Walgreen's Work Values

Daily Duties at Walgreen's:

I was hired out of Pharmacy school as a floater pharmacist at Walgreens. I would go to appointed stores to relieve the normal staff pharmacist that was on vacation. In 2004 I was placed in a staff pharmacist position in an undesrable store in down town louisville. I worked at that store for 2 years and wanted to be closer to home. The Daily working of the pharmacy included Taking in new prescription by scanning the images in to database, entering all information on prescription, ensure proper patient address and personal information is correct with updated insurance prior to them leaving the drop off window. Pull and count the correct medication from the shelf. Do a final verification for the prescription for accuracy prior to sale to the patient. At pick up window I verify all patient information prior to sale to ensure correct patient. Then I proceed to counsel on all new prescriptions and offer to counsel on refills. During this process I worked with 2-3 technicians to assist in many tasks. This increases productivity and speed of filling prescriptions I get new prescriptions from doctors that call in or transfer prescriptions from a competitor. I handle customer complaints as required.

What they like about Walgreen's:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
