Pros

Hour for lunch and no real dress code. Their vision insurance plan is great.

Cons

Nobody knows what they're doing, and I'm talking about the managers. The pharmacy tech pay is WAY below the standard rate for a closed-door pharmacy, which is probably why they can't keep any good techs on staff for long. Ancient computer systems, we're talking MS DOS! Forget about ever getting a raise or recognition for anything. When I found out they're ranked in the middle of the Fortune 500 list, I was STUNNED.

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.
