Pharmageddon - It's All True - Pharmacist Walgreens Pharmacy Employee Review

Pros

The people I work with are absolutely amazing! I came from a pharmacy team where I thought that it couldn't get any better, but it did. I can't comment on other Walgreens stores, but my store has great techs, a great Rx manager, a fantastic store manager, and finally a fabulous district manager. However, this seems to be the only pro, and other stores may not have such a cohesive pharmacy team.

Cons

Everything else about Walgreens is downright negative. Pharmageddon is real, as is overwhelming workload, constant interruptions, 12 hour days, and only a 30 minute lunch. Walgreens forums, like Reddit, constantly have reviews of burn-out, mental health issues and a higher than average pharmacist suicide rate. I am currently looking for a way out of this hell hole before I have a mental crisis of my own. If you, for some stupid reason, seek a job at Walgreens then start an antidepressant a month before your start date. It just might save your life!
