Pros

They will hire someone with no pharmacy experience, and you learn a lot about a lot of different aspects of pharmacy depending on your location.

Cons

I was a supervisor in charge of 13 people and made less then $12 an hour. I was promised raise after raise and never got one. I ended up working 60+ hours due to the site's management believing that I should fill prescriptions for 40 hours and then do everything else (scheduling, reviews, payroll, prepare employee meetings/trainings, disciplinary action) on top of it while regional HR believed I should sit at my desk all day to do my administrative work. Basically I was caught in the middle of 2 different work models and getting it from both sides. Turnover was terrible at all levels- 18 pharmacists left in 3 years. 18! Some didn't even make it 6 months they couldn't stand it. I'm not even sure how many technicians came and went in that time. Going out on stress leave or to deal with some sort of omnicare inflicted anxiety disorder was a badge of honor there.

Pros

The immediate team members and supervisors are fantastic—professional, supportive, and deeply committed to accuracy and patient care. The steady workflow allows you to build strong operational proficiency and master high-volume pharmacy dynamics without direct retail customer friction.

Cons

Staffing shortages and aggressive corporate metrics frequently lead to a high-stress environment. The demand for constant speed can make the workload feel unsustainable during peak delivery cycles, making a healthy work-life balance difficult to maintain.
