people I work with, I have made great friendships through my current job. – less

Be a Pharmacist have a very diversity in our job ,specially when I receive the prescription because each one involve a particular story related to the patient disease or condition .But additional to the drug the way of the patient get the medication to treat their condition involve us in a trip of public relations.

A volume of patients and personnel – more... that the pharmacy have to work the flow sometimes is a factor to pass to another level.

I learned a un-imaginable things in this work like a relationship to co-workers, supervisors and customers. This work gave me a tools to figth in my life and have a strengths to live well.

The most greatiful thing is when I receive the sincerely thanksful from the patient. – less

A job in retail, especially as a store manager, is a busy demanding position. But I love it because I was really good at my job and I like helping people. Whenever I moved to another store the secret shopper scores always went way up. The clerks all enjoyed my management style, firm but fair. Company was building lots of stores so assistant managers – more... were being promoted quickly. – less

while interning at walgreens it was very busy which i liked. the staff was great and i enjoyed my time there.

A typical day, heavy phone lines, type and dispense prescriptions,
verify insurance, stock shelves, cashier.
I learn easy ways of problem solving, the customer is always right,and making the best out of any situation.
Management was great, we are all on the same team,co-workers i loved we helped each other to get a job done in a timely manner.
Hardest – more... part insurance companies not telling patients the truth about their policies and having to be the one to explain why they could not get the medicine they needed.
I really enjoy helping people. Seeing a customer leave happy makes me feel good. – less

everyone is friendly and hard working place close like a second family...
