Pros
1) Met some amazing people 2) Traveling full time allows you to build status and earn points with hotels and airlines, daily per diem, and traveling to new cities. 3) If you currently work as a pharmacy technician you will make more money at Omnicell, 4) there is a lot to learn if you want to feel challenged. 5) Never had any issues taking PTO and there is a quarterly bonus
Cons
1.) Traveling full time will become exhausting. You are never home and it will impact your personal life. Initially we were traveling Monday-Thursday but now majority of people travel Monday-Friday. This isn't the best job for individuals with young kids. 2) The pay isn't the best, especially, if you have a bachelors or masters degree. The specialist and consultant position attracts a lot of pharmacy technicians who have high school degrees. For a lot of them the pay will be significantly more and initially it will seem great, but after a year you will realize you are severely underpaid for the work you do and how much you travel. 3) The training isn't the best. If you read through the other reviews you will see this mentioned multiple times. 4) As a specialist or consultant you will be doing MANUAL LABOR. You will be pushing machines that weight 1000 lbs. You will be working with tools. Even though the consultant has a project manager role if you are working alone on a project you will need to do all the manual labor. Some people really enjoy setting up the hardware and pushing cabinets but this isn't made very clear in the job description. One thing that a lot of new hires complain about is that it wasn't clear how physically demanding the job is. 5) Unfortunately, with a traveling job one can get away with awful behavior. Sometimes you are working with new people every couple weeks. There will be no management on-site, which makes some people comfortable with being unprofessional. There have been issues with sexual harassment and toxic coworkers. 6) Management and leadership aren't the best. 7) Very high turnover rate. After 3 years as a consultant I ended up leaving for a new position that significantly increased my salary and I don't have to travel anymore.
