Pros
-Publix offers great benefits for employees. -The group of people I worked with at my store were awesome. -I was able to realize that becoming a pharmacist is not my career of choice. -The ability to gain both knowledge and skills that I previously did not have.
Cons
-Never was given enough technician hours or additional help. I constantly felt that I needed to choose between patient safety or completing all that tasks for the day to please corporate; I chose patient safety every time. -No room for growth unless you get your PharmD degree. -Open pharmacy (when counting pills we often got interrupted by customers). -Angry & Needy customers, constantly!! It is retail, so what do you expect?! -Corporate wouldn't listen when we requested needing more help behind the counter. -I worked over 33 hours each week and never got promoted to full time; when half of the time I was already working a full time schedule. -They could do a better job of being environmentally friendly. -Hard to get time off because only a couple of technicians work in each store. -Compensation is not great for pharmacy technicians in general.
