Pros
The last 3 years of my 9 years of employment we didn't work weekends and the hours were 830am to 6pm. Before that the pharmacy was open 6 days a week and hours were 9am to 630pm.
Cons
Most nights we couldn't finish the work until 7pm or later. After 9 years of employment I only made $2.12 more than when I started, and my starting wage was not good to begin with. You could start in retail or a hospital and make close to 2 times what you will make at pharmerica. Almost everyday was a mad dash to get all of the work done before the curriers left to deliver meds, and almost always new admits would come across 30 mins before the runs left. The environment is VERY corporate, and very stingy with every aspect of how they operate. Employees (especially techs) were absolutely expendable. When I put in my notice to leave for a new job they didn't even try to offer anything to keep me there. I was a good employee and was kept through multiple rounds of layoffs. But they still just let me walk after 9 yrs! They have been unable to keep techs after I left because the pay is not adequate for the job!
