Pros

I can't think of anything good. My employment here didn't last long. The girl near my station was always fun to talk to. :)

Cons

This is a real shady company. It's completely unclear what we do here. Put the pills in the holes, it's "pharmacy". Training is almost non-existent and then you get yelled at by pharmacists for doing things wrong. How is it "wrong" if it's not part of training? 90% of the rules here aren't written down. The failures here stem from the poorest quality of senior management, especially regarding the fulfillment and inventory departments. There are many in management, some not so great, but my supervisor was completely incompetent. And my director (so many, why are there like 10 of them?) probably the worst manager I've ever seen. That is my honest opinion as someone who was here and learned of the failures of this pharmacy. What is a quality director? Should a director spend the whole day is spent nitpicking every minor things, butting-in on things that don't pertain to the department, and ignoring the few things that the director needs to be involved in, you know, overseeing fulfillment and inventory. For example, I wouldn't get responses on procedural things for weeks because fulfillment management should be busy complaining about what billing department does. Or what data entry is doing. Or how the phones rings in the front. But anytime it's something to do with the pharmacy filling prescriptions, unless someone was being a tattletale or feeding her drama, she practically ignores it. Acts like everything she oversees run perfectly on its own, but in actuality this place hardly functions. And when they aren't ignoring their department's needs, a senior manager supposedly needs to walk around, complain about where things are on the shelf, spy on people over their shoulders when she thinks we aren't looking, and then trash talk other management personel, again thinking no one is listening?? Now directors responsible for some in-house driver program that is completely failing?? The drivers they hired are practically hobos, who shouldn't be trusted with things like narcotics. They get in accidents and deliver stuff to the wrong place all the time. Our old delivery company wasn't great but at least before they tried to take over it WORKED. My director's responsible but instead of fixing anything she ignores actual problems and tries to blame others so corporate guys in atlanta don't realize how bad she's running it and how much MONEY they are probably losing now. We have to put up with their kids, they makes us report to their Dailys kids with a very suspicious past. It's nepotism at it's worst. If you work for Guardian, you'll be ignored, dismissed, forced to listen to unqualified management's kids, blamed, and trampled over by incompetent directors who are "in" very close with the owner and could run the company into the ground but still get raises! Some people are much too close to the owner and everyone talks about it, even the other management. We can always hear them bickering and complaining. HR refuses to do anything about it. More people have quit over how this particular department is run than any other place, because of who runs it! No one wants to work for someone who backstabs, nitpicks, blames, and is solely responsible for making the whole business miserable. I would bet that all management problems are caused by one person (I won't say who), but they refuse to do anything about it because she so close to the owner. Maybe someone should look into this. This place will ruin your personal and at-home life with how miserable you become.

Pros

-The company as a whole has good values. -The people who aren't in management are nice.

Cons

Horrible management team - Bullies (Denver, CO) -Very toxic workplace. It feels like a high school run by mean girls; the opposite of a nice, collaborative workplace. -"Do as I say, not as I do" mentality from management. -Little to no training. Pushed in the deep end and expected to be the best. -Very unsanitary workplace, rarely cleaned. -Unsupportive HR. HR received countless complaints from employees about management's behavior at the pharmacy, and nothing was ever done. Going to HR only leads to more problems and punishment for you. -No upward mobility opportunity. -Overall, the President here has no respect for her employees, and it shows. If you find yourself interviewing, make sure to ask about company culture, the turnover rate, growth opportunities, and why the position you're applying for is open. Just don't expect an honest answer; you will not get one.
