Pros

I've heard claims that outside the IT Service Center the company is a Utopian playground for employees. There's an on-site gym and a decent credit union at the main corporate building at least.

Cons

Rewards incompetence by promoting it up the food chain. Meetings are a constant time sink once you make it above analyst level - but don't expect to get anything done in them. Kaizen events intended to streamline processes are rarely followed through on, or affect long term change. It is entirely about who you know and whose ass you've kissed most recently when it comes to internal interviews. Positions open and are filled without ever being posted publicly, by supervisors promoting their friends and favorites.

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.
