Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I am interviewing with other companies and realizing my years of service are worth $15-$18,000 more than I am being paid. Walgreens has taken my loyalty for granted.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Store manager is not an easy job. Everyone I work with is intelligent and highly motivated, adapting to rapid change under difficult budget restraints. They're all impressive people.

What did you like most about the interview process?

It is a reasonably short process, one application, one phone interview and two in person interviews. Applicants say we are good at following up with them, giving them a decision one way or the other within a reasonable time frame.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Walgreens is an American company and part of WBA, Walgreens Boots Alliance, a European company. The Euros are using Walgreens to borrow lots of money and buy other business outsides the US. They should be buying insurance companies inside the US like their competitors.
