What I liked

My co-workers were supportive and genuine. Since work was continuous and fastpaced, time seemed to fly by.

What I wish was different

Due to being understaffed, work may be stressful during rush hours. Also due to being understaffed, training was not as thorough.

Not all Walgreens pharmacy are the same when it comes to workload. Some Walgreens are less busy than others. Although the busy Walgreens may become hectic, it trains you to work efficiently and effectively under stressful situations.

Community Management Intern

June 2017 • Salem, OR

What I liked

I like that I get to learn all the different components that need to be done on a daily bases by management to keep the store running smoothly everyday. I get to continue learning throughout the school year and have the opportunity to stay on with Walgreens after graduating.

What I wish was different

The only thing i can think of that could be different would be to have me work at the same location all throughout and not have to be commuting to different walgreens locations. Since I've gotten moved around I have to get used to different management styles that every store manger has, and some expect me to know and do things that I haven't been trained in..

Advice

It's great to have any kind of internship because you get to learn a lot while on the job, and not only do you get to learn what those positions deal with on a day to day but you get to figure out if it's a career you want to pursue.
