Pros

Predictable, repetitive, easy (if you get someone to actually train you) work. Fine if you are on day shift.

Cons

Low pay Lead technician clearly stopped caring about his job a long time ago and pawns off his responsibilities of training to other techs that are definitely not paid enough to care whether a new hire succeeds or not. Probably won't be seeing them in the next couple of months anyways because Pharmerica/brightsprings can't keep anyone because of pay and misleading temps with higher start off rate and then it drops $2-3 if they offer you to be hired into the company. If you work the 1 to 10pm don't expect to get off at 10 unless you're a temp. Because it is never 10. Closer to 11 or midnight 99% of the time. Work environment is becoming toxic because they chased off the few people there that brought smiles and laughter and hired in people causing friction and trouble among workers. The one tech there that trained all the good techs was pregnant and they screwed her out of paid maternity leave because she worked there for a year but wasn't hired in by the actual company for a year. So left with almost no good techs for months and stretching everyone thin. Hired in new people that aren't working out but they don't care. Save yourself the trouble and fins somewhere else or just plan on being there 3 months and change jobs.

Pros

Decent hourly wage Job is extremely easy- though your boss and corporate will treat you so badly that even the easiest of jobs becomes terrible and difficult

Cons

Extremely abusive and toxic work environment HR department is best buddies with the boss and will not take ANY allegations seriously, even with documented proof Will fire employees who stand up for themselves or treat you so badly you are forced to quit Will scream at you constantly over tiny things Boss and all people in positions of power barely know how to do their jobs and abuse their power constantly Impossible to get a raise, even after years your hourly wages will barely budge No employee appreciation, will buy you disgusting premade cookies from Safeway and think that’s enough Disregards and attempts to violate PTO and FMLA laws Job destroyed my mental health Most walk outs and employees quitting in quick succession that I have ever experienced at any job- people will literally take pay cuts and go back to awful, abusive, underpaying pharmacy retail jobs just to get out of here
