Pros

Benefits are decent but below average for a company of this size. Majority of non-management employees are great people.

Cons

Wages are below the median across all positions. Raises have been only 1% increase in 3 of last 4 years (0% other year). Company practices a wage limit stop (a.k.a. 'redline') in which your position can no longer receive a raise....ever. Upper management is extremely poor (I never met my VP/Director in 3 years after their appointment to the position). As they continue to lose beds every year, management's plan appears to be to lay off the higher paid/seniority employees in favor of lower paid and overworked persons left. Yearly bonus goals are not presented until half the year is past. Labor laws in my particular state are disregarded (e.g. mileage reimbursement only 0.375 cents/mile vs. IRS mandated 0.55 cents/mile). Recent announcement of loss of largest customer (Kindred leaving for OmniCare) despite Kindred being a major stockholder of PMC says a lot.

Pros

Treat their employees very well. Good overall benefit package.

Cons

Changed PTO policy after I started and I lost PTO hours that I had been promised at hire. Lots of meetings that could be emails.

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
