Working at Walgreens in Lynchburg, VA: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Lynchburg, VA Area

"I am a pharmacy technician and problems are occurring more and more with Walgreens. Disabled employees at this store are not given reasonable accommodations under law, schedules are not followed, there are not enough hours and we are constantly being shipped to other stores. The pharmacists hate their job and customers, and that attitude transfers to the technicians and then to customers. There is practically NO HR department where employees can receive help for discrimination or issues with employee managers. I am desperately looking for a new pharmacy to work for because this company gives no consideration to its employees and their health, and it cares more about a corporate status quo than its patients."

"A great company to work for with great benefits, but with flaws."

What do you like about working at Walgreens?

"Family oriented and organized coworkers. The excellent benefits. The bond with the regular customers."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be honest, be on time, be yourself, and be ready for anything that can happen in a pharmacy."

What don't you like about working at Walgreens?

"Because the company is part of a corporately run organization, when a poor decision is made, the snowball effect happens."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Take care of the customers, who in turn take care of your employees. Do NOT cut an insurance where one-third of your business leaves."
