Good Workplace
Pharmacy Technician (Former Employee), Macon, GA – May 15, 2013
I pretty much did the same thing every day at this job. I did not learn much because I previously worked at a pharmacy before this job and had already learned many things about working as a pharmacy technician.

Productive and fun workplace with experience workers.
Externship Site (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ – May 9, 2013
A typical day during my externship consist of Filling prescriptions, data entry, labeling, inventory, stocking, E-Kits, Pre-packs, and assisting in the IV Room. I learned how to do E-kits for the first time, as well as how the IV Room is ran. Management and the workers there were very friendly and willing to answer any question i had. The hardest part – more... of my externship was leaving after my hours were completed, because it was such a good working environment. The part i enjoyed the most was filling prescriptions and having them filled by their certain time frame. – less

Fast paced working environment with good benefits
Pharmacy Technician (Former Employee), Macon, GA – May 1, 2013
Pros: benefits, pto, hour lunches
Cons: no room for advancement, across the board raises not dependant on evaluations
A job like Pharmerica doesn't have a specific quitting time, you work until the orders are filled and shipped. A typical work day could be anywhere from 8 hours to 10 hours depending on the workload. I lead a team of other Pharmacy Techs to get the job done in a timely manner. The hardest part of working at Pharmerica was trying to maintain an aggressive – more... work ethic along side more social employees. – less

Starter Technician Job
Order Entry Technician (Current Employee), Phoenix, AZ – April 5, 2013
Pros: decent pay and benefits, and no impossible quotas to meet.
Cons: poor scheduling, frequent employee turnover
Good place to start as a technician or tech with little experience. Would not suggest for a long term job, to have balanced life and work. Is not ideal for those whose personal life is intefered by a poor, unpredictable work schedule. People are fairly easy to get along with. Just a good place to start.

Pharmancy with family atmosphere
Pharmacy Technician/IV Technician (Former Employee), Daphne, AL – February 27, 2013
My typical day at work is making iv prescriptions, filling medicine prescriptions and keeping inventory. I have learned a great deal about medicine brand and generic names, causes and cures of diseases, pros and cons of medicine. The management was great, treated everyone fair and just, created a family atmosphere. My co-workers became my friends and – more... was fun and great to work with. There was no hard part to the job, I loved what my job and position and what I was doing. I really enjoyed the atomosphere and the people I worked with. – less

Just plain toxic. Stay away!
Pvt. Collections Assoc. (Former Employee), Longmont, CO – February 23, 2013
Pros: higher than average starting wage $13
Cons: pathetic raises, hostile work environment, promote unfit people
I was there for 2 years and it was murder. 40 and 50 uear old women just constantly trying to drum up drama for other people. Lots of low rent people there. Watched one of the best supervisors in the place get run out of there by women older than him just because they had never made more than $13hr and wanted his job. Just sad. Stay away from that place. – more... In 2 years my raise was 0.36 cents. – less

secure job
3rd Party Collector medical billing (Current Employee), Brockton, MA – February 20, 2013
Pros: great location
Cons: not enuogh pay
I have been with this company and I do find it easy work, not much of an "moving up company" you can not really move up to upper management unless you have been there for years like 10 or more.
over all I have learned a lot about pharmaceuticals a lot about the flow of management and a lot of information about hospice and ltc facilities. The hardest – more... part of the job for me is the lack of pay. however I do enjoy my coworkers and the travel time! – less

Horrible work environment in Brockton, MA for RPH...stay away!!
Per Diem Pharmacist (Former Employee), Brockton, MA – February 5, 2013
Pros: lunch break
Cons: hostile work environment, low pay, poor/horrible management
This company is the WORST COMPANY I have ever worked for. They hired me as "per diem" rph but gave me full time hours. They did this so they didn't have to give me benefits (that's why it is per diem). The culture of this company is demeaning, and they have no respect for their employees. The techs run the show at the Brockton location. They set the – more... rules, and they are viscious, catty, full of gossip. I complained to management and they did nothing. There was one rph who was very unprofessional and got away with harrassing me even though i put in complaints. I cannot believe this company gets away with it. They let the bad workers get away with everything yet good workers suffer.Management is imcompetent. I hated working for this company and am glad to be out of this company. Horrible. Shame on you, Brockton Pharmerica. – less

Worst place to work
Pharmacy Technician (Current Employee), Mountain View, CA – January 24, 2013
Cons: micromanagers galore, hostile work environment, shortstaffed
It is a "myth" that they need more employees even though people are dropping like flies (quitting). They expect you to learn something in less than a week and be a master at it (enough so to be able to train someone else) so the training gets progressively worse. One you barely manage to learn something they hold you accountable to perform that task – more... perfectly and if you don't, then you are just not trying hard enough. Once you are cross trained, then you are expected to the job of five different people all at once. The workflow is "snake and mouse" meaning it piles up in one aspect and then everyone and their mom works on that one thing so that something else piles up and then we are all re-tasked to that new thing piling up on a never-ending constant circle. This is absolutely the worst place to work. Management is a joke, 1 to 1 ratio of employees to supervisors and each one is made to micromanage. You have twenty different people telling you different things to do and you do not know which one you are supposed to listen to. The main manager is the worst and seriously has paranoia and acts bi-polar. – less

Damon – February 6, 2013

I'm an employee and you are correct this is a crazy way to work. The director of pharmacy does show signs of paranoia to the point of sitting in his office & watching the cameras. It is standard to have security cameras in a pharmacy but this guy honestly watches them all the time even during meetings. I can't speak to the bi-polar thing but he does have tremendous mood swings. Regarding the other supervisors, they don't have any management experience & no clinical experience. As stated above the whole bunch is awful. The place is a filthy dump as well. They only use half the building which is very odd.
