Pros
I like being able to help people get medicines they need and counselling. We are well compensated for our time.
Cons
There are a number of problems with the system. We are constantly training new techs due to the fact that once they get licensed, other places hire them for more money and benefits. If you want a life and family, it is hard to do in the company..We are constantly short-handed and the managers who are supposed to be able to fill in when a tech is out are incapable of doing the job. Long experience with the company has shown that the last thing you want to do is be a pharmacy manager. It is not worth the added stress and all the attendent crap which accompanys the position. T00 much stess and Little support from above. The latest is having us do flu shots. I do not object but it was a volunteer program..It is now a mandatory one or get shipped to a store way out of the way..And we received no additional help....Who fills when pharmacist is giving a shot?
