Working At Walgreens

Yes, Walgreens hires felons. However, it is important to keep in mind that the company may not hire all felons.

While Walgreens does not have official guidelines for hiring felons, the company has in the past hired people with felony convictions.

However, the decision is left to the judgment of the hiring manager. Therefore, it is important to be honest upfront regarding criminal history. It will be important to bring this information up to the hiring manager before the background check so that they have a chance to understand the situation from your perspective.

The ultimate decision of whether Walgreens will hire a person with a prior felony will depend on many factors that include but are not limited to the felony committed, length of time since the felony, position applied for, etc.

You answer the question "why are you interested in working for Walgreens?" by describing your passion for working for a family-oriented pharmacy and drugstore.

Your answer should include information about how their company aligns with your desire to enrich lives by providing important health services.

The best way to prepare for this question in an interview is to go to the company website and look at their company information page, pay special attention to things like their mission statement, values, and company goals.

Walgreens values itself as a premier drugstore in America. With a long history of providing pharmaceutical and other health products, Walgreens presents itself as a trusted and valued pharmacy.

It will be important to incorporate this information in your answer to this question. You will relate your past work experience and personal attributes to the mission and goals of Walgreens. An example of this could be:

• I am interested in working at Walgreens because I am passionate about providing various health products to customers who have trusted Walgreens for years to provide the best drugstore products with helpful customer service.

You write a cover letter for a job at Walgreens by highlighting your customer service skills and your interest in working for a drugstore with a long history of operation.

While most positions at Walgreens do not require a cover letter, it can be beneficial to include a cover letter that shows your commitment to the position and desire to work for Walgreens.

Walgreens considers itself to be the premier drugstore in America and aims to keep this designation. As a company with a long history of operation and established trust with its customers, Walgreens seeks employees who are committed to continuing excellence in operation.

This means it will be important to highlight your commitment and knowledge of drugstore operations and a history of excellence in customer service in retail environments. Additionally, you should describe your background in targeted growth, creativity, and commitment to your community.

Whether your cover letter is for a retail position, distribution center, or corporate position, it should include clear examples that show how you have exhibited Walgreens' vision and mission in your own work history.

You have to be at least 16 years old to work at Walgreens. Walgreens hires minors who are at least 16 years old to certain entry-level roles in its stores.

These roles include check-out clerks, stocking clerks, and other similar entry-level roles. Walgreens only hires minors into part-time entry-level positions.

All full-time positions, as well as management level and corporate positions at Walgreens, are only able to be filled by individuals who are over 18 years old. This is due to the time commitment, educational achievements, and prior experience required to fulfill these jobs.

The dress code at Walgreens is intended to maintain a professional environment and is casual yet strict. Walgreens has established its dress code to allow team members to exercise common sense and good judgment regarding their clothing and appearance in the workplace by dressing according to the guideline.

Generally, team members should maintain a clean and neat appearance at all times while at work and as appropriate for the work being performed and the setting in which the work is done. All team members must wear their name badge above the waist at all times while on duty.

Business casual pants and skirt options for team members must be solid black, with no jeans allowed and no skits that are above knee length.

Pharmacy technicians are required to wear company-issued gray scrub tops and pants. Pharmacy technicians can wear their own solid white short-sleeved t-shirts under the scrub top or can wear a white, gray, or black long-sleeved t-shirt under the scrub top.

The hiring process at Walgreens involves all standard hiring stages, including job applications and interviews with the hiring manager. The entire process only takes one to two weeks; however, this may depend on the position, as management and corporate positions may take longer to complete the hiring process.

Once a candidate has submitted an application, a recruiter or other company representative reaches out to them for an initial phone screening. This is typically only ten to 15 minutes and confirms interest in the position and availability to come into the store for an in-person interview with the hiring manager.

The in-person interview is usually only about 30 to 45 minutes and involves the hiring manager asking basic questions to the candidate. The candidate answers questions such as:

• Tell me about your most difficult customer.

• How many years of customer service and/or call center experience do you have?

• What is the largest amount of customers you have interacted with in a day?

Then, upon successful completion of the interview, a candidate is asked to complete a background check and drug test. As long as they are able to pass both, they are offered a position of employment at Walgreens.
