PDC Pharmacy

What is the best part of working at the company?
The assistant director who works the floor. Other than that, nothing!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not enough help! The revolving door with employees! At the time I was hired, they were replacing 3 pharmacists…now a fourth! Not including the ones they lost prior to my employment; including technicians. From what I’ve learned from my own experience, the current management team doesn’t seem to care or tries to improve the stressful working conditions (especially one in particular)! Not to mention the On-Call for full-time pharmacists, what a nightmare! Btw, if it’s your on-call w/e, there is no day off during the week prior to and after! Listen carefully when they go over details regarding on-call. In addition, there is no comprising, it’s either their way or the highway, I chose the highway! What does that say about a company that continues to lose employees! The brief time I was there, new policies implemented that didn’t help! They are always behind and/or playing catch up! To all potential employees BEWARE!!!!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful!! Never enough help!! Call offs constantly which doesn’t help the fact that you’re already working short-handed. No one is held accountable! I worked a day where there were only 3 pharmacists on duty. How can that be allowed? They give you the day off, but don’t want to pay people to cover the request.  By the way, if it doesn’t affect them, then I guess they just don’t care! Unless something happens, then they care! What hippocrates!! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I can’t say it enough….STRESSFUL!!

The corporation is very strict , they watch you with cameras , have insane Covid-19 restrictions that cause employees to become ill, water is not allowed at work stations, break room closed , you must wear a mask at all times even if you work 6 feet away form the next person and work next to a hot press. No celebration of birthdays holidays or employees motivation done here , constantly hiring new people because no one wants to stay working here. No proper training on how to do the position you were hired for , but expect you to do the work correctly. When told what to do you are either told quickly or told five different ways. There is no consistency, staff can be rude when you ask questions or when mistakes are due to poor training. You are constantly watched , favoritism is big , for employees who have been there the longest or have relatives working within the company. Manager is not quite educated on how work flow goes or proper procedures in pharmacy, yet does the training. Unpleasant place to work. 

Management is terrible, the Vice President of Operations likes to talk about all of the employees on the floor in front of others.

You have to sign off on insane policies such as: you cannot have a cellphone on you during the workday, you will allow them to search you with a long stick, your car can be searched, you aren't allowed to have a water bottle at your station, you must wear pocketless scrubs, etc...

There is zero training and zero room for advancement, they like to pile work on you for no more compensation.

Raises are barely given and if they are it's at max 2%.

Bonuses are taxed.

2 Weeks PTO & if you need time off after that it's considered a "report off".

HR is also clueless and cannot answer simple question(s).

They like writing certain people up, but others can do the same thing with no consequences.

All of this while being micromanaged under numerous cameras every day.

The ONLY positive is helping the patients.

Overall, terrible experience.

PDC Pharmacy is a very rewarding place to work! We serve group homes for Intellectually Disabled individuals who are not able to oversee their own medical care. The service we provide ensures the staff caring for these individuals have the tools needed to provide excellent care in the homes. 

The employees work together helping each other to complete the work each day so the deliveries leave on time. Some days the volume of work is very challenging, but working as a team makes this challenge easier. I think the hardest part of the job is not knowing the volume of on demand work each day will have. Thankfully, working as a team, we are able to band together to meet each challenge. The most enjoyable part of the job is the friendships developed through working together. Everyone here cares about eachother, not only as a co-worker but also as a friend.

A typical day at work involves being understaffed and stressed out from the lack of help.

Management is terrible and sits back and watches you under camera's all day long. The only good part of management is the Director of the Pharmacy, other than that all upper management is clueless.

The hardest part of the job is being understaffed and overworked for no more pay.
There are crazy rules that they expect the employees to follow (you cannot have a cellphone on you while you work, no food/drink at your station, they're allowed to search you or your vehicle, they took away the PTO from people who have worked there for years, etc...)

The most enjoyable part of the job is helping the patients, other than that there is not a single good thing about working there. They do NOT care about ANY of their employees.

They expect you to do the job of 3. The only good part is the director. He’s great. But overall, upper management has no clue what they’re doing. You’re always under surveillance because they couldn’t control their own people at the corporate site. So they punished everyone. They can’t keep staff. Corporate NEVER asks the opinion of our director who actually knows what he’s talking about. They keep everything hush hush and you get surprises sprung on you. The vice president of operations likes to act like your friend, but immediately wants to snicker behind your back. Facts. They tax you on EVERYTHING. If you get a “bonus” be prepared for it to be taxed. You can’t even get uniforms in a timely matter. Apparently they’re at the bottom of the Baltimore Harbor. 

They talk a great game and the client base is one we all want to support, but they cannot deliver on actual promises.  HR is definitely company focused and out to diminish employee empowerment in any way. Management is tone-deaf, do not entertain any suggestions and local management is actively hostile to any questions or issues. Basically cannot handle managing employees, ignores problems until they erupt. They will burn you out with their lack of appreciation, continuing removal of benefits, and general inflexibility.

This company has the worst upper management that I have ever worked for. Their turnover rate is extremely high because of the way they treat their employees. They are understaffed and have their good employees doing the job of 3 other people while picking up the slack of their lazier employees. If you try and ask for a raise they will laugh in your face. Good luck getting trained because they expect you to know everything immediately. This place will make you miserable. The only reason anyone has been there over a year is because they get paid more, and better treatment because they suck up to management. 

Boulder location has serious lack of confrontation management between employees; clear bullying, competitive nature between technicians and an overall lack of comradeship and team work surrounding the current staff. There is very little training, and often blaming between workers over arising issues due to lack of proper information and communication. I personally wouldn’t recommend working for PDC if you’re able to find another closed door environment. Upper management genuinely doesn’t care or appreciate the technicians and pharmacists who keep the company running and afloat on a daily basis. 

I have been with PDC Pharmacy since it's inception, and cannot say enough great things about this company!

Excellent benefits, PTO and flexibility if/when needed.

PDC is a closed-door pharmacy, so there is very little face-to-face interaction with customers; however, the company does allow me to foster relationships with both old and new customers at customer visits and events.

Family-like working environment where everyone truly supports each other.

If you are looking for a rewarding career in the pharmacy industry, where you are challenged yet treated with respect, look no further.
