Pros
-The pay is pretty decent and you'll get a raise every 6 months (although not very big). -There is room to advance from a Pharmacy Tech to a Senior Pharmacy Tech and your pharmacy managers are generally supportive of your decision when you want to make the move up. -Each store generally has lots of techs and getting time off usually isn't a problem. -Upper management passes new company regulations down the line in a thought out fashion. -Management is generally easy-going and understanding. -The work environment is over-all fun (and at all my stores there has been good camaraderie), although stressful at times. -Work processes are pretty easy for the most party (although you will run into a few time-consuming things every now and then)
Cons
-Working with people can sometimes be very trying at times, but if you keep a cool head about it, you can definitely have a laugh about it with your co-workers later on. -Upper management makes decisions based on a financial mind-set and it seems like they don't care about the people as much as making money (for example, at my store, they continued to cut our hours to an unreasonably low number so that they could save money, but we could not operate with so few employees). -If you are part time, your shifts can be all over the place. Some days you might work 5 hours 10-3 and the next day you'll work 2 hours 3-5.
