Pros

you will get all the overtime you want because employees are jumping ship left and right. you will never be required to use critical thinking or logic. getting things done the quickest and most efficient way is frowned upon.

Cons

management has no desire to improve their processes. employees are allowed to complete their tasks however they want (even if that means it’s being done wrong or it creates more work for someone else). half of your coworkers are illiterate (you’ll be guessing the meaning of made-up words…often). pharmacists act like children, want you to hold their hand and walk them through finding a prescription that was already placed in tote (the only skills required to complete this task: reading the name of the facility, and then locating the label on a shelf) the “lead” has zero management skills and is too scared to even organize a weekly huddle because “she can’t talk in front of people”. if you are smart, you wont fit in here. if you have a good work ethic, you wont fit in here. if you want to excel in your career, you wont fit in here. if you want to actually LEARN, you wont fit in here. if you take pride in producing QUALITY work, you will absolutely not fit in here. after a month here you’ll realize why the tech in training program exists…some ppl are just too dumb for college. so if you want your tech license and you have ANY intelligence at all…just go to college because you won’t fit in here ;)

Pros

What stands out most is the organization’s clear commitment to improving long-term care pharmacy services—not just operationally, but in how care is delivered to patients. There is a strong focus on quality, patient safety, and continuous improvement, which makes the work both meaningful and impactful. Leadership is engaged and forward-thinking, with a genuine emphasis on building strong teams and empowering individuals to contribute. I’ve especially appreciated the collaborative environment and the ability to make a real difference while helping shape processes and outcomes. PharMerica is also investing in its people—creating opportunities for growth, development, and innovation across roles. For anyone looking to be part of a team that is evolving, values accountability, and is focused on delivering better care, this is a great place to build a career. Overall, a dynamic and purpose-driven organization with a strong future ahead.

Pros

One of the things that interests me most about PharMerica is the opportunity to support patients in long-term care settings while continuing to grow professionally. I appreciate that the company offers career development opportunities, educational support, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on patient care. With my background in pharmacy and customer service, I believe I can contribute to providing accurate, compassionate service while continuing to learn and grow within the organization.

Cons

Some employees have reported challenges with management communication or consistency in leadership styles. As with many large organizations, experiences can vary by location and department. Having clear communication and a supportive manager can make a significant difference in the work
