Pros of working at Walgreens

It's easy to get a part time job at Walgreens. They provide a 15% employee discount and 25% for store brand items. Most aspects of the job can be learned on the job regardless of who teaches you.

Cons of working at Walgreens

Job onboarding provides poor training and access to training materials beyond onboarding materials are hidden by management for fear of unpaid training liability. Walgreens teaches new employees to value liability risk over everything, even when it actively hurts the companies stated values and goals. Operations leadership do not like people who ask questions and you have to work around them to get what you need like basic tech support. Robberies common in the city locations and we receive no support from corporate. Wage increases are based on a very small pot, do not expect raises yearly unless corporate is actively trying to retain you. Walgreens actively incourages turn over of 25% as written policy stated in the break room. They'd rather you leave than improve the company.

Walgreens Benefits

Employee discount and 401k program are good considering the job.
