Pros

The collaboration with the MD offices to get the patients the medications that they need. The teamwork among the co-workers is amazing. We we're always there to help each other.

Cons

Management in this place was terrible. The supervisors we're very condescending and treated us like children. We we're micromanaged only to achieve the quotas, not to deliver excellent customer service.
