Walgreens and CVS have destroyed the pharmacy profession. Placing profit over patient safety and yet still underpay Pharmacists! Thank you corporate greed, I genuinely hope you get what’s coming to you.
Right now, they're laughing all the way to the bank. Corporate executive raises are on a upward trend for the last 40 years. Drastic changes have to happen in culture or regulation to change this.
If we lived in a world where everything was given to us for free and we could choose to work or not, how many people would actually chose to be a pharmacist? Point being the majority of people in pharmacy are here for the money imo. Based purely off anecdotal evidence and experience of talking to people. With that said Walgreens has a 4% match 401k and plenty of growth opportunity due to so many ppl leaving. One complaint i have with them is the stock is trash, but let it be known they pay about 10% or so in dividends. Many ppl just dont want to work!
@@thehappypharmd In a vacuum, no. This issue is not that people just dont want to work. Most people want to work and get paid to be able afford a decent living. My comment was more ment to say people dont want to work for Walgreens because they dont believe they are getting compensated enough for what theyre doing. Based on my experience with the company I think theyre treating pharmacist fairly well, compared to other pharmacist jobs and other professions im general. Coming up on my 5th year and im already a manager making more or less to 170k a year (including bonus, OT, etc.), make my own schedule, have retirement, paying off my debts, and am in progress to purchase a house. Im living in Miami, fl. btw a very saturated market where everything has gone up due to the great Florida migration over the last few years. Maybe better opportunity exists, but for a company that has given me so much in such a little bit of time, I dont get the vitriol and hate this company gets from pharmacist.
Honestly i just feel pharmacy in the United States especially needs to be recognised more, it needs to be elevated more, the only way forward is like what's happening in England where all pharmacists now can prescribe and diagnose for all conditions much like a gp, now pharmacists needs to be incorporated more into the health care, away from dispensing and checking medications, that's what i think will solve 99 percent of pharmacy problems in the US
Retail should allow pharmacists to verify scripts from home and they could have fast mover vending machines where people could get scripts filled and things that aren’t as fast or narcotics can be filled at closed door wharehouses where they can have it mailed to them or delivered stat that day. I think the workers would be happier and honestly the pharmacist s and techs are mandated so either they are going to make changes or have no business

Could you clarify: do you think the problem with Walgreens is that the people there don't want to work?

I like Prescribing rights, in fact I think it's a part of our future. However, isn't that more of a workload on a already overworked profession?
