Coumunity Management Intern
June - August 2018 • Anaheim, CA
What I liked
I was able to see a change in culture at Walgreens. The company was working on upscaling its team members by giving them more responsibilities. Team members were held accountable for certain measures throughout the store. This helped drive pride for not only the store but the company as well. Even though the duration of my internship lasted 10 weeks, it was amazing to see the growth of each team member and the company as a whole.

What I wish was different
Well since I’ve been in school I haven’t had a job that was related to what I study, therefore that’s what I wish I had different. I get the person to person connection but nothing else beyond that.

Walgreens is a great starter job!! They’ll always work with your school schedule and you can move up in the company pretty fast.

August 2018 • Wilmette, IL
What I liked
The people I am working with and the support system that exists amongst the employees.
What I wish was different
The Walgreens in understaffed for the patient volume, and they have some policies that slow down the workflow making it inefficient and inconvenient for employees.
Advice
It is a good job overall and it gives good experience working in customer service, especially since some customers are rather hostile and really test your ability to remain calm and helpful.

The retail part of the job was very unappealing. Having to deal with rude and impatient customers on a daily basis was no enjoyable. That being said it helped me realize that I did not want to do that for the rest of my life.
