Keep drinking all the kool aid.

Can't understand why they brought a PBM guy in to attempt to turn things around for Walgreens. The pharmacy end of the business has been making money for the company with the people staffing them working their butts off. The board should have hired a RETAIL guy who could have fixed the front ends of the stores whose poor sales have been dragging the company down for quite some time now. The company needed to figure out what the public wants to buy, stock the stores with it, sell it at a fair price, and get the customers back in our stores. Sad that when you walk into a typical Walgreens store now, its like a ghost town.The upper management's complacency and lack of innovation has all but destroyed a once vibrant and prosperous company.
I left Walgreens in 2015 right after the Boots merger (after 12 years of service). That’s when it started going downhill and I could see the writing on the wall. I remember in the early 2000s we were opening a new store almost every single day. Jump ship while you can.
I'm only a few months into working for corporate... this company is a disaster. I'm already looking for other jobs. Unreal.
