Pros
Let's see.... where do I start? Oh - why yes there's the recognition factor. At your 5 year, 10year, and 15 year (etc.) you get a catalog and may choose a gift. The gifts are ok. The coffee is free in our spacious but over airconditioned breakroom (though one day the Pharmacy Director posted our monthly bill). PTO (personal time off) is for full time employees only but accumulates at a rapid rate and you can carry 80 hours over each year.
Cons
Management is inconsistent in enforcing rules. Certain people seem exempt from reprimand while others do what they please. The head guy here has no authority - the Pharmacy Director/Manager (mgmt. titles seem to be very flexible) has him under her thumb. One person does something stupid and everyone gets punished - they don't go to the culprit, as a result everyone is inconvenienced; restricted; admonished by MEMO. Anyone who wishes to sit down (who works in dispensing) must now get their doctor to fill out forms from HR - then HR doles out permission to use a chair. There's been only an overall 2% raise now for the past several years. For a couple years everyone got the same - so the worst of us got the same as the best of us. Now you have to meet a standard of "minimum expectations". There is no raise if you move from one department to another - though you have to apply for that job. And the worst of all this is that we are losing homes - 1 facility is dropping out every 2 weeks from here till next year - (2 so far) 12 in all I believe. Our future is bleak.
