Pros

Easy to figure out how to do everything if you are motivated to learn. If you're fast, you'll end up with some down time

Cons

The company regularly adds more responsibilities to your job description while also taking away benefits. New hires get paid more than employees that have been here for decades. The expectation for how many people get staffed at a time is also too little. Scheduler is not given enough hours to schedule two shift leads at a time meaning the shift lead on duty doesn't get their mandatory 30 minute break.

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

Pros

The starting pay rate is better than compared to the other competitive. There is a good friendly culture inside the company, but I realize this truly depends on where you work.

Cons

The hourly rate increases each year by very small amount, like 20 cents. No matter how good your pharmacist/manager have rated your annual performance. The critics you also input won’t seem to matter in the long run.
