Pros

About the best pay you can get in the medical field without a degree.

Cons

Poor management, methods that waste time and any other resource you can think of, have to bargain for time off to suit the needs of the department, forced to take weekdays off at the beginning of the month, but have to sacrifice weekends or vacation time to make up for it. Horrible pay raises - 2% across the board ANNUALLY. No respect or appreciation for hard work. Enforcement of policies is very inconsistent. There are people who should've been fired for various reasons LONG ago, but continue to blatantly violate policies and they get away with it.

Pros

If you have nothing else, and know someone who works there, as long as you don't fail the drug test you WILL get hired. The pay and benefits aren't bad and you get lots of overtime.

Cons

You're required to work overtime half the month, and the other half, they tell you you can't work. The job itself isn't terrible, though it is boring, it's mostly the management that makes it a bad place to work. Senior level executives turn over every couple years, and as a result upper and mid-level management carve out little empires in which they do whatever they want. Managerial communication is nil, the concept of employee morale is actively ignored, and in general, you're treated like a serf.

Pros

Literal nothing now so mind blown

Cons

Negative 100000 stars had to claim one star to leave this review!! Worked with Pharmerica for over a year as a collections analyst. Never missed a day. never got a single write up. I’m a single mom with an auto immune disorder of three small children and was fired illegally last week over a system that’s been proved very flawed “VERINT” within three hours of the 3rd party system being introduced. Verint shows “idling” after 60 seconds of no mouse clicks or keyboard strokes. We make calls all day for our job from the time we hit call listen to the rings, the customers VM and us leaving our scripted recording it’s over a minute long = idle on verint. 50 calls a day = 50 minutes of untrue “idling”! The supervisors Explained to us all via a teams meet we’d get a warning then fired. No warning for myself and 4 others just made us join a meeting as soon as we clocked in last Thursday morning to fire me. I’m now at risk of losing everything—- my home, my car, and my children over being wrongfully Terminated over this EXTREMELY flawed system. If this is how they treat their employees with pharmerica whom commit their everyday lives to they won’t hesitate to screw over the people they provide medications to. look elsewhere to a company that takes care of their employees AND customers!! They are doing things very illegally behind the scenes with breaking labor laws!! Having the employees now lock their computers to trick verint into doing its job bc it proved flawed to them after they fired us? Not to mention Making us do updates during lunch times unpaid illegally. Lawsuits are coming pharmerica it’s very sad what you’ve done to your employees!! -myself and the others that were illegally fired WITH NO WARNING NO DISCIPLINARY ACTION LIKE PROMISED! Imagine having a whole family to take care of and you’re fired one day randomly over a very flawed system to lose everything in your entirety over nothing you did wrong!
