Pros

- Often flexible with shift scheduling - $20 holiday bonus (whoo hoo!) - A pen as a gift if you've worked there 5 years - There honestly isn't a lot of pros, but it's a job

Cons

- Severely underpay their pharmacists and technicians - Depending on who you know, some get away with murder - Very little opportunity for growth - You may or may not get your yearly review/possible 0-2% raise within 6 months after it's due - They will work you into the ground if you allow them - They hire a lot of teenagers/high school students, which can sometimes be a pain

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.
