Pros
Albertsons paid well. There were many stores near my home that I could fill in for other pharmacy technicians for more hours. There were medical benefits for working at least 20 hours. There was a professional atmosphere. I felt respected. The management always tried to give the pharmacist enough help according to the number of scripts coming through each day. This was great.
Cons
There was no benefit monetarily to be a seasoned employee. The wage is only allowed to reach a certain amount and it caps off. So, I had the same pay for several years before I quit. I had been a pharmacy technican for over 10 years. I would have thought that the experience would be a value to the company. The feeling was in fact opposite. I felt that they preferred to higher less experienced technicians, even uncertified ones, so they wouldn't have to pay them as much.
