Walgreens reviews

-After 8 years of working there, my pay went up a grand total of $1.50 -Corporate cuts hours frequently -Training is not what is used to be. When I first started, training was amazing. Every department had a district supervisor that would hold meetings, and visit stores, to makes sure all the employees knew what was going on. That was cut, and most training is either through emails, or on paper. When I first went into pharmacy(after 6 years with the company), my complete training was done in front of a computer. I did everything once, and was expected to jump right in, in one of the busiest stores in the district, in the busiest time of the year. I was the only one in pharmacy, who was NOT sent to a quiet store, to get one on one training. Training has definitely decreased.

Within the past year, Walgreens Executives have decided to make several drastic changes within the company. For one, almost all store level job titles were changed so that the powers-that-be were free to legally change the pricing structure of each of these roles. So, now employees who thought they would be entitled to a raise every 6-12 months for as long as they remained with the company, were told that there would now be a wage ceiling and place which would place a limit on the amount of money one could earn in his/her current role within the company. I could go on, but I have to get back to the job search...so uh, 'Be Well' I guess! (For those who don't know, I'm referencing the recently installed manditory, and excessively awkward, salutation that someone within Walgreens thought would be fun for everyone to say...)
