Pros

Work from home, some flexibility. ‘Some’ being loosely used here.

Cons

This company took a STEEP downhill turn when Brightspring took over. CEO and president couldn’t care less. Running this business into the ground. No raises Insurance sucks No 401k match Made to feel incompetent when certain leaders aren’t getting what they need from you- a lot of bullying Departments are being made to be ‘enemies’ by certain ‘leadership’ Complaints to HR and leadership goes nowhere when reporting certain people for blatant bullying Forced to work multiple days in a row while adding travel on top of that as well- I’m talking you have to fulfill your immediate supervisor’s needs at all times- even if that means working the weekend to keep them out of trouble/possibly losing their job Abusive leadership and clients We just got moved to ‘discretionary’ PTO and are made to feel absolute guilt for trying to take time. The proverbial carrot is dangled in your face, but try to put in for some time off and see if it’s ‘approved’ insane. And I’m not talking about abusing the system either. Some of us are tenured and had a pretty good accrual each year- now I feel like I have to fight for it Bringing on a huge client and it’s all hands on deck… don’t dare try to ask off during this time either- even when it’s not your client. The decline is real. Everyone is expected to do the work of about 8 people. It’s exhausting. I’m tapped out. There is no ‘work/life balance’ anymore. Pharmerica feels as if they own their employees’ lives. Do yourself a favor and just don’t.

Pros

What stands out most is the organization’s clear commitment to improving long-term care pharmacy services—not just operationally, but in how care is delivered to patients. There is a strong focus on quality, patient safety, and continuous improvement, which makes the work both meaningful and impactful. Leadership is engaged and forward-thinking, with a genuine emphasis on building strong teams and empowering individuals to contribute. I’ve especially appreciated the collaborative environment and the ability to make a real difference while helping shape processes and outcomes. PharMerica is also investing in its people—creating opportunities for growth, development, and innovation across roles. For anyone looking to be part of a team that is evolving, values accountability, and is focused on delivering better care, this is a great place to build a career. Overall, a dynamic and purpose-driven organization with a strong future ahead.

Pros

One of the things that interests me most about PharMerica is the opportunity to support patients in long-term care settings while continuing to grow professionally. I appreciate that the company offers career development opportunities, educational support, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on patient care. With my background in pharmacy and customer service, I believe I can contribute to providing accurate, compassionate service while continuing to learn and grow within the organization.

Cons

Some employees have reported challenges with management communication or consistency in leadership styles. As with many large organizations, experiences can vary by location and department. Having clear communication and a supportive manager can make a significant difference in the work
