Working at Walmart in Stanford, KY: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Stanford, KY Area

"I've worked at Walmart Pharmacy for over a year now and I have to say that it has been a nightmare the longer I'm here. Inadequate tools to learn. Baptism by fire at best. Not a very good situation considering all the risks involved. My other coworkers are great for the most part. They will help and give instructions for the most part. A few devils advocates but minimal backbiting. I would not count on this however. I just got lucky enough to get a good group of fellow techs. Pharmacist-wise is a big problem. I really enjoy a few that I work with. However I have encountered a fair amount who treat us like their grunts and abuse us for their own benefit. The pay sucks. Good advancement at first but then you get stuck. No room to grow. You're just hooked and abused. The more you know the more you bust your butt while others slack. And the managers. Very rude and unprofessional. They expect you to do tons of extra promotion and crap and expect you to keep the customer safe. No one wants immunizations shoved down their throat. They want their medicine and they want to leave. They don't want to be harassed. Customer abuse and misunderstanding is one of the worst. People will scorn at you and hate you because doctors offices make mistakes and you can't get their medicine done because of the ever multiplying regulations. You will be forced into hostile situations because of narcotics, sudaphed, syringes, wait times, insurance issues. You will take 98% of the crap when it comes to insurance issues. Even though you have nothing to do with rejections you will be forced to explain issues to genuinely confused customers who think that you are responsible for their ignorance of insurance polices and formularies. I do not recommend Walmart Pharmacy Tech jobs to anyone due to the poor working conditions and pitiful treatment of the employees."
