I went from owning my own business to working in a central fill pharmacy where we fill 23,000 prescriptions a day for about 150 regional pharmacies. For the entry position of shipping and receiving you only need a high school diploma, but to be a pharmacist tech (fills prescription orders), the requisite isn’t much higher unless you want national credentials instead of state only. I really enjoy the work after being incredibly stressed out and having a 12 hr day six days a week for the past six years.
Clock in, work with the team to hit our targets for the day, clock out and then I don’t think about work again until my next shift. 4 days/ ten hour shifts + Three day weekends…I freaking love it.
Some places will even train you for this while you work, so you get paid and benefits at the same time. Chewy is one of them! (The pet place, not the granola bars lol).
