Walgreens Employee Reviews

Helping a customer with a problem or question and seeing how thankful and happy I made them.

The scheduling was often done last minute so there was very little time in advance to know what days and hours I worked.

I started out cashiering, then moved to the floor where I stocked shelves, helped with truck delivery, made the store look neat (facing), helped customers find products or any questions they had for me, then moved to photo where I printed pictures, developed film, made posters and canvas prints, checked coolers and bakery for outdates.

It was an enjoyable experience. As a teenager it showed me what the work environment is really like and I was glad to have worked there.

I enjoy the challenge of balancing out customer service, stocking the shelves, running the photo department, and checking out customers. There was always something to do and it kept me busy.

I feel like I am ready to step up to the next level and that I can make a larger impact as a shift lead than as a head photo specialist.

I was the head photo specialist. I maintained the photo equipment, ordered the photo supplies, trained the people that work under me in photo, stocked shelves, and helped customers.

I have worked with the assistant managers and shift leads for over two years now and have made it my business to learn how they handle things. This allows me to draw from their experience as well as come up with my own style.

Because I have finished my clinical rotations and training program and intend to move to the area your store is located at.

I filled prescriptions, entered prescriptions, assisted customers with finding products and rang customers up in a friendly manner.

I gained a lot of experience working behind the pharmacy counter and helping customers.

I was the Head Photo Specialist while I was working with walgreens. So I was in charge of a specialized group of individuals who were trained in the photo department. Making sure that my Lab ran smoothly and always made money.

My time at walgreens has helped me prepare because while at walgreens I have had hundreds of training hours on the wet and dry labs that the walgreens company offers.

It was a job I applied for while attending school. Its time for me to move on to a full time position

I made suggestions for the POS to help improve the customers experience and reduce waste, I was advised that it wasn't possible to implement with the current computer system

Although Ive been learning new skills that would help me advance, since I was the least tenured employee I had not been offered an opportunities for advancement

Customer service, helping finding products, selling.

Because I would like to cont to grow with the company. Right now in the pharmacy I feel like I am unable to move up in the company.

Over see 9 other employees, make the schedule, giving tasks to other employees and making sure they followed through with them. I also preped the pharmacy for inventory time. Worked alot with ordering items and also sending back over stock. I did alot of training for new hires as well.

I was a sr pharmacy tech for 5 year. I was able to learn how to manage more then just one team memeber. Being a sr tech as also helped me learn how to manage inventory.

Still emplyed

Patients asking for me when they need any help or have questions when I am on my day off.

Flu season gets really busy we don't get extra hours , in 8 hour shift we have to manage regular work flow and continue doing flu shorts.

Working in retail I got exclusive knowledge on billing insurances and patient counselling , inventory management.

Yes, I always had a friendly relationship and I believe in better communication builds better relationships.

I discussed with my manager about having more cashier help in pharmacy when we have to do flu shots and MTM

For me both work and family are important with two kids I want to spend more time with them and see them grow up.

The relationships I am building with each and every team member which leads to more commitment from them on the sales floor.

The changes are hard to manage without the hours to do the work. Looking forward to the day when I can spend my time on customer service and coaching.

I moved up to the position quickly. I am interested in a transfer.

My photo manager position is being eliminated. I have decided it is time to look beyond Walgreens for employment.

Head of Photo. First I provided excellent customer service, I operate and maintain state of the art photo processing equipment. I monitor orders, even speciality items, photo calendars, mugs, plaques, Cashier, stock shelves, order all cooler, freezer and groceryfrom Walgreens warehouse as well as outside vendors,receiving, stocking, resets, pricing merchasdise, inventory, maintain signs, mylars checking for out of date on cooler, freezers, snacks, promote items, upsell.

CVS is much like Walgreens. I bring the experience from this position.

Several managers over the years. I cannot think of a one that I did not get along with. Many of them have moved over to CVS, I maintain friendships with many. They all knew they could depend on Karen.

Anytime I saw a better, maybe more efficient way of doing something. I would offer my suggestion to management.

I could have advanced to management. I chose not to. I really liked what I did in photo.

I am looking to expand my strengths and ideas in your company.

I was in charge of many different departments at times , my manager liked to move the managers around to learn all accepts of the company. At one time I was in charge of cosmetics keeping track of sales . Along with stocking and maintaining back half of store , besides doing payroll and ledgers and scheduling.

I have multitask experience with a fast paced company. I can work under pressure with precise actuary. I am dependable and reliable.

I have great rapport with managers and staff members.

The past year I have been working in the pharmacy area, my suggestion back there was to add more items at the drive through window , for instance the customers can purchase certain OTC medications I added extra children OTC medications to complement their antibiotics.

Yes I was offered advancements all through my career, I just have not been offered the main advancement that I want.

Absolutely, without a doubt it would be mentoring and helping others grow. Leadership is just a medium for my desire to make a positive difference in others live.

I'm not leaving the company. I am interviewing for a promotion.

The greatest aspect of my position is getting the opportunity to lead, inspire, and coach others. I get an incredible amount of joy from helping others become the best version of themselves they can be.

I have always maintained a very candid and healthy relationship with my superiors. I view my store manager as my greatest mentor and look up to him.

I am currently seeking those opportunites. I love walgreens and plan to spend the rest of my life there.

I left because it was the end of the school year and I was heading home for my summer internship.

At walgreens I was a customer service associate. Besides working with the inventory and stocking shelves, I primarily worked at the cash register. On top of that I was responsible for assisting customers with whatever they may have needed throughout the store.

My time at Walgreens helped prepare me because I had to deal with customers a lot. I learned how to treat customers with respect and to be professional. I think it helped with people skills which I believe will be a large roll in this position.

I had a great relationship with all of my managers at Walgreens. We were all very open and never had any conflicts while i was there.

Unfortunately, I was only at Walgreens for a short period of time. I did not get a chance to make many suggestions.

When there is no enough staffs while the store is being very busy.

Working at picking up window, dropping of prescription ,filling prescription, satisfying the costumer need and calling doctors for clarification and suggestion .

Im at the point in my life where I need to find a new field to be able to grow with the company

Assisting costumers, working at the photo department, maintaining my assigned aisle and working the new items onto the shelves

It made me a more responsible person

We got along pretty well

My main priority is to assist customers with their shopping needs. I also run the cash register, stock and clean.

Walgreens trained me on providing excellent customer care.

Getting to know my customers.

It was watching the company change. It felt like they values they held you to were no longer inportant.

I wanted to get away from retail.

Store Team Lead.

Strong customer service skills. Also leadership sills.

They were always helpful when needed.

I suggested that we tag out in warehouse items so we did not continue scanning that item over and over every week. Yes they did implement my suggestion.

I advanced in every area in the store from cashier to assitsant manager the only thing left was store manager and with going changes that were being made I did not want to take that chance.

I disliked managing the personalities of the employees the most. I feel as if I am good at this particular aspect of the job but disliked it the most.
