So as an update -- to all the negative comments sent to my inbox and those claiming that our salary's would not last/our pharmacists would quit --- absolutely not true. In fact, one of our pharmacists picked up a lot of compounding skills and we were happy to refer him out but he has decided to stay at our place and work over time for extra cash instead while learning new skills. So in my 1 year of reflection and analysis, I really believe the market is headed for a shift here --- our employees are happy, they believe we are being fair, our work conditions are extremely better than any chain, etc. Our base pay salary is holding steady at 80k range and we've on boarded a new grad from north state at the same pay scale (again this particular individual had minimal loans). We offered a sign on bonus of 5 grand (which is more then the competition so this was a nice addition to our previous packages). And I can tell you once again we had many folks for this spot.
Our biggest issue right now is new regulations in compounding (expected regulations that is). Special licensing proposals that are being actively considered could really hurt us and we may need to make a strategic decision to simply exit the compounding sector. We would not touch salary's though in any way because of this -- we would take a profit hit. But what is else is new!
So this is my update. Flame away, but for everyone negative inbox comment there was a request for an update. So here it is. Don't like it? Then just don't respond and say negative things...and guess what the thread will just go to page 2 in a few days and it won't be there for you to see.
