Seattle Pharmacy Relief Reviews

I was a pharmacy manager for 20 years. Ready for a change and burned out on the management position, I found Seattle Pharmacy Relief. The owner and staff have kept me employed with the hours I need and have provided various work environments in retail, out patient pharmacy, independent settings and LTC. I have also gotten to work on vaccine trials which has been unique and insightful. I have gotten to meet many more people and work in different levels of volume than I would have staying in one setting. A great learning experience. It is a nice mix and I can concentrate on being a pharmacist again as opposed to being a manager. I can set vacations and time off for myself. Howard and staff have always worked with me and I work with them to make the best set of opportunities for me and coverage for them. You don't have to accept any shift you don't want as long as you let them know as soon as possible. I have also been offered permanent job offers from a couple of the places I have temped at for SPR. A great company to try out the employment options and for the potential employers see your skills.

Excellent company. Owner is a Pharmacist who works in the field so he doesn't place unrealistic expectations on employees and he treats them with respect and understanding. All work assignments are optional, so you can choose your days off. No minimum hours required. Within a year, I had worked at countless retail locations as well as small community, hospital, LTC, and was even able to work in a vaccine research trials setting, which was unique and interesting! Everywhere I worked the clients had massive respect for the owner and his organization. Evidently, they have a history of rescuing pharmacies at a moment's notice with a very high success rate. Although the introductory pay rate was low, it was raised shortly thereafter, when I had proved my value. When I applied for my dream job, the owner wrote me a recommendation letter and made some phone calls, virtually ensuring that I got the position.
