SMITH DRUG COMPANY

What is the best part of working at the company?
Room for advancement, moved up quick, generous raise in no time, working alongside experienced and intelligent individuals. Definitely one of my favorite jobs.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Meeting strict deadlines due to high demand for product. Mandatory overtime once you are full hire from temp. This was a little stressful but was not hard to adjust to.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast paced, working alongside experienced, hard working people with a wide diversity of personalities.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It was all about a healthy balance of quality and quantity. I really enjoyed working hard and helping to get us all home sooner.

Smith Drug was built in 1859. The oldest Pharmacy in Texas.  However in 2008 it disbanded.  It was a sad day for all of McKinney, Texas.  There was once a soda fountain inside where all the towns people gathered. It was once the only Pharmacy around for miles.

People would come in and tell me about all the happenings that transpired throughout the years. The people were amazing and so was the pharmacy. 

It was a very enjoyable place to work. I was able to compound old remedies that doctors prescribed for cough.  People from other states came in to get this remedy.  It really worked, if you had a bad cough.  We compounded creams too. 

The pharmacy was very family oriented.  We all worked as a team. 

The hardest part was when Smith Drug closed.  We all lost a part of our family.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Benefits- 401K, insurance, paid holidays and PTO.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management and VPs, after continuous discussions, about not communicating,  continue to make important decisions and make changes within the company without communicating to the employees that these changes affect!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
No longer a team effort which has caused experienced employees to leave this once wonderful corporation before it completely crumbles. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Doing the best I can do with what I have to work with, mainly reconciling, correcting, amending, adjusting.

Make sure you ask a lot of detailed questions at the interview and take everything they say with a grain of salt. The work environment between employees and between shifts is toxic, and management does nothing about it. They stress wanting there employees to WANT to come to work, and 99% of them do NOT. Also, there is very, VERY little cross training in the multiple work areas and you do NOT receive a pay difference for the more physical jobs, or the jobs that require more personal accountability. Management is a lot of talk and very little action. On the plus side, if you can keep your head down and do your job and be a YES person, you will get your raises and make good money. Do not look to be able to switch shifts though.

This place doesn't care what gender you are, what ethnicity you are or how you look. If you show hard work and dedication they will have your back 100 percent.  I started here 6 years ago as a young man with very little knowledge of automation. They took a chance on me and I worked as hard as I could. I'm now the maintenance supervisor and love to come to work every day. This place has made me a better worker, a better father and shown me that no matter who you are, with hard work you can succeed. This is the best place in the world to work. Great benefits, great PTO and even company matching. Thank you to JM Smith Corp for choosing me 6 years ago. Here's to many more 

what used to be decent about the job has long since left with the change in management and COVID has enabled them to use even more excuses to be rotten to their employees. 

competitive pay is a joke and only applies to get into the door at best.

but hey, once youre broken down to be a mindless drone they give a pizza party to 'show appriciation' while you only earn a 25 cent raise 

the job in of itself isnt a problem

What is the best part of working at the company?

Poor, not a lot of people are happy

Although the job offers a more relaxed work environment compared to other locations, the absence of effective communication can pose significant challenges at times. While annual gift bags may be appreciated, salary increases would be a more substantial reward. If an individual can adapt to this situation, the job can be relatively pleasant. However, the quality of management varies, with some managers demonstrating exceptional leadership while others exhibit poor management skills.

Controlled climate, 1st shift has Weekends Off, 2nd shift has Friday and Saturday Off.

Working inside a distribution center using the Vo-Collect system to determine product orders. Operating a forklift and cherry-picker to move whole pallet orders for customer orders. Staging product at the shipping dock to loaded later in shift. Maintain clear and clean working area at end of shift. I worked on 2nd shift, was usually an 7-10 hour shift. Good starting pay as as temp, then went up when promoted to permanent full time. Good people in management.
