I might be getting hired for the cosmetics department at Walgreens and wondering what the job entails. They mentioned something about commision for promotional items. Just like to hear current or past employees own perspective about the job..

  1. i have been in the cosmetic department for about 2 and half years now and i enjoy. you do earn commission on a good number of things, people look to you for advice and help with all sorts of cosmetic questions. during the holidays is normally when i earn the most commission because of the gift sets. i earned $100 bucks on one paycheck! (you get paid every 2 weeks) but since its not the holidays i normally get about 60 a paycheck. its all in how to push items and knowing which ones you get commission for. but as for the department you will be putting stock away checking overstock, and resets, that's where you pull deleted items and put new items on the shelf in a specific order. but the number 1 thing is to ring up as many customers in cosmetics as you can. customers come before any task you are doing.


  2. I work in the Photo Dept at Walgreens and I really like it alot. Cos and photo does pay commissions/bonuses on promo sales and often sponsor contests for individuals and store performance so there is more incentive money for top performers but seriously don't base your income on it. I made a whole $1.50 for the week last week in commissions from photo sales. Just remember that your position involves sales and the more you sell, the more you earn. If you are a people person, you'll do well. Walgreens is a really good company and you get employee discounts (15-20%) even on sale items. Walgreens carries national brand cosmetics and its own line of Studio 35 products. If you know your products and like people, you can work your way up and get established following of customers that know and trust you and your advice. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Walgreens is big on customer service excellence. If you do what you love and love what you do, the money will follow.
