Business outlook
Pros
As a certified pharmacy technician there were a lot of responsibilities. We just didn't count pills. We helped adjudicate claims to the insurance, helped talk to customers, and overall assisting of the pharmacist. This was a great opportunity to learn about pharmacology and customer relations.
Cons
Kroger in Michigan paid minimum wage to pharmacy technicians. The only way to get an increase in wages were based on seniority and years in the company. This made it very difficult because of the difficulty of the task. Cashiers and baggers had greater opportunity for wages than a pharmacy tech. This made it very demeaning, and increased worker turnover.
