Dislikes

As a Pharmacist, I never expected that I would experience this kind of work culture, 1. No respect of Pharmacist, being treated like a sales person. 2. Assistants order to the Pharmacist in order to complete the work rather than helping. 3. Lots of sale pressure, in generic categories medicine, their own private label products, and other FMCG products like baby diapers, Baby food, and other non pharmaceutical products. 4. They produce Sale targets specially in generic and private labels product, as a pharmacist you can't alter all the medicines with generic categories, even these generic categories medicines have same cost as compared to prescribed brands, some times it costs high. We have to perform push sale which is very irritating to the customers. 4. Most disgusting is that the we already have the prescribed medicines but we say no to the customers in order to achieve generic targets, because there is no option, as customer wants prescribed medicines only. 5. They call it pharmacy, but 50% products are non pharmaceutical products like hair oil , shampoo, deodrant, hair colour and many more things. 6. Push sale , their own private label products that you have to push every customers to buy, Like floor cleaner, toilets cleaner, wipes soaps they call it value deals , diabetics juice, blood sugar monitor to every diabetics patients which is not clinically proven, and other non pharamaceuticals 7. Pharmacist has to do home deliveries, racks cleaning, brooming , mopping, stock auditing, all expiry workouts, reminder calling, stock reconciliation, like every labour works, 8. After all of these You will realise that ur under paid , very unsatisfactory. I think they just need our licence, no need of this profession. There are many more things that I can't mentioned it.
