Pros
Decent benefits Paid vacation days, I believe 7-9 days of the year Long days but more days off than traditional job
Cons
Working in stores WITHOUT a technician sometimes only having a technician for 3-4 hours out of a 12 hour day. Essentially you end up doing the job of the technician and pharmacist but only being compensated for pharmacist pay. Expected to finish all of your work without a technician and not leave any work behind so many days you end up coming in an hour early and leaving 1-2 hours after closing which means you end up working 14-15 hours. Not clear to me that publix is any better than CVS or Walgreens at this point. I remember only a few years ago, things were different. If you’re coming from a CVS or Walgreens and think Publix is the easy life, you may want to reconsider. You end up working in a way that potentially impacts patient safety because you are forced to work like a chicken with your head cut off. Often having lines of people with phone ringing, doctors calling in prescriptions, and angry people yelling at you because they have to wait 30 minutes just to pick-up their prescription because you are literally doing everything by yourself. This significantly increases the chance of you making a mistake and definitely impacts patient care because now half of your time your spending doing technician duties instead of focusing on patient safety. I’d would rather pay the technician out of my pocket or have it come out of my own pay than ti work under those type of conditions. Dont know the owner but from what I hear of him, I think he’d be disgusted with how things are being done. Anyway, some people get lucky and they get the better stores that actually have technicians 90% of the day. Maybe I will get lucky. If not, I’m out of here. Going to end up losing my license or getting sued for malpractice working here
