Pros
LTC pharmacy is a good setting to work in as a pharmacist. Less stressful than retail pharmacy; provides a closed-door environment. Managers (locally) willing to accommodate scheduling needs within reason.
Cons
-Many of our pharmacy technicians, and some pharmacists, have had no pay raises in several consecutive years, while managers are eligible for bonuses. -There are little to no incentives to work for PharMerica beyond the bare minimum (paid time off, paid holidays, etc). -Extremely strict attendance policy. -Constant pressure to do more work in less time, and with fewer employees. -Poor IT support. -Unrealistic expectations from middle/upper management regarding productivity versus providing quality work. -Supervisors are unwilling to help on the floor when needed; staff are left to deal with out of control work load, especially in the evening hours.
