I despise working for Walgreens

Of all the companies I’ve worked for, I feel the most undervalued here. Sometimes it seems to me that working as a pharmacist here is not much better than working in retail. People are degraded to such an extent that it is unbelievable. I don’t... — read more 

Low ball performance reviews

CVS is increasing their pay! $13 is their new minimum starting this month and they will be at 15 by next July! $15 is going to be their minimum for the people who work on the floor so it’ll be like 17-19 for their mgrs! I know CVS is different then... — read more

Thinking of coming back

I left a year ago on good terms and I ran into my old store manager a few days ago who said they were hiring. I told him I’d think about it but honestly, when I think about how bad it was there I’m a bit hesitant. I wanted to ask him if things have... — read more

Going back to Walgreens?

I am very disappointed with this company and I think I am unfairly 'punished with layoff' for all my hard work, loyalty and engagement. I was not prepared for layoff at all and after that I was forced to find any new job. And I found it. The... — read more

This is not the worst place to work

It's not the best but it's certainly not the worst. Most importantly, it's a job in the middle of a pandemic. I can't understand how so many people can complain when we have some of the safest jobs at the time when so many are out of work. I'm not... — read more
