It's A Dangerous Place

Pros

The dream that this company started with WAS beautiful. Please understand that this review is out of the interest of future job seekers and written because I once had another former employee ask if they should take this job and I made the mistake of saying yes and it was a terrible experience for her as well as countless others. That remorse is what haunted me about this company still.

Cons

I held off writing a review for a long time because I didn't want to hinder my former coworkers from having quality people hired to work with. Now that they're all gone, I pray that anyone considering working here chooses otherwise. #1 Lack of Morality SALES **The company has consistently placed individuals in leadership on the sales team who bypass lead distribution and hand off leads behind closed doors to their "favorite" sales reps. I was privy to this information and when confronted, they explained it was because they were trying to achieve sales goals. New sales reps, BEWARE! **Be prepared to sell products that are incomplete, non-functioning. There's a reason why customers and their sales reps rarely interact after a sale, it's because the customers are rarely happy with the results. You're encouraged to promise the moon, but can hardly provide them New Jersey. SUCCESS/SUPPORT **The company has on frequent occasion, offered bonuses for achieving seemingly insurmountable goals. Through long hours and hard work, success reps would achieve these goals only to have the company balk at their offer and try to settle for lesser compensation. This happened at least twice if not 3 times while I was working there alone PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT **The company will frequently "launch" a product and push to make sales. They'll collect money from customers and then not be able to provide the product because it was never finished. The company won't reach back out to those customers and offer a refund, but instead will wait and hope they'll forget the charges. This is pure theft, and if it weren't that so many pharmacy owners are technologically uneducated about web based products, they'd probably have been shut down by the BBB. #2 Cookie Cutter Environment Be prepared to read from scripts. There are only a handful of people who can voice their opinion and have action taken. The reasoning is that the CEO will change direction so quickly that to your face, he'll say one thing and then be undermined by the rest of the executive team for any number of reasons. Vice versa, the executive team will make a decision and then have that trumped by the CEO. Their solution is to accept ideas, and then ignore them while shaking your hand and saying thank you at the same time. #3 No Growth Opportunities The room for growth at a start up should be plentiful, yet they continue to be force to hire management from external sources. This again is directly related to their unwillingness to hear the highly informed voice of the employee. You WILL be hired over, as it has happened consistently. The squeeky wheel gets replaced.

Pros

New’ish Macs and open feel space. some fun colleagues to hang with. easy location and easy parking.

Cons

Don’t believe the hype. Our customers don’t really understand the product and the consensus is that we (that are selling it) don’t even think it’s good for them. I guess its a job. read the reviews on this here closely. The recent “5 star” reviews seem contrived. Notice how excited these guys are and how this is the most perfect place ever. also note that all those are all written around the same time and all marked “helpful” more than any of the others. seems fishy. This is good representation of how our managment works - they prop themselves up and pat themselves on the back. Management switches strategy a lot. theres a Lack of transparency. Kinda a bro culture. Need to be in with the ceo to have any real say. Let’s just say strettttttttch goals.

Pros

It is a paying job with a free over-crowded parking lot and located at a good location. When considering Digital Pharmacist discuss employee turnover and speak with tenured employees. You should be aware of who you speak with, just like the company representative that responded to a review "you have to be in with the CEO and your manager". I wouldn't suggest speaking with them. I wished before moving forward I would have spoken to several tenured employees. Please read the cons sections regarding reviews and Digital Pharmacist responses. I labeled all reviews except one section which is mentioned over and over. If you don't find anything you don't disagree with in the cons section, Digital Pharmacist may be a great fit for you. I just want you to remember once your in the clique, you have to stay in clique or you'll be unemployed.

Cons

Review: Proud to work here “after all we’re evaluated and compensated based on our clients’ success” Employees are compensated by signing up the account and collecting the first three months payments and sales evaluations are based on quota attainment, there is no residual income, this statement is untrue. That statement is commonly used on sales calls. The calls are not monitored for Quality Assurance, yet are recorded. That is why I have had customers ask me why reviews they are getting in their trackable dashboard are not being posted on their facebook and website like the sales rep told them when explaining the social media portion. Facebook does not allow companies to go in, use someone else's facebook account and post a review to that pharmacies facebook business page. I personally do not think misleading a customer is focusing on the customer’s success, this is just one example of what I would hear daily from customers. Review: Sales “Amazing hires over the last 6-months which has transformed this startup to a real player in the industry.” The new leadership and employees have backgrounds at Web.com / Yodle. These employees now run the sales team plus customer success, and almost every new hire is from that type of sweatshop mentality. They are happy to be away from the minimal base pay. I have been told the script they now use is an adapted version of the Yodle / Mainstreet Hub process. Check out the reviews for overly aggressive sales reps, that is what will be next for Digital Pharmacist reviews online if it continues. Review: Several “management encourages positive reviews” No, I was never been asked to go to Glassdoor to place a review online. Although, when your manager or the executive team discusses with you how these reviews are affecting getting new talent in all departments and we really need more talent to make things better for you, you are indirectly being encouraged to write reviews. Look at the recent influx of reviews, coincidence or discussions that slightly encourage reviews from management? These happy reviews in their cons section say things like “You don't make it here if you aren't competent” or “Disgruntled former employees motivated to write false reviews. Also, current employees that are unhappy. I'm just unsure why they are here and don't look elsewhere for employment." That doesn’t sound like a very supportive or family type culture described in the positive reviews. It is quite a coincidence that the employees cons are so involved with other reviews vs their own opinions. (Light Bulb) Review: “steer clear” look at the companies response “We hope you resign tomorrow and go on fulfill your dreams elsewhere. You are clearly very, very unhappy at Digital Pharmacist. You do not have to work here and we don't want you to be here if it doesn't make you happy.” plus "You have to be "in with the CEO' to get ahead". Yes you do - welcome to business! You better be in with the CEO and you better be in with your manager, if you want to get ahead. You do that by meeting or exceeding goals and contributing great ideas and positive energy." I can tell you the the representative that wrote that has not been with the company very long. When I left there wasn’t a that position was open. I know for a fact this reeks of the temperament of the CEO and / or new leadership. This response speaks for how the company values their employees, and how they are not open to taking any feedback they do not like.
