Pros

Culture is improving Somewhat okay compensation benefits package Some managers care about work/life balance Opportunity for somewhat flexible work schedules Recent internal push for better collaboration between teams People are generally friendly I enjoyed working here for the most part, it worked out okay for me but not everyone was as fortunate.

Cons

Major issues with middle management, lack of cooperation, grudges, personality conflicts, disrespect and resistance to change. Inability to retain skilled workers long term, with very high turnover almost everywhere. Generally low salaries for FTEs Managers and Directors filter information and distort facts that get presented to upper management. Major immaturity issues overall among many department's staff including managers and directors. Huge dependence on contractors. Lack of follow-through overall leading to many projects never reaching 100% completion. Ironic that a Pharma company is a smoker's paradise. Lots of unhealthy behavior among staff, seems like almost everyone is smoking, vaping, an alcoholic or using some type of pills. Significant lack of organization and communication. On-boarding is a mess, new hires are lucky to be able to do their jobs when they show up. Some managers/directors lead with fear and intimidation. Staff equipment is years behind, old computers and laptops, outdated software including Office/Windows 7, very difficult to get anything nice, making productivity very difficult. Dependence on cheap or free solutions which lack proper support for enterprise environments. Business leadership seems to care only for shareholder interests, not keeping the customer and actual human lives as the focus for what we do. Egos are thrown around in meetings. Too many "movers and shakers" and not enough stable ground troops to get the work done. Too many people with ADD hindering ability of staff to have in-depth and productive meetings and conversations. Primary growth is through acquisition, often small facilities that are a complete mess adding more challenges and difficulties to existing issues. Business drivers often don't know what they want making directives vague and hard to fulfill.

Pros

One of the things that interests me most about PharMerica is the opportunity to support patients in long-term care settings while continuing to grow professionally. I appreciate that the company offers career development opportunities, educational support, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on patient care. With my background in pharmacy and customer service, I believe I can contribute to providing accurate, compassionate service while continuing to learn and grow within the organization.

Cons

Some employees have reported challenges with management communication or consistency in leadership styles. As with many large organizations, experiences can vary by location and department. Having clear communication and a supportive manager can make a significant difference in the work
