Pros

It was close to my house, that is really all I can think of.

Cons

You are told you are being hired permanent, but to get you in faster, they will have you go through a temp agency, then after the 4 month temporary period you will be hired. First thing when you start here, you hear from others how fast the turn over is. Every week there would be someone (or several people) that just disappears from the job and no one tells you why they are no longer there. Some do not even last 2 weeks. When you are in training and you mention any concerns they tell you not to worry, if they don't like what you are doing, they will let you know and as long as no one is calling you into the office you are fine. One day as my 4 months was coming near an end, I left work and got a phone call that they 'ended my contract'. The temp agency would not tell my why, just that PharMerica ended the contract. I was filling my quota every day, you had to make at least 72 phone calls per day and I was making over 80 per day. I never had anyone come to me and say I was doing anything wrong or that there was any problem. Another bad thing about this place is one supervisor would tell everyone to do something a certain way, then 2 days later, another supervisor from another department, sends out an email scolding everyone for doing this very thing. This happened several times in the short time I was there. There were also emails sent out to everyone from one supervisor telling everyone else not to come talk to the employees in her department, and not to be seen in their area. (The problem is often you HAD to talk to them about work) You are treated worse than little kids.

Pros

What stands out most is the organization’s clear commitment to improving long-term care pharmacy services—not just operationally, but in how care is delivered to patients. There is a strong focus on quality, patient safety, and continuous improvement, which makes the work both meaningful and impactful. Leadership is engaged and forward-thinking, with a genuine emphasis on building strong teams and empowering individuals to contribute. I’ve especially appreciated the collaborative environment and the ability to make a real difference while helping shape processes and outcomes. PharMerica is also investing in its people—creating opportunities for growth, development, and innovation across roles. For anyone looking to be part of a team that is evolving, values accountability, and is focused on delivering better care, this is a great place to build a career. Overall, a dynamic and purpose-driven organization with a strong future ahead.

Cons

Pros

Absolutely none, used to be a great company prior to going public. New executive leadership has ruined the company.

Cons

Work life balance, stress, constantly changing objectives, forces supervisors to fire team members due to performance issues while the data used is inaccurate, constantly restructuring org structure, toxic interdepartmental relationships, severe favoritism, constant micromanagement and devious business practices.
