Elevance Health - Remote Pharmacist Job -UPDATE 7/15 WAS REJECTED

[RXDOC1986]

We have discussed this before, remote work is an area I want to explore as a senior citizen. Well I applied, and after a couple of interviews, I was offered a position. Some RED flags already. The job description says "remote work, 0-3 days in-office a MONTH". Schedule was M-F 12noon to 8:30pm. Well during my second interview, the head clinical honcho, says, BTW, the schedule is 3pm to 11:30, and we might be going to a schedule of 3 days a week in-office.
Not much of a REMOTE schedule!
This is MTM, patient/physician contact and MedRec, evaluations. The department has 400 employees, pharmacists, techs, support staff.
Elavance used to be ANTHEM BC/BS, they are huuuge.
Money has not been discussed, yet. I make about $88+ an hour, don't know how low I can go!

How were you able to land an interview? I have applied to so many remote positions that I would qualify for but no one contacts me. Most of the time I am applying on the day it’s posted and I already have a good job.

You might as well stay where you are . If you only have 4 or so years before retirement and get almost $180,000 compensation, almost no one out there will match that or come close . Unless this position has above average PTO, retirement/401k, and other benefits that are unique, I’d stay where I am. Most WFH jobs will pay you $55-$65 per hour ($65 if you’re lucky ), a huge cut for you . The position itself along with the total benefits package has to be considered and I’m almost 100% sure its inferior to what you already have .

Don't know, applied online, got a response from HR within 24 hours, did HR interview, then clinical manager in 5 days. I swear, these days, it's like the lottery, nothing about us matters!

Compensation is not a major factor for me. I am working overnights, 7on-7off, most of the pay is shift differential and added pay. My base is $82, and willing to take a pay cut to get off nights!

Come to my hospital- no nights needed! do I sound desperate? hell ya - by the way- we recently hired a 60 year old - so no age discrimination here!

Thanks for the invite, going days at my hospital is always an option, but I am a bit antisocial. Dayshift here is all 8-hr shifts, plus you have to deal with a ton of egomaniacs, and seeing management all day long. I would much rather damage my health, than go through all that.
Hey, I am an OLD 63, but appreciate your hospital tipping their toes in age diversity!

You are absolutely right, I don’t know what they are looking for anymore. I do know that even moving up within the company is hard if you don’t have a good reference supporting you.

Do you guys hire someone with no hospital experience?
Lol the answer is probably no but worth a shot

our operations team definitely does - but they don't have any openings, clinical does not

Well, they didn't want me, "going a different direction" they said. No big deal, wasn't going to take the job anyway. Too many red flags, a remote job that requires you to come in 3 days a week? The job is still being advertised as "in the office 0-3 times a MONTH"
Didn't have to let them down, they broke up with me.
Will still look for remote job.

Sounds like it was for the best anyways.

Yes, everything works out for the best. I am a true believer in fate and destiny. PLUS, a possible $30-35/hr pay cut, I like to say "it's not all about the money", but not that big of a hypocrite!!
