My pharmacy experience

We started work punctually at 7.30. My working environment was very pleasant. The staff was easy to work with and approachable. I developed quite a bond with my colleagues. I have learned the importance of teamwork. You cannot possibly do everything on your own. I have learned leadership , as I had to step up when other pharmacist weren’t around. The most challenging part was dealing with criticism from patients. I love what I do! Pharmacy helps me serve the community and I’m passionate about that!

Pros: The working hours were good
Cons: I had to travel over 40km to be at work.

Excellent learning curve

I enjoy working at my department, there is team work, every personnel knows what their job description is, making it more easier to supervise them. There are opportunities to better oneself. The most challenging part of it is the salary.

Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: Long traveling distance

It’s a small sized organisation but with a lack of professionalism and proper procurement.

We normally receive a very low number of specimens a day. But everyone work so well with each other and I’ve learnt a bit about management as I was placed as a temporary supervisor and what I loved the most was the team work put in by my colleagues and the only thing that was problematic was procurement for stock.

Pros: Good teamwork.
Cons: No growth.
