Pros

The best and probably only positive about working at this company is the people. I am not talking about management but just the everyday people you work with on a daily basis. They made this job bearable and hopefully gave me friends that I will have for a very long time.

Cons

Well to start the change in management is driving the company into the ground and causing loss of respect from all employees. The company is numbers driven and does NOT care about their employees, health or families. Many years ago the company made you feel like part of a family but now the employees are just numbers on a paper and you can be replaced if you don't meet their quotas. Family or health is not a concern to this company. Heaven forbid you get sick then you must fight to get your rightful sick time and benefits. They fire people then realize they made a mistake and try to hire more people again. It is just a never ending cycle of bad decisions from management then their poor attempt to cover it up or rationalize the outcome. Computer systems are constantly crashing and management never has a answer to why a problem is never fixed. When I was hired I was told there were plenty of opportunities for advancement but I have yet to receive any of these opportunities and only those "favorites" of management will receive any benefit they consider an advance opportunity. What started off to be the perfect position led to many sleepless nights, depression, anxiety and the need to find a new job to save my sanity. Very disappointing.

Pros

The immediate team members and supervisors are fantastic—professional, supportive, and deeply committed to accuracy and patient care. The steady workflow allows you to build strong operational proficiency and master high-volume pharmacy dynamics without direct retail customer friction.

Cons

Staffing shortages and aggressive corporate metrics frequently lead to a high-stress environment. The demand for constant speed can make the workload feel unsustainable during peak delivery cycles, making a healthy work-life balance difficult to maintain.
