Walgreens – Overworked is an understatement. Underpaid is an understatement. No work/life balance whatsoever. Worked mechanically through "downtime" on a 8-9 hour shifts. Walgreens is unbelievably expensive, too. No real benefits. Needy customers. Coupons are confusing. Employee discount only real plus. | Comparably

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Legitimately nothing. It is a robotic & unrewarding work environment

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Giving employees space to breathe & care for themselves while on the clock. They work us relentlessly & with both overwhelming & impossible expectations

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Walgreens is expensive. The rewards system is too complicated (coupons especially) for both employees & customers to really benefit from. Again, employees grnuinely overworked, etc

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

The working class & working poor need actual health benefits, for one. & Reasonable pay for the exhausting workload were expected to fulfill every 9 hour shift. Actual time to eat (15-30 mins is not enough time, seriously). Also, more reasonable store prices. Walgreens' prices alone are criminal

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

My coworkers are not the issue. We all work incredibly hard against our will for the better part of our days. Seriously, it doesn't matter how early I come in; even if im scheduled to work as soon as we open. I never have any time left to do anything (even productive) w/ my day. We are overworked
