Pros
The Louisville office was close to home. Tampa based VP allowed me to lead my team without too much interference. I worked with some of the most intelligent men and women. Luckily I work or have worked with these same individuals since we all chose to leave Pharmerica. All advancing in their careers.
Kontras
VPs and some in the C level suite set a tone of cut throat management. It was common place for the CEO to walk past employees and not acknowledge their presence verbally or through eye contact. The use of the F bomb, screaming and threats during management meetings was common place. My VP provided good leadership and I learned a great deal. Unfortunately my direct manager could be a tyrant threatening my direct reports over the phone without my knowledge. It was not uncommon for vacations to be canceled days or hours before planned approved leave. This sort of behavior in a pharmacy corporation can cause mistakes that can harm or kill a pateint. Most people do not believe my stories of working here but they are all true. Many of the same leaders remain with this company.
