What's a red flag in a pharmacy job application or interview? I'm applying for retail but would appreciate input from anywhere. My last retail job was crazy toxic and I didn't realize it until way too late, so I promised myself I'd ask good questions before taking a new job.

If you can, go into the store or pharmacy before you apply and try to observe how the people working their seem enthusiasm/energy wise. From my experience, if everyone in the pharmacy looks miserable (and it's not incredibly busy) there's usually a reason why. Especially in retail pharmacy you can run into bad or toxic pharmacy managers.

I agree with the comment above. I would definitely recommend going there before and seeing how people interact with one another. You can usually get a sense for whether or not it is a good working environment and what the culture is like.

Also, ask the employees how long they’ve worked for the company and how long the “newest” employee, for lack of a better term, how long that person has been employed. You should be able to get an idea of turnover. If it’s high, that’s a red flag.

I would ask if they have scheduled breaks and avoid pharmacies with drive thru.

avoid chainstores they all read from the same play book!!

“Why did the previous pharmacist leave role?”
