  • Assist with the compounding of nonsterile pharmaceutical preparations including but not limited to capsules, oral liquids, topical medications, otic preparations, and medicated treats under the supervision of the managing pharmacist. Please note: Hormones and other potentially hazardous chemicals are used in nonsterile compounding
  • Consistently meet standards of accuracy and potency
  • Package and label prescriptions, including bulk medications
  • Monitor inventory levels, re-order low inventory or expiring chemicals, and receive new inventory
  • Adhere to USP guidelines as related to non-sterile compounding
  • Perform environmental monitoring and cleaning tasks as indicated in SOPs

  • You thrive in a fast-paced work environment
  • Must be able to remain in a stationary position 50% of the time.
  • Must be able to move boxes holding medications weighing up to 25lbs across the office
  • You have excellent communication skills - both written and verbal - and are a collaborative, team-player
  • You have an all-hands-on-deck attitude with an ability to remain calm and excel under pressure
  • You have the ability to learn and adapt to new processes and procedures
  • You constantly strive to “wow” clients and patients
  • You have a strong sense of ownership and accountability
  • You are scrappy and resourceful
  • You’re not afraid of wearing multiple hats - you pitch in to help the team when necessary
  • You have flexibility to work nights, weekends, and holidays
  • MUST LOVE PETS and their people!
What we offer:
  • 100% employer-paid health, dental and vision insurance for our employees, effective on the first of the month following your start date
  • Paid time off for vacation, holidays and sick time, with the ability to accrue more vacation time with increased tenure
  • Competitive starting wages with the opportunity for rapid career growth, promotion, and wage increases
  • Company Stock Options
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits, dependent care, HSA and FSA
  • Employer-paid short and long-term disability leave, parental leave, and life insurance
  • 401k with $300/year match
  • Referral bonus payouts of up to $1,000 for a successful referral
  • Human and pet wellness benefits, including $650/year allowance for routine pet care through Wagmo
  • Discounts on many items through Perkspot
  • And more!
