Pros

They will promise you a certain pay AND commission and even give you an offer letter to go with it.

Cons

They don't follow through and give you what the actual pay should be and still have yet to give me a full bonus. Other territories don't meet their goals so EVERYONE is punished. HR sends out a letter outlining the new pay increase structure and then you are told later that it doesn't apply to you. THEN on top of all of that, they ask you to be a team player and help with special projects and tell you that you will get a bonus for it. Then when it's done, tell you that the bonus is not meant for you. Oh, and if you really love that, you may have heard that when we went public, Mr. Jon put out an announcement that he would devote $200 million back to the employees. What he failed to make public is that it is in the form of restricted stocks that are paid out in 2027, 2028, and 2029 ONLY if you are still employed by then.

Big company, went public recently

Upper management is very distant from the sites. Local management is not interested in integration.

Pros

I wish I had at least one. Take that back two or three people there were hardworking and tolerable but the rest just push their work off on you.

Cons

Have to fight for being paid your PTO or even fight to take it, shift hours are ridiculous because you can’t leave when it’s time, no breaks, toxic work environment, overworked (shift says 8.5hrs) end up working 9-13hrs a shift, endless overtime, no real adequate staff, management issues, management belittles EVERYONE in meetings when they should pull the ones who need it and confront them in their OFFICE as upper management, instead of stopping production IN THE PRODUCTION ROOM for 45 minutes to belittle, yell at, have everyone’s job security threatened, and to back up the queue as if it isn’t already sitting at 500 orders and counting, SAME WITH THE PHARMACIST MEETINGS IT COMPLETELY HAULTS PRODUCTION FOR EMPLOYEES AND CREATES TIME ISSUES!! For all things holy, you had to ask to go to the restroom, breaks, and lunch like you were in kindergarten and you were yelled at if you were in the bathroom or on break for more than 3-4 minutes. Everyone there is over 18 if someone has to go to the bathroom and doesn’t return or sits on their lunch break/15min break for an hour-90mims and gets paid for it, SEND THEM HOME, FIRE THEM, OR WRITE THEM UP. If Pharmerica is an “at will” employer, management should act like it stop keeping dead weight in the production and order entry room from hiring the people YOU WANT AND NEED to keep your hardworking employees. Also, management and pharmacists need to help out instead of hiding in your office with it locked and the lights off or in your cubicle “pretending to be on the phone” and when someone knocks and talks you just ignore them and hide, if a manager hides in their office everyday not helping but yelling at the employees, they are a sad excuse of a manager. Management and Pharmacists say “the production numbers and times fall on us as the managers and pharmacists” okay? Well help out and stop degrading the production techs and order entry techs because you can’t do YOUR job properly, if Corporate, VP, and CEO is breathing down your neck it’s because you suck and you know it or you need to stick up for yourself and YOUR location/employees and stop letting these people breathe down your throat when they sit at desk and have never worked in the production line. I’ve worked at grocery stores during national emergencies and the grocery store’s management is still more calm than that closed door pharmacy.
