Pros

The patients are wonderful patient and caring. The individual contributors do care about things. Used to be a great place to work.

Cons

PTO policy is deceitful. Though it claims to have a generous PTO policy the ops department went from 2 people per 20 workers are allowed off to now 1 per 20 are allowed on a single day. This includes 3 independent teams that do not overlap calls), was told at one point that a child injury or sickness was considered unpaid leave because it wasn’t planned by management. While management (3 total on the ops side) can take time off whenever they want. Professionalism and favoritism: huge issue in this company. This company basically agrees with management even if it results in a hostile working environment for their workers. That it’s your “perception” of the situation. Management will quite literally gang up on people. They will hire people highly unsuited for jobs based on who they like. Professionalism is out the door expect your personal life to be on the table, being spoken about behind your back, and also just general behavior from management that Mimics high school like behavior. Racist behavior: Chinese lottery, eye rolling toward bipoc and other minority reps for the same questions that white reps ask, and overall just racist behaviors that are consistent. All ops management except for 1 member are white. Disregard for patients needs: requests for patient education for LGBTQIA+ and also those diagnosed needs outlined with the dsm-5 adults/kids was ignored multiple times even though this company handles both mental health high level of population within both minority groups. Was told that pronouns aren’t important for patients and educating ourselves on the topic don’t important. No expediting scripts: if the patient is not worth enough then the pharmacies cannot expedite drugs even if it’s the companies fault the patient is unable to get the rx. Data issues: constant fight to get clarity to see what the pharmacies have since the company is a third party results in SEVERE delays that are dangerous for the patients. Told to just “deal with it” due to internal processes that stop patient advocates to transfer patients directly to the pharmacy. Patients not called: patients not worth a minimum are often not called due to a Lack of focus on those lists, and also due to the system of calls only being done once a month to lower value patients. Resulting in patients not getting meds. Management double standard: management can’t take time off whenever they want, they can leave early, can take their kids to the park, or make dinner randomly on the middle of the day but, workers are lectured for making coffee, taking too much time to document calls, asking for time off, told to flex every moment of we have an emergency. Bullying behavior: during 1:1 and reviews instead of showing good and bad often instead what occurs is you are only told what you’re done wrong. Management clearly on the ops side things this motivates you to do better instead of highlighting what you’ve done right or wrong. Ceo & and cfo: have no idea what’s going on. They are so far from the day to day that all of this behavior goes unchecked due to them removing themselves so much. They allow directors, managers and superiors with zero to minimal pharmacy experience to “run” this pharmacy company into the ground. A company that continues to not hit budget numbers and missing the make more and more each month. Reviews (money related): severe delays in timelines for reviews resulting in how many get bonuses being delayed

Pros

They are very vigilant about trying to "cleanse" bad reviews from this site. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to take this review down. The pay is far below average, so they WILL claim company culture is great. (It isn't.)

Cons

Terrible recruitment and onboarding process. Weeks and weeks of time wasted. Massive overkill on pre-employment testing and "homework". They also straight up lied to me. As others have said, a lot of miscommunication, and the company lies about commission payouts. Management seems to hide what’s going on.

Pros

This is a diverse company to work for. I have read some of the other reviews that complained about the employees voices not being heard, they clearly have never worked for big corporate companies. I have worked in pharmacies for big store chain companies and never had a voice or enough pay or PTO to keep any employee there for a long amount of time. I have never worked for a company where you could ask the CEO questions face to face and get answers. The PTO is very liberal and fair. The pay is also very fair. This company had to lay off department in 2020 and understandably left a bad taste in everyone's mouth because of it. I still find it unprofessional to write such harsh reviews that make others second guess this company based solely off of the mere fact that they were laid off.

Cons

I am sad that they do not match the 401k anymore. It has also been difficult to see some of the changes that has happened recently within the company that sometimes leaves me feeling uneasy. I hope that the changes lead to positive outcomes, but it definitely is not there yet. This company likes to pass the baton up and down the ladders and around and around in circles and leaves a LOT of miscommunication to happen. It is difficult passing things to a middle man that can be done more efficiently and correctly in your own department. It also causes patients to quit services because of all the miscommunication and "passing of the baton." I was also quoted a salary much higher than what it ended up being. Although the pay is still good, I was a bit turned off by it and almost did not accept the position because of it.
