Pros

You get to use your vacation and health benefits as soon as you start. Decent pay for what you do. We have a fancy breakroom - the nicest one I've ever seen.

Cons

Very long hours if you work 2nd shift. They will say that the shcedule is 2-11:30pm for a warehouse lead, but it's more likely 12:30 or later before you will leave the building. Do not expect to see your friends and family during the week. You will also have to work most holidays and they will threaten you with insubordination if you protest having to cover another 12 hr shift on your off day. Asking for another day off to compensate is apparently unreasonable. They are slow to replace anyone you lose from your team. We run short 2 or 3 people most of the time because it takes 2 months to hire someone. They will blame this on the recruiter. They like to spend lots of money on week long kaizens.... Here's a novel idea, how about a kaizen to fix your slow hiring process. I have two bosses that don't see eye to eye and typically communicate poorly. That leaves their entire team stuck in the middle. I thought at first this was a great company, but they are just like all the rest.

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.
