Pros

The coworkers are great people. Easy to get promoted since everyone quits. I saw a staff pharmacist move to PIC, then to Director in 1 year.

Cons

Nights on call, weekends all the time. Never see the light of day. Perpetually understaffed. Hi turnover. Minimum pay. Extremely stressful, always rushing due to minimum staff. Can't speak. Too much work. Not enough staff. This isn't temporary, management likes to understaff to maximize profits. Garbage rap music plays constantly. Terrible artificial lighting. No windows.

Pros

Treat their employees very well. Good overall benefit package.

Cons

Changed PTO policy after I started and I lost PTO hours that I had been promised at hire. Lots of meetings that could be emails.

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
