This is unfair
Store manager told me last year he will be taking pay cut for second year in a row. He said NPS scores mean nothing because no bonuses. Imagine in one year taking a $16,000.00 pay cut but expected to do more with fewer people and hrs.. Associates are... — read more
Bonus?
Any update if there will be a bonus? When? How much?
A dying organization
Worked as a shift lead opening and closing the store. Store manager who hated the job, couldn’t keep staff and constant shop lifting. The place is not safe for customers or employees

Walgreens to Lay Off 10,000 Employees
That should be the title. Here is my math... 200 stores closing, at 50 employees per store you are looking at 10,000 people losing jobs in the USA only. Also, if they are planning to write off 600 to 700 mil - that's consistent - assuming 60K in... — read more
