Director of Pharmacy - Anonymous employee Pharmacy Systems Employee Review

independent role, nurses and doctors trust and depend on you, support for variety of business lines, work every fourth weekend

little recognition or opportunity for advancement, poor management, incompetent coworkers, non-compete agreement

Serving over one hundred hospitals in eight states provides ample opportunity for networking with fellow colleagues over a large network. They have a very good web site to tutor, research, and reference all aspects of hospital pharmacy. They have stellar marketing plan to serve primarily acute care hospitals; offering complete pharmacy services that include access to clinical pharmacists and legal assistance that would be difficult otherwise for a small rural hospital.

Leadership is lacking. Many pharmacists find it frustrating to be in roles of a Director of Pharmacy at a hospital, to take direction from someone who has never worked hospital pharmacy or worse, not even a pharmacist. It confounds many employees how upper management is now recruiting outside the company for leadership roles and the new executives hired are not pharmacists or even individuals with MBA's. Many feel that their challenges and issues are not heard, and in all cases always favor the client who pays them and fails to support the employee.
