Head Photo Specialist

"I worked at Walgreens for almost 3 years and it was my first job. My manager was excellent and the scheduling was very flexible (although I heard this was not the case at other stores). I feel I was underpaid for all the work I did since the photo lab was pretty much the backbone of the store that did all the odd jobs on top of maintaining the photo lab. My experience was excellent however. I made friends and had a lot of very good experiences at Walgreens."

What do you like about working at Walgreens?

"Repeat customers that you can treat like family. It is better than no job. At least I have income and some benefits."

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

"Don't do it! Unless you can afford living off of 33 hours a week and asked to do more and more each day with less help."

What don't you like about working at Walgreens?

"They pretend to care about employees with a lot of chatter, but employees are not stupid and can read between the lines. Every few months a new budget is created and jobs are terminated or hours are severely cut back, but you still have to work 5 days a week and no steady hours, making it impossible to pick up a 2nd job."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Great pay and benefits. 40 hour work weeks unless employee asks for less."

What do you like about working at Walgreens?

"repeat customers that feel like family. Some benefits. Better than working at Walmart."

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

"Don't do it unless you can live off 33 hours a week. Hourly pay may seem ok, but they get you by only having you work 33 hours... do your math first."

What don't you like about working at Walgreens?

"Hourly cutbacks from 40 to 33 to pad the pockets of CEO and stockholders. The company doesn't care too much about the financial effects of its employees. It pretends to be employee friendly in the eyes of the consumer."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Take care of my employees first. Happy employees give 100% + and give better customer care."
