PHARMACY 4 LESS

I started at Pharmacy 4 Less part time after school and it was a great start to my career. 

My job was in the aged care section looking after the Webster packs that were used at 20 different nursing homes/ hostels with roughly 1,000 beds. I assisted in data entry of medication charts and making changes to the Webster packs as needed, writing up delivery notes and liaising with Doctors and nurses over the phone and via fax to completed medication changes. 

I learned how to multi task and speak in a professional manner on the phone. 

The owners weren't in often as they owned many stores but they offered me a trainee ship which was very beneficial to me only just leaving school. 

I was the same age as a few of the staff that I worked with and got along with them well and often saw them outside of work. 

The hardest part of the job was being so young with a lot of responsibilities, even though my work was checked by a pharmacist errors cannot be made in medication.

I enjoyed learning learning a lot about pharmacy and medication.

The worst job I have ever had. The managers daughter got fired from her job so she hired her and the nightmare began. After most staff complained about her daughter the manager rang HR and told them a couple of us had resigned so they advertised our jobs and then after hiring new people tried to get rid of us. Once HR discovered she had lied staff were hired back but they allowed her to stay and aggressively bully staff daily. I was even doing a cert 2 in pharmacy but she refused to let me do work experience to get my S2/S3 even though I worked there and its a requirement???? Thank goodness I now work for a reputable pharmacy.

Your average day at this pharmacy would be putting away orders, serving customers on the floor and also on the tills, and general tidying up with the store and its stock. I learned a lot of things in this job that I will carry through the rest of my life. The team they have at this pharmacy is incredible and really got me through some of the not so great days -- including lower management, hirer management on the other hand are a completely different story. Despite that I dont regret working a day in this job.

Stingy owners who give the minimum, management is all over the place, roster is not flexible due to horrible hires and management, you can be standing up to 8 hours a day, if your a guy do not apply as its predominantly woman working here so they turn you into a forklift and expect you to do everything, job gets extremely repetitive and boring overtime, my mental health has been destroyed since working here. 

I was enjoying to work at the Pharmacy 4 Less. Friendly and nice co workers and management supported me a lot and taught how to mange the processes at the Pharmacy. I believed we provided great service and satisfied majority of requirements of our customers. As a result we had a lot of regular customers who chose our pharmacy among a several pharmacies at that area.

long hours with little breaks. unfairly paid (below minimum wage) toxic work environment, with managers having extra high unrealistic expectations from high school students. pharmacist were friendly but owners were micromanagers, who refused to pay proper wages. overall, really boring, terrible pay, not a job i would recommend. was employed for 2 years and very glad to get out.

I had mental health issues and I felt that they didn't care enough about my or other peoples welfare if you didn't sook up to them. They didn't provide me with enough training to thrive in the environment and accused me of things that were NOT true. I never have felt more embarrassed in my life. I liked helping people and when I wouldn't get the most money out of the customer I was made to feel stupid. 10/10 would NOT recommend.

Head office refused to pay bills and basically ran the place into the ground. Weeks would go by before API  account would come off hold. Months would go by, sometimes over 6 Months until vitamin companies were paid and an order would come in. So embarrassing. Rent would not be paid and would have centre managers threatening to lock us out.

Worked hard doing register, stock, merchandising, planagrams and invoicing. Time went quick learnt lots and enjoyed the work.

Managements communication skills left alot to be desired from day 1. You never knew where u stood, when u were working or what was expected.

Other staff members were friendly and helpful.
