So I was talking to my roommate who works at walgreen's he said now that he's considered an intern, his schedule is set to 9-5 monday through friday (never any weekends) which I found pretty hard to believe. Anyone know if its all walgreen's stores that do this?
I only work weekdays and so do many of my classmates, pharmacies ranging from Safeway, Fred Meyer, Kaiser and Kmart. During the school year I plan on picking up weekend hours though.
I'm in the summer intern program at Walgreens and I also work 9-5 Monday-Thursday, Fridays are "intern days" which mean we could be doing any number of things (but still counts as an 8 hours day). My pharmacy manager told me that he was actually told the he could not schedule me on weekends. But whatever, I like having a set schedule and weekends off 🙂
It depends on where you are. I worked for Wags last summer in the internship "program" and I was little more than fill-in staff. I worked nearly every weekend and most of my shifts were closing shifts.
This summer, I'm in the internship program of a competitor and work strict M-F 9-5 hours. I always work in the same pharmacy and have started to actually recognize some patient names. Night and day experiences.
