Reviews about Pay & Benefits for Pharmacy Technician in Shields Health Solutions
A good place to start in specialty pharmacy
Pharmacy Technician (Former Employee) - Stoughton, MA - July 19, 2019
Shields is a good place to start if you want experience outside of retail or inpatient settings. Specialty pharmacy has had a huge wave of need in the past couple of years and Shields is doing good job accommodating that need with stretch across the nation. A good fit if you desire to start and move up and potentially relocate to a client hospital's city. All great points if you're needing the experience.
A lot of reviews here state great pay and it is if you're coming right of retail or inpatient. However, if you're experienced in specialty pharmacy, the pay may seem lackluster.
Pros:
1. medical benefits are covered by the company - yay!
2. CEO is super involved and very kind to all employees.
3. work/life balance is achievable since most roles are based in clinic settings (liaison positions only)
4. Liaisons have support from the Stoughton office for prior authorizations amongst other things
5. Good work is noticed and acknowledged in a number of ways.
6. without experience - pay rate is better than retail or inpatient settings
Cons:
1. if based in Stoughton - work/life balance can be bit harder to achieve when covering West Coast hospitals/clinics (shifts are a bit later in the day). This may be a perk to some though!
2. workload can get a bit hectic due to new client contracts being implemented fairly quickly.
3. pretty far from metro Boston if you live in the area - commuter rail is somewhat an option. I believe some are shuttled from Quincy if you live more inbound towards Boston.
4. low pay to experienced employees *key word - EXPERIENCED*

Management is awful
Lead Pharmacy Technician, CPhT (Former Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - April 12, 2021
There is nowhere to move up, they make their best employees quit due to lack of praise, support, and acknowledgement. They will always find some little thing wrong with what you do and then flip it and spread rumors. The management is so two faced / fake. Ruins the goal of the company as a whole.
Pros
Holidays off
Cons
Micromanagement, gossip, favoritism
