Some days you dread the pharmacy, as a lead tech for several years now and with the company for five. I find that generally 90% of the time I have to drag myself into work. We do between 420-500 Rx/day and I have 6 technicians I manage 4 of whom have have no training except the register. They've been there between 2-7 months and my pharmacy manager's boss the district manager refuses to give me the hours to properly train them. So with my attrition rate for new hires at 70-80% since they quit do to lack of training it's just been a revolving door of new technicians who are very promising, leaving do to this unnecessary treatment. Who wants to work in a busy stressful pharmacy with no training. This all makes my job much more difficult not just because I have to take on a lot more duties but because it's very frustrating to see good people leave constantly. It's been this way for 2 1/2 years at my current store and I do t see it changing any time soon.
Used to look forward to it. I love working with people, been in the medical field for 13 years now but the company has turned into looking at the patient as a cash cow not a patient. There's an internal document that, without directly saying it, basically outlines how to make the most money off a patient they're classified as "Patients of great need". Your supposed to call them more frequently basically to get them to fill more medication. The program name just tries to sugar coat the true intention, the bottom line.
Good team of smart people, but understaffed and little to no room for advancement.
I love my job, and the people I work with
enjoyed the work and challenge. Bad management
