Pros

Lots of vacation time and great benefits including a wellness program

Cons

Poor upper management. Make department managers look like the bad guys. Communication within this entire company is pretty much non existent. Temps were walking in the door making $2 more per hour than I was after almost 5 years with the company. You let 44 people go and gave them an option to stay with the company in another position. You know its not too great when not even a hand full of people opted to stay. The rest used it as a way to get out!!!

Pros

Flexible work arrangements with ability to work remote full-time, competitive benefits with health-care discounts and stock grants for performance. Great group of peers with other industry experience and tenure with the company.

Cons

Opportunity for better visibility to longer-term roadmap/strategy for IT alignment. Constantly changing organizational structure and reporting chains was an impediment to forming team synergies and loyalties.

Pros

Loved the teams that I worked with. Corporate culture focuses on helping to improve patient care, even for functions (like, HR, IT, Legal) that don't directly touch patients or pharmacies. Excellent leadership at the most senior level - smart, experienced and driven for success.

Cons

Regrettable decisions made to RIF in 2016 - cuts were too deep and the company will now struggle to recover. Work life balance of remaining workforce is not good. Hopefully company will be able to turn it around in a couple years.
