1 person doesn't believe in hard work.

Wow this is really a great thing. A lot of times people with special needs aren't able to get jobs and walgreens does this for them. It makes them feel the way they like to be seen as, which is a string individual who is capable of doing things. So beautiful to see this.

@abelrado123 They sure as hell don't do this at the Walgreens near MY house.

I am not only proud to say that I work for this company but also the Anderson Distribution is in my state of SC.

i was fired from walgreens , and although iam not disabled, iam a person who makes mistakes not on purpose or to cause trouble, but just misunderstanding , and not focusing , and now i feel bad, that i lost a job that i use to be happy, i cant beleive i lost the only job that brought joy to my heart , and now who knows what the next job will treat me like.

This is cool. I work in a store. I think it would be better to work in the distribution center, than working in the store.

I think these distribution centers are a probably great for the special needs members & their families. I dont think its much fun to work like a dog in their retail stores tho.

I am one of the team members at the Walgreens Anderson Distribution Center, which is presented in this video. I know several of the people who appeared on this video. I ride the bus with three of the people on this video.

I work for Walgreens and it has turly been a life changing experience working in this DC. It gives me drive to want to go to work! I am proud to say I am a part of such a great company.

I work for Walgreens and I have a autistic child. Words cannot describe how proud I am of my company.

The infrastructure of the home office sucks.

How do you expect to keep up with competition if your employees aren't given ANY benefits whatsoever, or even treated with dignity, or if your home office has sick building syndrome?

I work for Walgreens, and everyone there, including me, hates it.

[zenattack2000]

lol sounds more like your married to walgreens you hate your wife and yet your still with her. get a room you 2.

It has been a transformational experience for us and we hope other businesses will follow. There are many who may hear of this building and our initiative and this video was made for them. We wanted to convey the inclusiveness of the work environment and can-do spirit of the entire team. There are no better people to tell that story than the team members who are making it a reality.

Although I don't know how this video came to be posted, it is a video we prepared for the grand opening of our Anderson SC distribution center in June '07 where 40% of the workforce has a disability. We have people with cognitive disabilities (e.g.,autism,mental retardation) and all sorts of physical disabilities. The "typically-abled" and those with disabilities work side-by-side doing the same jobs, are held to the same stds and receive the same pay.
