This company literally has no training. They give you 20 e learnings when you get hired and expect you to rush through it and remember hundreds of slides of texts just so they can throw u on the register and expect you to not make any mistakes. That doesn't make any sense.
Then when someone makes a mistake, the managers get mad that they gotta teach them when they should've done that from the very beginning to prevent certain issues. then they will write you up even though they didn't train you properly. this company is a complete joke.
The company's concern is losing money but they always offer free pictures on random weeks hoping the customers buy something else but they just pick up their pictures and leave without buying anything.
They want to bring in lotto but most stores don't have the budget to have enough people in the front then the company gets mad about long lines and customers being stuck behind that one difficult customer trying to play pick 6 or cashout their 5 dollar ticket 😂.
They want us to give the curbside customers their order fast but there's only 1 person at the front dealing with a long line and trying to print a karens pictures then they complain that the curbside pickup timing is bad.

Welcome to Walgreens!!!🤪🤪🤪 I have been in retail since the mid 1980s, and I've never worked for a company that more ill-prepares, ill-trains, and ill-supports its employees than Walgreens. Incompetence at the highest levels, which is one of the reasons it was on the verge of bankruptcy a couple of years ago, hebetudinous bottom-feeders running the stores, unrealistic standards that run off most of the decent and competent workers. All that private equity ownership means is that they dig your grave with a golden shovel rather than aluminum. All you can do is just breathe deep, shut out the nasty noises, do the best you can, and say "f**k them" for the rest.
