Civica Rx

This company is very unorganized. I was hired as a Manufacturing Technician, but I was cleaning since day one. Management is not on the same page at all, but they are trying. So I give them a C+ for effort. One of the biggest problems there is the people that they hired to do the job with no care in the world and no work ethics. They're only there for a paycheck. 
In their mission statement they talked about "patient first",  but  that   is yet to be seen. Paycheck first is the motto and it's a shame.
There, I worked in Manufacturing on the second shift with some of the worst people that you will ever met, LAZY and INCOMPETENT.  A handful of individuals tried to lead the team, but they had no leadership skills, lack of intelligence, unjust, and not a team player. They walked around daily not working while others performed the bulk of the work on a regular. Sometimes they passed on inaccurate informations to the team because they're clueless.
Also a lot of favoritism is going on there. The place is crazy. They don't follow any rules or regulations, especially when management is not around. Management is fully aware of that, but nothing is being done about it. It's as if they are setting you up for failure. 
I personally became a target when I refused to perform other people's work. Those who were leaving work early, hiding in the bathroom or sitting in their vehicles for hours.
With no education, those poor folks are under the assumption that they'll be making $35 to $40 an hour once they start running. As a result, they are playing the system trying to be the teacher's pets. At times, they play the victims and lie on other employees to management  and HR trying to secure their spots. 
I find it very funny that Management and HR even have the time to entertain such a  sickening behavior. PITIFUL.




What is the best part of working at the company?
The part of working at Civica is doing one of the things I love most making sure bottles , ,gloves, and uniforms are stocked daily and especially my best cleaning the roomed, setting the cots, and the cleaning solutions, and cleaning the ceiling, walls, and floors  I loved it. I loved working with everyone because god knows I am a team worker.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is when certain team members chooses the same person they want to work with all the time, we should work with every team member get to know all our working with them . I believe together we stand as a team divided we fall. Don’t watch a team member making a mistake while you not correcting them and helping them do better then go report to your boss, your wrong not them . Because nobody is perfect in this world  we are here to help our team mates, watching them make mistakes then reporting.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I always love  my job work environment, and the diversity of cultures. Because I love to work with people with all sorts of backgrounds. That is one of the reasons  I worked in the nursing field for 25 years because I love working and serving people with all diversity.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Coming in to work and  change into our uniform, and wash  our hands then go to the hub making sure we are up to date with our SOL then go to daily huddle  meeting  and we get our assignments, and we go back to the hub to wait for the worksheet to be printed out, and go set the cot with the supplies, and buckets then fill out the forms then put the solutions in the buckets. Then take cots to areas to start cleaning.

Civica prides itself on having "best place to work" as a value but does nothing to promote it. Leadership consistently sets unrealistic milestones for employees while subsequently ignoring feedback, keeping a "hands off" approach on developing a good working culture, and repeating the same mistakes through a lack of documenting learned lessons.

There is zero growth opportunity - there has been no effort to create a reasonable career framework where employees can be promoted OR move laterally within the company. Some made up "rules" are enforced on some employees but not others.

There are one or two individuals who clearly have all of the say in decisions (and have a record of being cold and aggressive) whether it has anything to do with them or not. Most employees fear bringing concerns up because they are not valued and/or fear repercussions.

COMMUNICATION is a consistent area for improvement here. Employees are left in the dark about key decisions, company structure adjustments, general timeline updates, etc. 

This company had a lot of good potential and a great mission, but unfortunately the lack of good leadership has caused its downfall in employee satisfaction. At the end of the day, a mission is only a statement - employers need to live that that mission and support employees along the way. I hope the feedback from former employees will cause some change.

I worked in Accounting at Civica Rx. It was the worst experience I have ever had. The training was lackluster and non-existent. When I expressed my concerns regarding my training, it was as ignored. The girl who trained me did not give me the correct information  and the minute I made a mistake, I was blamed and reprimanded. I believe I was being taught incorrect information on purpose. The way they process invoices is so time consuming and they need a better way to do this. All invoices needed approval by the personnel who ordered or was in charge of the order, and trying to contact these people were difficult at best. Trying to get an invoice approved for entry and/or payment was like pulling teeth. I spent the majority of my work day reaching out to staff for invoice approvals. And any help from the Purchasing department was a job by itself.  They didn't do their jobs and because of this, I couldn’t do my job. I really hope they make the process better for the next person who works in Accounting at Civica Rx.  And my trainee needs better training herself and learn how to treat people. 

Civica RX is a great place to work for those who want to be part of a company making a real impact in the pharmaceutical industry. The organization is deeply committed to its mission of reducing drug shortages and improving patient access to essential medications, which gives employees a strong sense of purpose. The company fosters a collaborative work environment where teams work closely together, and leadership is supportive of career growth. There are plenty of opportunities to learn, develop, and contribute, especially as the company continues to expand its operations and refine its manufacturing processes. However, as a fast-growing startup, things move quickly, and priorities can shift, requiring adaptability and problem-solving. For those who thrive in a dynamic, evolving environment, Civica RX offers an exciting opportunity to be part of something meaningful while growing professionally.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Positive relationships you will build. Clean, and nice building in new startup. Feeling initially good about the mission statement.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of top management to interact with the the challenges incurred, and the understand/time needed to be invested. Lack of appreciation to overcoming challenges and pitching in to support others. Taking your extra work effort for granted, and not being active in coaching before too late. Job function and duties sometimes not clear.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Challenging at times. Sometimes lack of direction. Culture seems to be turning tide downward.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Phones, emails, text, training, projects, interaction with many for info, balancing to-do list, and solving issues.

Don't get fooled by the mission and false promises.  They may appear to be trying to do something positive but the pace at which they are moving is unsustainable,  creating high turnover, and causing quality issues.  

You'll be in meetings all day with little time to dedicate towards the tasks you'll be held accountable for and left out to dry when you need support.  If you can't cut it, they will just "resource load" (hire) a contractor in your place.

There is no room for advancement or concern for your work-life balance.  Management does not live the company values nor promote them with the workforce.  They continue to set the wrong example and use blinders when they don't agree.  They're happy to promote a hostile working environment by ignoring employee complaints.  Managers who are overtly confrontational get promoted and rewarded while those who challenge the status quo are demoted and/or discarded.

Don't waste your time.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Was a great company in the beginning when it was about “non-profit” business. Now it’s all about profit and the good old boys club. Secret firings for misconduct by the head of HR of which the board knew of and dismissed. Horrible dishonest company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You’re expected to do everything all at once 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was great but quickly turned when the very top HR person was brought in. A misogynistic good old boys club player. The entire top echelon has worked for ages together getting very rich and powerful. They are not about caring for the people. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Putting out fires the entire day and night. No support.

I loved working with my colleagues and co-workers. Since I cannot give specifics on this platform, I will say this; there a few phenomenal leaders that did an amazing job of coaching, collaborating and teaching at Civica. Unfortunately, I did not get to interact with them much as they were not part of my team. I think the poor leadership within the smaller teams has definitely slowed the progress of the company. People don't leave bad companies, they leave bad leaders. Civica has an inspiring mission, but the world may not get to see its greatness because of some bad apples within.  

I've been working at Civica for a while now, and it has been an incredible experience. While we're still a start-up and face the usual growing pains, the people here make it all worth it. The team is collaborative, supportive, and truly invested in each other's success. The team really believes in Civica's mission of putting patients first.

As a start-up, things move quickly, and challenges are inevitable, but it's also a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow. The leadership is transparent, open to feedback, and genuinely cares about making improvements to ensure both individual and company success.

If you're looking for a job where you can make a real impact and work alongside talented, driven people, this is the place for you. I'm excited to be a part of the journey and can't wait to see what the future holds!
