Pros

"benefits" such as health care, vision, dental; Java City, nice cafeteria, full gym onsite, many conference room options.

Cons

Low pay scale, and difficult to increase once internal employee HR backs management and not employee; even with written documentation. Reorganizes structure every year-difficult to master changing positions/new strategies (if they are known)--also equals position eliminations annually No strategy or MBOs filtered down per year so difficult to perform job duties Poor management skills in management and senior leadership Leadership "cliques" that if you are not a part of, forget it--too much of 'kissing" up Speaking up on why disagree even about something minor = fired. Medical and pharmaceutical sides are treated as seperate companies when customer sees them as one. Lots of turnover as employees get frustrated and leave

Pros

Interesting work: nobody hears this job title without a little curiosity Independent: once you're trained you're mostly given tasks and allowed to work whatever way best suits your needs Unique: you won't find another job that does exactly this in the area Benefits: pretty standard, but kick in on day 1 Growing field: by all appearances, this is a growing field in pharmacy, so job stability isn't an issue Management: Leadership at this location strives to make this a good place to work

Cons

The hours: most technicians will work from 2:30-10 AM. The pay: rate is decent, a little less than hospital rates, a little more than retail, but in general you will be capped at 35 hours a week. Independence: while there is a lot to say about the benefits of working on your tasks alone, there is also little in the way of any real supervision. This means that all interpersonal issues devolve into a one employee's word against another, leaving management reluctant to act. Management: Leadership at this location does its best to make this a good environment to work, but they do it at the expense of holding employees accountable.
