Do you prefer working in a team environment or alone?
Walgreens is very much a team environment. This question is not a trick one! The interviewer is trying to get a feel for your personality and how you interact with others. You may work well without the need for much management or direction, or perhaps you are better driven by a collaborative and team-led environment. Either way, be honest with the interviewer about your preferences without leaning negatively either way.
"Whether I am doing an independent project or working in a team environment, I always give my best. I enjoy the camaraderie of working in a team, but I can be successful working autonomously as well."
Focus on letting the interviewer know that you can work independently and in a team environment. However, it is best to lean towards working with a team as Walgreens takes a team approach. As they advertise on thier careers page, "Building connections and a career."
If you want to be considered for the job, it is best to avoid saying you prefer to work alone. You want the interviewer to understand that you are a team player and enjoy the team approach Walgreens takes.
"I do enjoy mixing it up on occasion, and if there is a solitary task to be done, I'll happily volunteer. But I am truly a people person. I love people, and any chance I have to interact with my teammates or my customers, I am happy."
