It is a high stress, fast paced environment. The ability to adapt and to move and think quickly while maintaining excellent customer service is imperative. To be successful it is also important to not take the stressful situations personal.

What I liked

The pharmacy manager was very friendly and helpful in getting the hiring process started. She was very organized and answered back in a timely manner. Training started off easy and everyone else who works there are friendly and fun to work with. Overall positive environment and I’m thankful for the opportunity.

What I wish was different

Nothing, everything was nicely paced.

Advice

You don’t have to be licensed before getting the job! I wasn’t, and they hired me. Don’t be too nervous or shy, ask as many questions as you need. Everyone is helpful and outgoing :)

Pharmacy Technician

May - August 2019 • Liverpool, NY

What I liked

I loved seeing another side of the healthcare industry that I had not previously been exposed. I learned a lot about working in a pharmacy as well as the challenges that many patients have with affording their medications.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been able to get more hands on experience right from the beginning, but there is obviously a lot of training involved that delayed the process.

Advice

One piece of advice I have is to not be afraid to ask questions to the senior pharm techs and the pharmacists, they are always willing to help out the new employees.

Certified Pharmacy Technician

February 2018 • Akron, NY

What I liked

I love everything about my job. When I started at Rite Aid I figured I would just be like most other employees who stock shelves or help customers find what they need. However, on my first day the manager told me that I was going to be hired to work in the pharmacy! At first I was a little nervous because this requires completing a 6 month certification course which is fairly complicated, especially for someone who had no previous background about anything healthcare related. Now that I've been working their for almost three years, I have come to love it. The experience that I've obtained from this job is unmatched and the people that I work with are fantastic. It is nice to be able to learn from and work with people who are very educated in this particular field. Getting to help our customers with their prescriptions is very comforting to me!

What I wish was different

The only thing I wish I would have done different is I wish I would've found this job sooner. I was working as a pizza maker in a kitchen before this which I was not a big fan of.

Advice

I would say if I had to share one thing it would be to go into any opportunity with a blank slate. What I mean by this is you may expect to be doing one thing, but it may completely flip in another direction. For example, I thought I would just be stocking shelves, but ended up in the pharmacy. These are two very different things.

Advice

Fully understand the time commitment the boss is requiring weekly before taking a job. Especially if you are a student and will need to adjust your schedule during school. My boss assumed I would continue working nearly fulltime when school began again and refused to cut my hours. Make sure you communicate that well in your hiring meeting because some people may not understand what it means to be a university student.
