Pros

Nothing. Quit after a week due to poor treatment from the jump and awful unliveable pay.

Cons

$13 an hour on the phones. Intensive training where you are berated for the amount of calls you make even during training. Unprofessionally berated in front of my peers. They illegally required you to arrive 5-10 minutes before your shift so you can spend that time messing with the computer to clock in. I.e, asking us to work off the clock. I missed partaking in the lawsuit that came about due to this but can guarantee they were still doing this while I was employed. They required the same thing when you were coming back from lunch. So in technicality, it was a 25 minute break versus a 30 minute breaking because 5 minutes were spent walking back so you could get back to your computer on time to reboot it and clock back in. The treatment of their employees was astounding and I'm glad I quit when I did. Could not imagine working there for how awful they treat those who make them money. Also creating the perception that they are trying to help those refill their prescriptions when in reality, it's to make sure they increase sales every month. Just an all around gross feeling I had working there, especially after having worked on corporate for so long i knew the immediate red flags when they appeared 3 days in.

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

Pros

I love my team so much and we have some regular patients that are amazing.

Cons

Well I'm supposed to be full time but the last few weeks in feeling barely 30 hours a week. We have staff and no hours, customers are hateful. We're exhausted.
