Walgreens Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Walgreens full-time for less than a year

Pros – I really loved my time with Walgreens. The work was pleasant and I actually enjoyed going to work each day. Some of the high points of my experience include:
Small store = crosstraining and lots of opportunities to learn and perform new tasks
Great teamwork among employees
Ethical Treatment of Employees and Customers
Considerate Managers with high but realistic expectations
Friendly Coworkers
Flexible scheduling

Cons – I honestly can't think of anything negative to say, I was sad when I had to leave for schooling reasons, and I would be back in a heartbeat if they did short-term summer employment

Advice to Senior Management – Continue with monthly evaluation cards, they really help us learn and grow.
