Pros

The hospital coverage and insurance (which include free medications) are strong benefits. I have worked with great coworkers, and many employees who genuinely care about helping patients and providing great patient service.

Cons

Favoritism in the pharmacy hurts morale and fairness. Gossip contributes to an unprofessional environment, and micromanagement makes it difficult to work independently. Since the current interim pharmacy manager took over, the department has become much more disciplinary, with a heavy focus on write-ups, even when employees are sick and provide a doctor’s note, which shows a lack of empathy toward employees. Opportunities for advancement appear limited, and the internal hiring process lacks communication, with some applications sitting for months without any update. It is also frustrating to see people hired based on personal connections or preference rather than qualifications, especially when qualified and hardworking employees are overlooked. The HMO insurance plan can also be frustrating, with long wait times and limited access to a primary care physician

Pros

Good benefits, consistent hours and work, holiday pay. Great co-workers but the leads were more approachable than upper management.

Cons

It's a lot of who you know and not what you know. There is a lot of hand waving with any issues you bring up and management may target you for any small reason. Beware of Management, they can go on a power trip. One or more members of upper management can block progress if you ever plan on moving out of the department. Pay is behind the times and your reviews will never match your output. Manager is not approachable but wants you to go to them before you tell anyone else. If you see something, you're better off either not saying anything or reporting it anonymously. Very political, lots of favoritism.
