Pros

Nothing. Well, except that the hiring process takes so long you have time to avoid making the mistake of accepting a position with the company.

Cons

Management is the absolute worst. They keep people in director or management roles who don't need to be leading anyone. There is no sense of culture. They don't provide any sort of training. They're a bunch of WASPy old guys who only care about the bottom line than they do their customers or their employees. The pay is some of the worst in the area. There is absolutely NO upward mobility; once you're hired into a position you'll be stuck there for the rest of your time with the company. There is no coaching done because the "leaders" don't actually know how to coach their employees; they only know how to boss them around. They keep the worst managers in their positions, even though they know there's a problem with that person. (Hint: If an ENTIRE team leaves because of their boss, there's a problem with that director and he needs to be let go.)

Pros

Treat their employees very well. Good overall benefit package.

Cons

Changed PTO policy after I started and I lost PTO hours that I had been promised at hire. Lots of meetings that could be emails.

Pros

One of the things that interests me most about PharMerica is the opportunity to support patients in long-term care settings while continuing to grow professionally. I appreciate that the company offers career development opportunities, educational support, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on patient care. With my background in pharmacy and customer service, I believe I can contribute to providing accurate, compassionate service while continuing to learn and grow within the organization.

Cons

Some employees have reported challenges with management communication or consistency in leadership styles. As with many large organizations, experiences can vary by location and department. Having clear communication and a supportive manager can make a significant difference in the work
