Pros

Excellent for dumb, below average people looking to get by in life with no goals whatsoever! Yes, you can stay in a position for DECADES! Let me repeat that... around 80 % employees have been around for several decades, most “celebrating” over 10,20,30 years in the SAME EXACT ROLE with negligible additional responsibilities.

Cons

The base on avg. is below 40% in this space. Bonuses are mere peanuts of $500 after taxes. Last year no one got any! Mediocrity and incompetence all around - I’d be surprised if the avg IQ is above 50! No one knows what the FUDGE is going on until 20 different people are copied on an email and you’ve reached the right contact. 100 different tools, mostly from Stone Age to do one job... and I still may have leftout a few. Absolute waste of money,resources,time for any given task or project. The projects essentially are issues and none of the work is challenging by any means - such an energy drain just to answer basic questions. You’re scored annually on a level from 1-5(highest) where “no one ever gets 5” ...4 is unheard of and if you get 3 you’re considered to be rocking your job... seriously??? Btw... that’s commensurate to extent of you annual increment of a mere ~3% and the last time someone heard ‘promotion’ including my extended “team” was in the last century!!! People at bottom of totem pole are treated like slaves while upper management gets plethora of benefits when all they do is forward emails without assuming responsibility... kindergarteners can do that! I’m sure they have the lowest turnover since no one ever wants leave this “paradise of incompetence”

Pros

Excellent work-life balance with flexible work arrangements in many corporate and technology teams. Collaborative and supportive culture, where colleagues are knowledgeable, approachable, and willing to help each other succeed. Strong benefits package, including competitive healthcare, retirement benefits, and wellness programs. Meaningful work with real impact, contributing to healthcare technology and services that support hospitals, pharmacies, and patients nationwide. Opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise initiatives, modern cloud technologies, and cross-functional teams while gaining exposure to complex healthcare systems.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow, as large enterprise initiatives often require approvals from multiple stakeholders, which can delay implementation. Complex organizational structure, making it challenging at times to navigate priorities, align across teams, and drive changes quickly

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.
