So I've been working for an independent pharmacy since 2019 after graduation. Everything is super chill. We have 2 pharmacists on site every day and enough techs to answer the phones and walk-ins. Between me and the PIC, we verify like 300 scripts a day. What kinda sucks is the pay and benefits. I dont get 401k. Not much PTO. And currently not even 40h/week.
From what I've heard, it's terrible out there, but the pay and benefits seem better? Would it be a bad idea to weather it out for a few years in retail hell so I could repay my loans faster?
I'd like to buy my own house someday but it's unlikely if I stay here so I'm feeling a bit "stuck" right now and could use some input from other pharmacists. Thanks!
