The interviewer asks this question to determine why you are looking for a new place of employment. When the interviewer understands why you are leaving your current position, they can see if the company can provide you with what you are seeking, especially if what they have to offer is aligned with what you are looking for in your career journey and whether they can support "your life and the future you're building."

Focus on being positive in your response. Even though the interviewer wants to hear what you like least about your current job, they do not want to listen to you bad-mouth your coworkers, customers, or management. When you respond, highlight the opportunities you can receive working for Walgreens. For example, you may not like your current job because there is no opportunity for growth or it is a part-time position. In that case, point out that Walgreens offers opportunities for professional development or a full-time schedule.

Avoid talking poorly about your supervisor, colleagues, or customers. Even if they are what you like the least about your current job, the interviewer will feel as if you are a challenging person to work with. Instead, describe another aspect of your current job you like the least, such as the lack of opportunity for professional growth or full-time work because the company was over-staffed.

"What I like least about my current job is the lack of opportunity for professional development. I am one year from obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Management, and there is no room for me to grow with my current employer. I like that Walgreens encourages professional growth and offers opportunities to advance within."

"I want to work where I feel like I am impacting others' lives. Where I currently work, the culture is a bit more elitist, and that just doesn't feel like me. So, I suppose that's what I like least about it."
