Hi everyone, I’ve been a pharmacy technician for about 1 yr now; my first pharmacy was Walmart but I recently started at Walgreens. I HATE Walgreens. Their whole workflow and system is dinosaur and we don’t get a BREAK!! So I am on my feet 71/2 hours everyday it’s ridiculous smh. Idk what to do. Is all Walgreens like this or is it my location lol

Get out of Walgreens NOW! Look for a position in a hospital or specialty pharmacy. Retail is for beginners, a year is long enough. I made the mistake of staying at Walgreens for about 12 years. I eventually left and went to hospital pharmacy and hasn’t looked back since. There’s SO much more out there in pharmacy with MUCH better pay

I agree!! Walgreens is for experience only!! After you get certified leave! You will get less stress at hospitals with almost doubled the pay. Eventually.

State laws dictate breaks do you SHOULD get lunch and (2) 15 min..a lot of the experienced techs just don't take them. As for retail . Walgreens is best to get experience but yes..there are SO many other opportunities NOT retail once you're certified.Retail is more often short staffed. See if you can get them to help you become immunized certified . One more + on your resumé.
