Pros

I made some friends there

Cons

I wound up doing the work of 3 pharmacists in addition to my own. One was so ill he could not hold a pen, one spoke incoherent English, the other was just lazy and a bully. The coward of a director lost over half of our accounts and had to lay off 8 employees. He hides in his office during the day, until he disappears in the afternoon. He allowed attacks on me, denied vacation requests and observed as I was worked to nearly to death, often leaving at 2 or 3 a.m. after completing the paperwork of the others. After a screaming attack by one of the pharmacists who forced me to do all of his work, upper management decided that he had gotten angry because "I provoked him." HR is useless, IT won't fix anything and management is anti-employee. I was often threatened that I could be easily replaced if I stopped doing the work of others. This is a horrible company. There are no raises, no bonuses, just threats.

Pros

What stands out most is the organization’s clear commitment to improving long-term care pharmacy services—not just operationally, but in how care is delivered to patients. There is a strong focus on quality, patient safety, and continuous improvement, which makes the work both meaningful and impactful. Leadership is engaged and forward-thinking, with a genuine emphasis on building strong teams and empowering individuals to contribute. I’ve especially appreciated the collaborative environment and the ability to make a real difference while helping shape processes and outcomes. PharMerica is also investing in its people—creating opportunities for growth, development, and innovation across roles. For anyone looking to be part of a team that is evolving, values accountability, and is focused on delivering better care, this is a great place to build a career. Overall, a dynamic and purpose-driven organization with a strong future ahead.

Pros

One of the things that interests me most about PharMerica is the opportunity to support patients in long-term care settings while continuing to grow professionally. I appreciate that the company offers career development opportunities, educational support, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on patient care. With my background in pharmacy and customer service, I believe I can contribute to providing accurate, compassionate service while continuing to learn and grow within the organization.

Cons

Some employees have reported challenges with management communication or consistency in leadership styles. As with many large organizations, experiences can vary by location and department. Having clear communication and a supportive manager can make a significant difference in the work
