Geritom Medical

Geritom Medical is a non-retail pharmacy that caters specifically to facilities that care for vulnerable adults. This means that a typical pharmacy technician position will not be customer facing and that the primary goal is to fill cycling facility medications for their patients, as well as fill PRNs, new RXs, and non-cycling prescriptions to deliver directly to the facilities in a timely matter.

Typical day at work:
For a pharm tech, we get to work, find our stations near unusable with the amount of homes piled on top, attend a short standing meeting on how we can absolutely meet an unobtainable goal if we just work harder, and then we spend too much time during the day trying to track down the drugs we need. And the prepack machine breaks at some point. However, we will be laughing a lot while doing it so there's that. If you work in literally any other department, I hear that the workload more manageable, or at least has less pressure directly from the VP.

What I believed I learned:
You will learn a lot in this job. It teaches and certifies its technicians on site and the pharmacists are fantastic at making sure everyone is complying with state regulations. There are a ton of opportunities to learn new skills, such as compounding, prescription intake, training, MMO processing, and adding and pulling RXs from MMOs. 

Management: 
Middle management is, surprisingly, fantastic. The pharmacists and lead pharmacists are easy to work with and always willing to answer questions and help out. Leads and supervisors actively encourage questions and will always be able to help or direct you to someone who can. Upper management, however, is "my way or the highway" and does not listen to middle management feedback or take into account that we are humans with limits and burnout. Unfortunately, upper management is also the micromanaging type and will involve itself with everything. Any problems with the work itself is mostly upper management implemented. You cannot ask the VP for anything directly and if you do, you'd better make sure he's in a good mood or he will deny it just because. 

Culture:
Really fun. The whole place is filled with amazing people who like to laugh and are fun to work with. There's a lot of turnover because the position requires attention to detail and compliance of state and federal laws, and techs work under the pharmacists' licenses so this is taken VERY seriously. Overall, most people stay for the culture. It's a small company so everyone is at least aware of each other.

Hardest part of the job:
Keeping up with the unrealistic goals and keeping your mouth shut when upper management comes up with a brilliant and efficient idea that just makes the workspaces overwhelming, overcrowded, and likely to lead to missing houses.

Most enjoyable part of the job:
The coworkers 

The culture at Geritom is second to none! The entire company is a team-based atmosphere all working towards shared goals. Management expects the best out of you, but is quick to reward and call out high performers. I enjoy the challenges of my position, the autonomy to practice pharmacy I am given and the buy-in and support from all team members. This is a WORKPLACE, I would not recommend if you are not ready and willing to put in the work it takes to be successful. They are slower to change and adapt to increased workload compared to other places I have been. Communication is key and it's not the most transparent place I've ever worked. That being said, job functions and descriptions are clearly defined for staff and expectations are set frequently.

The owners and upper management do things like quarterly lunches, prize giveaways and appropriately themed days/weeks to keep things engaging and fun.

Working here often feels more like being back in high school than in a professional setting. Social cliques, lunch groups, and favoritism seem to take priority over work ethic. Many employees focus more on friendships and gossip than the responsibilities of the job, while those who work hard and stay to themselves are often overlooked and underappreciated.

There’s a clear pattern of people following the crowd—if one person in a group doesn’t speak to someone, others follow suit. Unfortunately, this behavior isn’t limited to the techs—it extends to the pharmacists as well, making the work environment feel cold and unwelcoming.

Support is inconsistent and seems to depend on popularity, not performance. If you’re coming in expecting recognition for hard work, this may not be the place for you. What’s often valued most is being social and agreeable, not being efficient or dependable.

This workplace truly stands out as exceptional due to the wonderful environment it provides for its employees. Undoubtedly, it has exceeded my expectations and is undoubtedly the most enjoyable job I have ever experienced. There is not a single thing to complain about— the camaraderie among colleagues is simply remarkable, with everyone being so pleasant and supportive. Moreover, the management is incredibly accommodating, always ready to assist when unexpected situations arise. In my honest opinion, it is safe to say that this is by far the most favorable and gratifying work setting I have ever been a part of. The level of employee support here is unparalleled; the team’s positivity, friendliness, and unity truly stand out, making it a workplace where everyone is cared for and appreciated consistently. Undoubtedly, it is an absolute joy to be part of this amazing team.

All my coworkers are awesome super nice and supportive for the most part. Management is all over the place. If they notice you are a hard worker you will be exploited. The company seems to be taking  more work but the pharmacy can’t keep up. Outside management has been howling at the pharmacy to pick it up, to do more but yet won’t allow anyone to do overtime. The hours are not flexible unless you are one of the favorites. You will get discriminated if you are not full time. The pay is horrible and almost impossible to request a raise even with yearly reviews. People who have been working here for years make less than the new hires. You do however get rewarded for being a good worker with more responsibilities and workloads with no additional pay!  You are basically a manager without the tittle or pay how fun!

The work culture leaves much to be desired. If you’re not part of the inner circle, there’s little support in terms of training or learning new skills. While the job duties themselves are relatively straightforward, interpersonal dynamics often make the work environment challenging. Advancement and fair treatment seem to depend heavily on favoritism and social alignment rather than performance.

There is a noticeable lack of leadership and organizational structure, and priorities often appear skewed—personal relationships seem to take precedence over operational efficiency, such as timely medication fulfillment. Work-life balance is difficult to achieve unless you’re among management’s preferred staff. Additionally, the environment is plagued by excessive gossip and unprofessional communication.

I have the privilege of working alongside a remarkable team of individuals who consistently demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting their colleagues across all departments within our pharmacy. The collaborative spirit within our group is truly unparalleled, as each member is dedicated to investing not only their time but also their invaluable expertise and support to ensure everyone's success. Furthermore, our management exemplifies genuine care and appreciation towards their staff by recognizing and rewarding both achievements and innovative ideas. This inclusive approach, including the distribution of gift cards and hosting quarterly lunches, fosters a positive work environment where every individual feels valued and motivated to contribute their best.

Awesome people work here! It’s a small company who value their employees. There are also many opportunities to get involved in different projects to help contribute to 
 company success or new initiatives. It’s a low stress environment, closed-door pharmacy. Technicians process all scripts and take priority on phone calls and billing unless the calls require clinical judgment or documentation for a Rx. Wide variety of shifts and ability to take off work when requested for most part. Half of your shifts will be mid-shift (10:30am to 7pm) and the others will vary from as early as 7am to as late as 3:30pm start times. Most pharmacists do not work weekends or holidays, which is great! Overall, wonderful place to work. 

Not to many people in this world can say this, but I enjoy going to my job every day. I love knowing that my job consists on maintaining or improving our clientele's quality of life. 
I work with an amazing group of people who are more than willing to invest their time and energy to help out fellow co-workers in any department of our pharmacy.
Our management really shows they care by acknowledging our accomplishments as well as our ideas for improvements in areas of our pharmacy with gift cards and quarterly lunches. 
You really feel like a big family at Geritom Medical.

During my time at the small business, I delved deeply into understanding the critical significance of its daily operations. One vital aspect that stood out to me was the necessity of maintaining efficiency and staying abreast of tasks to ensure smooth progress. Engaging with customers to address their individual requirements and preferences was a particularly invigorating experience, especially when assisting them with items such as leg bags, drainage bags, diabetic products, and more. Moreover, the unique charm of the workplace was amplified by its intimate atmosphere, where familial and friendly relationships characterized interactions among the majority of the company's personnel.
