Here in my state, and I believe in general, you don't get intern status until you have 1 year of pharmacy school under your belt. So your first year, the only positions you can work would be as a technician. I know that the job can seem tedious/you are eager to do hard pharmacist stuff, but don't take for granted the things you can pick up as a technician. If you have a reasonably cool pharmacist, ask them questions, during down times ask to watch them/explain the various duties they are doing as well.
And anywhere you go, you will have dick people to deal with. It doesn't matter if it is hospital, retail, office setting, etc. You just have to learn how to handle those situations properly to maintain your professionalism at least, even if someone else is not, and not to let those things bother you as much. Personally, my worst experiences co worker wise were in the hospital setting (one pharmacist physically grabbed me because I didn't know where something was in central fill/did nothing but bark at me the entire time I was told to spend a few hours with him on an APPE site rotational experience).
