Decent Benefits and Good Coworkers, but Poor Leadership and Limited Growth
Pros
The hospital coverage and insurance (which include free medications) are strong benefits. I have worked with great coworkers, and many employees who genuinely care about helping patients and providing great patient service.
Cons
Favoritism in the pharmacy hurts morale and fairness. Gossip contributes to an unprofessional environment, and micromanagement makes it difficult to work independently. Since the current interim pharmacy manager took over, the department has become much more disciplinary, with a heavy focus on write-ups, even when employees are sick and provide a doctor’s note, which shows a lack of empathy toward employees. Opportunities for advancement appear limited, and the internal hiring process lacks communication, with some applications sitting for months without any update. It is also frustrating to see people hired based on personal connections or preference rather than qualifications, especially when qualified and hardworking employees are overlooked. The HMO insurance plan can also be frustrating, with long wait times and limited access to a primary care physician
