Toxic culture and unsafe environment overshadows any positives - Pharmacist Temple University Health System Employee Review

toxic environment, unsafe patient safety culture, and an environment of hot potato blame when errors or near miss errors occur because of NO or unsafe processes; pharmacy area often operated short-staffed, pharmacy managers who seem unable to assess the true situation in their pharmacy, prompting staff to recently unionize; a director of pharmacy, who hires relatives Staff practice somewhat in a bubble even though information from other staff members (including doctors) is shared from their past institutions (often ranked, highly reliable places); very much a cover up culture Advice: Ask many questions and visit your actual work area and other areas of the hospital for at least a day before deciding to join, see the pharmacy team at work and visit other days on your own.
