Walgreens Pharmacy 1555 Southwest 53rd Street, Corvallis, OR 97333

"Staff is always kind and helpful. The problem is there is not enough of them for what is needed. They are always randomly closed, so if you are lucky enough to be there when they are open, expect a hefty line. It is usually a fiasco every time I need to fill or pick up a prescription, and good luck getting a hold of a human being via phone without wanting to break your phone. Save yourself the time and frustration and just find a different pharmacy."

"i understand that you’re understaffed. but when it says “action needed call the pharmacy” and i’m on hold so long that i miss my classes it’s quite obnoxious. if you’re moving to corvallis look elsewhere to get your prescriptions, especially students, you won’t have time to wait on hold for hours edit: i stayed on hold and they hung up after two hours lol nice"

"My review is in two parts. 1) The employees (5 stars) at this Walgreens are some of the best around. Some were held over after BiMart was forced to sell their two pharmacies. Walgreens cut back to one at this BiMart location. 2) Upper management has bungled every opportunity to create a good working environment by cutting staff and most likely wages. Many of us have been going to BiMart for decades and we know full well that Walgreens has pretty much ruined what was a great pharmacy. Some days there are only 2-3 people there. Other days they appear to have closed because of staffing problems. This is NOT the people there. It is NOT covid excuses. It is Walgreens Inc. playing games with salaries and working hours. Plus, the Walgreens notifications drive many of us nutso. Their app is annoying. Walgreens company gets a zero in my opinion. They also have a very burdensome tracking system. We are in trouble here in Midvalley Oregon."

"The review is directed towards management and the higher-ups. The staff currently working here are AMAZING. However, they are understaffed. I lived in Eugene and Seattle and have had delays and issues and sadly that's normal. However, the understaffing is really hindering the filling of prescriptions. I thought my ADHD medication wasn't filled on time because of a shortage (understandable), but when I went to get another medication (it's a common med) I was given 5 days out of 30 and then told to come back to get the rest later. It's been 5 days and I'm out of this medication. I can't get the rest filled. I've been on hold for almost an hour with "More than 3+ callers ahead" of me. This is crazy. I've been in line with others who get the same runaround answer too. It's happening to multiple people. This is NOT okay. I'm an understanding person. I get it. Stuff happens and delays are practically normal when getting meds filled. However, the fact that there is a line outside of multiple people (usually around 5 people) and then two separate lines inside of 10+ people and you have to wait to be told to come back the next day because your prescription wasn't filled is crazy. Then when you come back the next day, and it's the same response. HIRE MORE STAFF (It's not that simple, I get it, but that's not an excuse...) The AMAZING staff that are currently working are great but they deserve more help! I almost wonder if this is a tactic to solve the problem by hoping customers will transfer to use other pharmacies instead of having to hire another person. I'll be moving pharmacies soon after 15 years of going here. It's sad but necessary."

"Ever since Walgreens took over the pharmacy, my prescriptions are never ready on time, long lines any time of day. My wife switched to Philomath pharmacy. That's what I'm going to do. I agree with another persons comment, the staff are nice. Just disorganized and under staffed!?"
