PharMerica reviews

Management is inconsistent in enforcing rules. Certain people seem exempt from reprimand while others do what they please. The head guy here has no authority - the Pharmacy Director/Manager (mgmt. titles seem to be very flexible) has him under her thumb. One person does something stupid and everyone gets punished - they don't go to the culprit, as a result everyone is inconvenienced; restricted; admonished by MEMO. Anyone who wishes to sit down (who works in dispensing) must now get their doctor to fill out forms from HR - then HR doles out permission to use a chair. There's been only an overall 2% raise now for the past several years. For a couple years everyone got the same - so the worst of us got the same as the best of us. Now you have to meet a standard of "minimum expectations". There is no raise if you move from one department to another - though you have to apply for that job. And the worst of all this is that we are losing homes - 1 facility is dropping out every 2 weeks from here till next year - (2 so far) 12 in all I believe. Our future is bleak.

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.
