Pros

There was nothing redeeming about this place.

Cons

Applied for a full-time pharmacy tech position, was told I was getting a full-time pharmacy tech position when I was hired, but they put me on a cash register in the pharmacy and gave me 18-20 hours a week, saying they first wanted their tech to get to know the customers. I was told I'd be doing that for a couple of weeks, then trained on the pharmacy's software and put on the schedule as a full-time tech. It never happened. There was one pharmacist and she said she didn't have time for to train. One pharmacy tech was supposed to train me, but he didn't bother. He told me to just run the front and he'd get to me when he could. I never got an account for the software they used, either. When I complained, the head pharmacist said it was HR's problem and HR said pharmacy took care of that. They hired another pharmacy tech and she got to actually be a tech rather than start out as a cashier. When I asked the HR manager about that, she said that was because the tech worked at HyVee before. When I asked about my training, I was told "What training? You're part-time. We don't hire part-time techs." When I said I was offered a full-time tech position, she said I was "misremembering things" until I pulled up the e-mail on my phone that confirmed I was hired as a pharmacy technician. Then it was, "She's certified, you're just a trainee." I said I was certified by the state to be a pharmacy tech and had provided proof of that. The next excuse was, "Well, the only open position at the time was for a cashier." Now, in the time I had been employed, there were three pharmacy techs (one part-time), one pharmacist and six cashiers. They were pulling pharmacists and pharmacy techs from other stores to cover shifts. Nobody else quit or was hired between the time I started working there and the new tech was hired. I stopped trying at that point, just ran the register and in my spare time, interviewed for new positions. Left within a month.
