The Pharmacist is responsible for receiving, reviewing and interpreting physician's orders, dispensing medication to patients and cooperatively managing a team of Pharmacy Technicians alongside other Pharmacists.

Work is in a fast-paced environment primarily focused on compounding solid oral dose tablets and fulfilling orders for both in and out-of-state orders.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader seeking an environment that leverages technology and machinery, in addition to training and managing a team of 20-30+ technicians on any given day. Previous compounding experience is a major plus.

Pharmacists’ schedules are currently staggered to provide coverage Mon-Fri 7am-5pm and Saturdays 8am-4pm. Sundays are currently OFF. While the schedule is subject to change for this growing company, the company believes in proper work life balance and has successfully recruited pharmacists who are looking for a change in environments from retail pharmacy.

Paid lunch hour, stable hours, and a healthy work environment in addition to highly competitive compensation and fully-paid medical benefits are just some of the reasons you should consider applying to this position. The company also encourages all pharmacists to obtain out-of-state licensing where not already acquired and pays for the applicable testing and licenses.

Join our team in Elmhurst, IL - we're looking for someone who truly values and enjoys working onsite, not just tolerates it.
