"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."

Working at Walgreens in Boston, MA: 1 Employee Reviews

Pharmacy Technician

What do you like about working at Walgreens?

"After the years I've given, I know my customers, I am able to provide better service to them. I challenge myself by knowing names and faces, and now, I keep tabs on how they're daily lifestyle choices affect their health."

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

"Bilingual is a plus, but be prepared, you'll be expected to provide translations constantly, especially in Boston. Speaking Spanish is a massive plus."

What don't you like about working at Walgreens?

"The most stressful part is the immature bunch of middle aged women that I work with who prefer to gossip instead of do their jobs. The entitled women who constantly tell me I don't know how to do my job, when in reality, I'm doing a better job than they are, according to our managers. I'm not respected for my work there."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I'd assure that all other employees would understand the flow, and based on the talent of each employee, I would create the best system to reduce wait time for prescriptions, and therefore, stress. I'd make time for each employee a week to discuss what I see as strengths and weaknesses so that we can improve the efficiency of our work."
