Pros

During my time, I noticed a troubling pattern: leadership frequently resorted to layoffs as a quick fix to meet quarterly financial targets or appease investors, rather than addressing deeper structural or strategic inefficiencies. These decisions often came with little transparency or foresight, creating a culture of uncertainty and low morale across teams. Until the company adopts a more thoughtful and strategic approach to workforce management, I would caution potential employees to weigh the risk of instability — especially in times of market pressure or organizational change.

Cons

The lack of accountability, transparency, and strategic HR leadership is not just disappointing — it's detrimental to the company culture and long-term success. A complete restructuring or replacement of the current HR staff may be necessary to rebuild trust, establish fair practices, and align the department with the company’s stated values. Until then, I would caution potential hires and leadership to be aware of these challenges.

Pros

Interesting work: nobody hears this job title without a little curiosity Independent: once you're trained you're mostly given tasks and allowed to work whatever way best suits your needs Unique: you won't find another job that does exactly this in the area Benefits: pretty standard, but kick in on day 1 Growing field: by all appearances, this is a growing field in pharmacy, so job stability isn't an issue Management: Leadership at this location strives to make this a good place to work

Cons

The hours: most technicians will work from 2:30-10 AM. The pay: rate is decent, a little less than hospital rates, a little more than retail, but in general you will be capped at 35 hours a week. Independence: while there is a lot to say about the benefits of working on your tasks alone, there is also little in the way of any real supervision. This means that all interpersonal issues devolve into a one employee's word against another, leaving management reluctant to act. Management: Leadership at this location does its best to make this a good environment to work, but they do it at the expense of holding employees accountable.
