Pros

The compensation is great and everyone seems to be friendly.

Cons

The micro management there is suffocating. No room for making mistakes which in any job will happen as that is how we learn. Having opinions, suggestions and thinking outside the box is not very welcomed. In short, they would like total and complete obedience with absolutely no expressions of doubt or any questions challenging the management.

Very Poor Experience

Pros

It pays very well. The pharmacists and techs are friendly and they go out together sometimes, genuinely good people. Cakes for every event and every once in a while food is catered. IT team is very kind and friendly, as is shipping.

Cons

The management is verbally abusive. All of the employees fear the management, and openly discuss how crying in the bathroom is a norm and that "this is just how it is." There were many stories of employees trying to quit, getting in fights with management, management cussing and making people cry. But, every time the employes tried to quit, management would raise their pay and convince them to stay. In addition, there is no on the job training, they expect you to know everythng from the get-go, which doesnt work for everybody. Suffice it to say I am still somewhat traumatized by my experience due to the verbal abuse and intimidation used on a daily basis by management.

Thank you for this review. Management at Alphascript always appreciates feedback, whether it be positive or negative. We strive to make all employees feel as though they are a part of our culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence. This review will help us hone our employee communications in a way that supports our culture. While we appreciate this input and will certainly take these comments into consideration, we also believe this review is overstating, and perhaps even embellishing the employee experience at Alphascript. We have no expectation that a new hire will "know everything from the get-go". To the contrary, we actually expect that newly hired employees will know very little about our operations until at least 3 months into their training. For some positions, this training time-frame may be even longer. As a result, we ask that new hires make no independent decisions until we feel they are able to make decisions that support our commitment to patient safety. Further, because we treat each patient with the utmost care and professionalism, and because we go to great lengths to get every patient the crucial medications they need, our training process is rigorous and complicated. We understand that some of our newly hired employees are not up to the challenge of getting through this training. We expect, in fact, that some new hires will not make it through the initial 6 months of employment with us. But those who do are rewarded with a dynamic, always changing, and certainly rewarding, jobs with a Company that has no limits in growth and potential. Erin Stonestreet HR Director

Very Stressful

Pros

Pay is okay. Health insurance is paid for. Shifts end by 7pm Monday through Friday. No weekends. Break room snacks are good. Some of the staff are nice.

Cons

The COO does not engage with his staff. He does not smile and usually sits behind a closed door in his office. The other managers have similar dispositions and actions. No one talks to each other. The atmosphere it tense. People leave for the evening and do not say goodbye to each other or exchange any pleasantries. Do not ever make an error, no matter how small. You will rarely get anything nice said to you. The culture they talk about on their website does not exist.
