Great benefits, but cliques can make you feel isolated

Pros

Great benefits. Fair pay. Honest policies.

Cons

This company has its cliques and you will feel isolated if you don't blend in as expected. If you find yourself not quite fitting in, it is best to find another company to work for.

Toxic environment outweighs the few kind colleagues

Business outlook

Pros

There are a few nice people.

Cons

Literally had to quit out of anxiety because of this job. It is the worst job I have ever had, I would not recommend working here if you are a Pharm Tech. You barely know your supervisor and get thrown around as if you aren't a real person. I worked with some really kind people, but the few who were not made the social aspect at certain sites unbearable. Not the way a job paying you $20 an hour should make you feel.
