      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Walgreens.

      Interview

      The entire process was very quick and easy. After filling out online application, I would go to speak to pharmacy manager in person. They always need people to help out at that particular location so she kept my paper resume and call me two weeks later to come in for interview.

      Negative Experience
      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Walgreens (Herriman, UT) in July 2017.

      Interview

      The hiring manager went into a long rant about the poor performance of current employees and that he was bringing me on to try and correct the situation. He then spent a great deal of time discussing my rate of pay being contingent on my performance and meeting his expectations. If I failed to meet them, he said he would go through this whole process again and hire someone else. It made me feel very insecure in my job.
