Pros
Great work environment, small company and they provide benefits for full time employees after a 90 day probation period. I worked in the pharmacy as an assistant and it was great.
Cons
Only negative was how the company handled the closing of the pharmacy. For a company that uses their “employee owned” status as a pro for working there they did not take into consideration the opinions or the consequences to livelihood of closing the pharmacy. In their release statement to the public they said after much consideration with their employee owners but that was not the case. We were told less than one month the pharmacy was closing and the severance came with so many conditions it essentially worked out so the severance was not actually paid. As a pharmacy assistant I wasn’t even offered severance, only that I can join the front end as a cashier which I didn’t take since I was working on becoming a pharmacy technician. I understand the loss of profit in an independent pharmacy and am not upset with their decision to close it but more how they handled the aftermath. One of the employees in the office was heard on the phone telling a pharmacy manager that the pharmacy clerks (who some had been in the pharmacy for over 15 years) didn’t deserve severance because they were just cashiers.
