Fast-paced and rewarding
Assistant Manager (Current Employee), Cathedral City, CA – May 17, 2013
Pros: great co-workers and loyal customers

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.

Excellent Retail Experience
Sales Associate, Auxiliary Pharmacy Staff (Current Employee), Allendale, MI – May 17, 2013
Pros: breaks, customers, experience, autonomy
Cons: part time, minimum wage, inexperienced co-workers
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

Sometimes stresful, but never boring
Registered Pharmacist (Former Employee), Houston, TX – May 17, 2013
Pros: meet new people daily, interact with many patients
Cons: short breaks, not enought help, stressful setting
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.

Productive workplace with the ability to help others
STATE CERTIFIED SENIOR PHARMACY TECHNICIAN (Former Employee), Albany, GA – May 17, 2013
Pros: i was able to help and get to know my customers.
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 customer service
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Stratford, CT – May 17, 2013
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.

fun work place but management on hours need improvement
Licensed Pharamacy Technition (Former Employee), Nashville – May 16, 2013
Pros: flexible hours
Cons: hardly no breaks
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.

Very busy but very productive and fun workplace
Pharmacy Technician (Former Employee), DeLand, FL – May 16, 2013
Pros: good pay, great coworkers, great boss
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

Productive, smooth working enviornment
Cashier/Beauty Consultant (Former Employee), Houston, TX – May 16, 2013
Pros: discounts for lunches. positive atmosphere
Cons: n/a
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

Sales Clerk and Pharmacy Technician (Current Employee), Janesville, WI – May 16, 2013
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.

A great place to work.
Part-time Card Specialist (Current Employee), Jefferson City, Missouri – May 16, 2013
Pros: flexible schedule
Cons: zero room for advancement
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.

fun place to work people are friendly
fulfillment technition (Former Employee), Ann Arbor, MI – May 16, 2013
Pros: lunches were an hour
Cons: healthcare
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
