Pros

Predictable, repetitive, easy (if you get someone to actually train you) work. Fine if you are on day shift.

Cons

Low pay Lead technician clearly stopped caring about his job a long time ago and pawns off his responsibilities of training to other techs that are definitely not paid enough to care whether a new hire succeeds or not. Probably won't be seeing them in the next couple of months anyways because Pharmerica/brightsprings can't keep anyone because of pay and misleading temps with higher start off rate and then it drops $2-3 if they offer you to be hired into the company. If you work the 1 to 10pm don't expect to get off at 10 unless you're a temp. Because it is never 10. Closer to 11 or midnight 99% of the time. Work environment is becoming toxic because they chased off the few people there that brought smiles and laughter and hired in people causing friction and trouble among workers. The one tech there that trained all the good techs was pregnant and they screwed her out of paid maternity leave because she worked there for a year but wasn't hired in by the actual company for a year. So left with almost no good techs for months and stretching everyone thin. Hired in new people that aren't working out but they don't care. Save yourself the trouble and fins somewhere else or just plan on being there 3 months and change jobs.

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
