September 2016 • Kennesaw, GA

What I liked

I love how Walgreens only has a small number of workers so it honestly becomes a family and you get use to seeing the people from corporate and they actually know your name and listen to your opinion.

What I wish was different

Nothing.

Advice

Walgreens is an amazing company to work for and it actually pushes you forward in the company. Most of the people who work there have had opportunities for growth in some way.

The way the company handled sexual harassment.

June 2017 • Scottsdale, AZ

What I liked

The experience in retail is invaluable. It taught me what exceptional and efficient leadership looks like in a company that offers minimal resources for their general managers to keep talent. I learned a great deal about what leadership styles work for certain personality types, and which styles do not. I was also inspired by the resourcefulness of both the G.M (Anthony Affronti) and and the assistant manager (James Mendoza) to encourage growth in their employees and further engage with Walgreen's customers.

What I wish was different

Nothing. It is pivotal to work alongside others in a "grunt" position to better understand what their needs and wants are in comparison to the priorities of leadership. This is how I plan to become a more proficient leader in the future, to better build bridges with my employees.

Advice

All big businesses are built from the bottom up, like a pyramid. The "little guy" needs to be understood and cared for to build a truly effective team as a leader. An effective team builds the stable foundation necessary for a company to thrive.
