Yes they do! You have to have a good LOR to be competitive and eligible for interviews. As for persons i would go for whoever knows you the best and can evaluate and gauge your work ethics. So that can be profs, supervisors, employers, etc. But NOT family members or neighbours.
If they didn't, why on earth would you have to get them?
A work supervisor, pharmacist, or professor is the typical author of a LOR for pharmacy school applicants.

Usually a math and/or science professor is recommended for the letters of reference and another from someone outside of school.
The ideal LORs are pharmacist/health science professors.
LORs are very important in the application process. I got one from biology professor and 2 pharmacists. Basically a science teacher, a pharmacist, and an employer will do.
