Pros

The worker bees are extremely good people to work with and dedicated to internal and external companies. There is a fair amount of longevity for now, and the people make up for broken procesess and systems on a daily basis.

Cons

Management is incredibly nepotistic. Hire friends and family vs. more competent individuals and people who would challenge the status quo. Senior mgmt gives mixed messages - are friends with direct reports and say one thing and do another. Trust between the ranks and mgmt leaves much to be desired. Compensation/perks for executive mgmt vs. the ranks and middle mgmt is an embarrassment.

The culture of the company was amazing and I had a lot of access to great leaders.

Sometimes you have to wait for others to move up, so that you can gain a promotion.

Pros

Interesting work: nobody hears this job title without a little curiosity Independent: once you're trained you're mostly given tasks and allowed to work whatever way best suits your needs Unique: you won't find another job that does exactly this in the area Benefits: pretty standard, but kick in on day 1 Growing field: by all appearances, this is a growing field in pharmacy, so job stability isn't an issue Management: Leadership at this location strives to make this a good place to work

Cons

The hours: most technicians will work from 2:30-10 AM. The pay: rate is decent, a little less than hospital rates, a little more than retail, but in general you will be capped at 35 hours a week. Independence: while there is a lot to say about the benefits of working on your tasks alone, there is also little in the way of any real supervision. This means that all interpersonal issues devolve into a one employee's word against another, leaving management reluctant to act. Management: Leadership at this location does its best to make this a good environment to work, but they do it at the expense of holding employees accountable.
