Summary of Walgreens Employee Feedback (AI-Generated)

3 out of 5

Across all Walgreens employee reviews, a consistent theme emerges: significant disparities exist between management expectations and the reality experienced by employees.
A primary concern is the lack of support from senior leadership, consistently rated as poor across multiple locations, leading to dissatisfaction and a feeling of being unsupported.
This manifests in various roles, including Administrative Services Managers, First-Line Supervisors, and Customer Service Representatives.
Work-life balance is frequently cited as a critical issue, with many employees reporting long hours, demanding workloads, and inflexible scheduling, particularly in locations like Fairbanks, AK, and Vancouver, WA.
Compensation and benefits are also a recurring point of contention, with several reviews indicating a desire for more competitive pay and benefits packages.
However, not all experiences are negative.
Walgreens is recognized for fostering a positive company culture and values, particularly in Fairbanks, AK, where employees appreciate the inclusivity and stability of the work environment.
Several reviews highlight a welcoming and diverse workplace.
Despite these positive aspects, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction, underlining a need for Walgreens to address leadership support, improve work-life balance, and enhance compensation and benefits packages to better meet employee expectations.
The small sample size of reviews necessitates further investigation to determine the true extent of these issues and to understand the specific factors contributing to employee satisfaction or dissatisfaction at each location.

Patient Care Coordinator Level ll

Supervisor quality significantly affects your job happiness.

The primary area for improvement was the order processing system, which involved restarting the entire process if an order was interrupted before final packaging.

Explore other job opportunities – you deserve better.

The current call center performance metrics appear to prioritize call volume over patient satisfaction. Employees frequently receive direction to reduce average handle time, which can lead to rushed interactions. Compensation is below market value for the level of stress associated with the role. Additionally, adherence to scheduled breaks is strictly monitored, and deviations, such as needing to use the restroom outside of designated times, result in performance deductions.

Pharmacy Clerk

Your experience heavily depends on your team members.

As a new employee in a retail environment, I anticipated challenges. While the role presents typical retail demands, the support and collaboration from colleagues are valuable. I appreciate the positive team environment. Opportunities for improvement exist, and I am committed to continued growth within this role.

Cashier

Positive coworkers made this job a great experience.

While I appreciate the opportunity to work here, I was unfortunately required to relocate back home due to family circumstances. I value the supportive management team and the positive team environment, as well as the well-organized workplace.

Shift Lead

Depends on the manager really.

The most positive aspect of working at this company is the quality of the team members. However, a significant concern is the management style, characterized by a lack of support in problem-solving and frequently vague, unexplained instructions delivered with a condescending tone. The most stressful element of the work environment stems from management’s reluctance to provide assistance with problem-solving and their failure to adequately explain written instructions. The work environment is largely dependent on the leadership team. When a supportive shift lead is present and Store or Assistant Managers are unavailable, the environment can be relatively stress-free. A typical workday is inconsistent, fluctuating between periods of high activity that can hinder task completion and slower periods that allow for efficient task completion. The presence or absence of management significantly impacts the overall stress level. Interactions with management vary, with some employees exhibiting a strong rapport.

Shift Lead

I wouldn't recommend working at this company.

The employee discount on sales prices is a significant benefit. A notable challenge is the inability to address shoplifting incidents. The work environment is characterized by moderate stress levels, primarily due to the pressures experienced by pharmacists, although most staff members maintain a pleasant atmosphere. A typical workday involves a fast-paced environment with staffing shortages, contributing to a stressful workload.
