Diamond Drugs

This place is full of toxicity from all levels. If you value your mental health I would not recommend this company. The people here have no sense of teamwork and they will throw you under the bus and talk about you behind your back constantly. I found myself having to listen to people talk badly about everyone my entire shift. I hated the constant negativity. It reminded me of middle school. There is a huge problem with nepotism here. If you are related to someone you can get away with anything and everything while everyone else gets treated badly.

Management is terrible and ignorant. They use and abuse people and get away with it. Quite a few managers don't even show up half the time and they'll be gone for weeks on end leaving the toxic employees to do whatever and act however they want.

The different shift schedules make it impossible to see your family and there are many times where you'll be forced to work 12+ hours.

The benefits aren't terrible but they aren't great either. The pay is pretty bad to be honest. You can make more money working at a grocery store these days. If you're desperate and need a job then sure.

You most likely won't get hired for the position you applied for. I've experienced this myself and have heard others speak on this. They don't like to put you in positions where you know you'll be happy and thrive. They'll shove you where you will be the most miserable and they won't care when you try to talk to them about it. They will even act put out like you're asking for the world if you want to try a different position and be transferred.

If you're looking for an entry level position to grow in don't bother. The training is horrible and you'll likely never get the chance to actually learn anything of value and advance.

I could go on and on but I'll leave it with this. I never in my life worked at such an unprofessional and toxic company in my life. My mental health was completely trashed when I left, and I would rather be homeless and starving on the streets then ever work for this company again.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only benefit I can say would be the health insurance. The pay is decent, but very weighted depending on supervisors.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
In the 10 years that I worked with the company, the biggest stress inducer was being unable to get your required work done because either one: someone else wasn’t doing their work or two: technical issues that were beyond anyone’s control. Sadly, both instances end up rolling back on the packers within the company and no one else is held accountable for their negligence.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
When I first started, things were relatively laid back and most other employees would at least TRY and jump in to help where needed. Now, it’s completely backwards. I was personally told I was “doing too much” and was warned that if I didn’t dial back, there would be consequences. What workplace punishes you for actually working? Diamond does, evidently.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day included packing orders, labeling product, and shipping it out the door. Seems simple, but not when other people and factors constantly fought with you. It became even harder when the orders you need to get out the door were for a patient that was actively DYING and no one seemed to care beyond a select few, and they couldn’t process the orders or reconcile insurance claims.

Well, where do I begin? Are you over-weight and like standing around all day? This place is for you. Are you female and enjoy drama? This place is for you. Are you a competent and reasonable worker that does their job in a timely fashion? This job is not for you. If you are desperate enough to apply to this place, pray that you do not get the bossy/know-it-all/self-absorbed lady as your supervisor. She "runs" the main pharmacy, but acts like she runs the whole company. She even likes to make up her own rules that go against company policy. This is just the tip of the iceberg. It does not matter how skilled or well-educated you are, it all depends on who you know in the company. There are some individuals there that are not qualified for their positions, but got the job only because of who they know. I should clarify that it's not so much the job that is bad, it's the other employees. Many(but not all) of the employees like to stand around and chit-chat, or constantly be on their phones which slows down the employees who are actually working. As far as the dress-code goes, most employees have to wear scrubs, but it's a color-coded caste system that identifies your position on the company ladder. The wages could be better considering all of the nonsense that you have to put up with. Some of the newer employees get payed more than other employees who have been there longer only because the department has a high turn-over rate.

A lot of the more negative reviews on here would not have been "unfair" a few years ago. However, the past couple years have seen a dramatic shift in morale, culture, productivity, you name it. New leadership is coming on with new perspectives and ambitions. We are now encouraged to ask questions and affect positive change wherever possible in the entire company, not just locally. That is what I attempt to do here, now. There are multiple dedicated groups doing the same, and their efforts are bearing fruit. I started on the pharmacy floor (entry level) ten years ago and have since earned multiple degrees. Diamond met me with a promotion at each turn. I am now in a position to give back through efficiencies and intend to do just that. The company really let me determine how far I would go, and I took full advantage. I would recommend to anyone with strong ambitions to do the same.

There are a lot of perks for employees. The company tries very hard to give the employees some fun time to equalize the fast pace of the environment. A lot of these reviews are unjust and clearly wrote by someone who themselves loves the “drama” they are talking about.  There are a lot of great people. There’s some people that pretty much suck but, in my opinion the great people outweigh the others. If you have the mindset that you have a team of people with a job to get done daily and, I’m going to be part of that team then you will be rewarded.  Owners are fantastic! HR is helpful, paid Holidays, paid vacation and sick days, bonuses and we received multiple raises last year with the cost of living going up. Just remember when your considering applying here, It’s easier for someone to trash a company then it is for them to admit they were part of the problem.  Especially in today’s society of entitlement. I’ve worked here 12 years and will be here as long as I can.  

The working atmosphere is very stressful. The supervisor who thinks she knows it all is very rude towards her employees. She likes to stand around and fraternize with her employees and has her favorites. It is very upsetting that you go in to do your work but also have to pick up the slack from the ones who are standing around playing on their phones and fraternizing with their supervisor. Its stressful enough when your stuck by yourself with no help then to be expected to do their work as well for what?  So they can collect their paycheck... She has her own set of rules which she kindly makes up every day and they are not even company rules but if not followed you will be wrote up. She can't even follow her own rules so why push them on us. You will never be out on time so expect to be held an extra hour to 2 hours past your quitting time. You cant plan any family time when you never know when your getting out.

This company has been a great experience. I started of in the Pharmacy and now I am working in the Billing department. I am a 3rd party billing representative and I have worked for this department for about almost a year now. I have learned a lot of new things and I pick up on those pretty quick.  My co workers are wonderful to work with and this job is able to work around my schedule at home as well. The hardest part of the job would be to collect insurance information from facilities in regards to their patients. The thing I like about this job is that I learn something new everyday.

The only way you can get promoted at Diamond and make a wage you can live off of is if you have a connection to someone higher on the ladder than you. You are never fairly treated, and there is no consideration for employees with any amount of commitment outside of work. I was told upon hire that weekends were never required for my position, but I ended up working every other weekend without having an option. Management was terrible and showed heavy favoritism towards those who were their personal friends or family. DON'T WORK HERE.

Honestly I'm not sure why I worked here for so long, but I feel so much more free and happy now that I'm gone. In short, the management system here is absolutely horrible and the company is very disrespectful to their employees. For some reason they're quick to get rid of loyal employees who make a minor mistake, yet they keep incompetent ones on the payroll. 2/10 is my overall rating. It's not a 0/10 only because they pay was pretty fair and the benefits package was half-decent. Also they give you most major US holidays off paid which is nice.
