What is Central Fill?

---

 Well they refer to themselves as "Technicians" so i could only think that they are Pharmacy techs. Its probably like a central pharmacy, maybe?

I used to work that place but took a job at a hospital. The OP is right on! Terrible workplace and those two managers are horrible. You just can't trust em. I'm happy elsewhere and most people are leaving. It is a burn out job with really unprofessional management. 

It is a pharmacy tech job 

HR has been here recently asking questions why it sucks to work here. The simple answer is the GM Denise. No one likes her and she is the root of all the problems here. She lies, retaliates and is a trainwreck.

There has been plenty of employee surveys that are officially filed with HR that say how and why she is so bad. Why doesn't HR read these? Read your Employee Surveys and do something.

Its a facility where Kroger stores send some maintenance type scripts to be filled, tech fill them and send them back to the stores for customer pick up. it is not a store at all. These pharmacy techs are trained just like those in the stores, but they make less money, and pay more for their benefits, and they have no pension, just a 401K.

They sound pretty hot actually..any pics?

Can a Union rep please visit us at 2270 Rickenbacker parkway please

I quit this place after three weeks of working there as a clerk.  The company straight up lied to me to get me to agree to the cut in pay I was going to have to take from my then-current job and told me I'd be getting $10.00 an hour and failed to mention that $0.50 of that was shift differential and not even for the full shift.  So I was actually making $9.50 which was more of a cut than I was willing to take (they didn't tell you about shift differential until orientation so I was under the impression that it was $10/hr PLUS the shift differential so it wasn't that much of a paycut). I was only working part time at my then-previous job and needed the full time job with the benefits.  A week after I started I found out about the actually pay rate and approached Brittney about it and explained to her that the pay they were giving me was NOT what I agreed to when I started working for them and she just shrugged and said that well, that was the pay for 2nd shift, and shooed me out of her office after telling me that she would make sure the recruiter was clearer about the pay from then on.   Which did NOTHING for me and my situation... Not just that but I was told that advancement could happen quickly through taking some tests and whatever, the thing is that they needed to train you on all the different areas... I was on manual bagging for the entire time I worked there, even when I was scheduled elsewhere they put me back to manual bagging.  If someone tried to train me on something else, I was redirected.  I was a cashless cashier and if I wanted to do that crap, I could've found someplace that would've paid me better to do it.

 

Basically, watch your back with these people.  They lie to lure you into a TERRIBLE job and then restrict any kind of upward mobility you might have even though they try to use that as a selling point for the position. 

I used to work here for 6 months and I can tell you what is said here is truth. The way this place is run shows that Krogers does not care about its workers. But the real secret is that nobody should get their prescriptions filled at any Krogers ever. you know why? Because it might go to Central Fill in Columbus. The people who work there are not the bright smiling faces you see at the store. The people who work here are freak shows with Tats and Piercings, who don't bathe and who chainsmoke on their breaks and are people who shouldn't be anywhere near your medication. Even the pharmacists are awkward and weird.

Stay away from getting a job here. What they say about Denise and Brittney are true. But for the love of God do not get your prescriptions filled at a Columbus Krogers. As someone who has worked here you do not want these people touching your meds.

It seems that Central Fill may have a bad employment atmosphere with managers who treat people unfairly without Kroger HR doing their jobs. If you feel that you have been harassed by Central Fill management staff, under certain circumstances, you can file a complaint with the state of Ohio within 180 days. The website, address, and phone number are below.

To file a claim with the OCRC, contact the nearest office below. More information about filing a claim with the OCRC can be found at the  website.  You may also check out more information at the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, Equal Opportunity Division.

Other Kroger facilities are unionized, why not you? It is because management want to maintain total control over your employment and make decisions over your employment on whatever whim they want. You have an option not to allow this to occur. One opportunity is to unionize. Here is the local Columbus UFCW website: www.ufcw1059.com

Over Labor Day, let's remember how little labor DB actually does. She badmouths JS. She badmouths HR. Why does she waste everyone's time by going after TP's old position? She has wanted out of Central Fill for years but no one will touch her not only because of her lack of ability, but also because everyone still remembers her bad behavior in Columbus. TP didn't even promote her when he had the chance. The reality is if her position was open today and she was applying for it, no one would call her back.

I can only imagine how much fatter our already obese management is going to be after Thanksgiving. They going to need super duper heavy duty chairs to keep their fat butts upright as they do nothing at their desks.

To be fair- management are the only obese people that don't work. If there was a production standard for DB and BF they would have been gone long ago.

That previous post Is ridiculous!  So sad that the employee passed away. However, her so called "best friend"

At the facility (YW), was the last one to notice, and even comment on abdominal  vehicle being in the parking lot running! However, YW, misidentified the vehicle as the.deceased's. YW commented to someone that the vehicle was a "pharmacist's",  so YW and the other employee left.  People need to quit placing blame here.its awful a dear person passed away. She is missed. However, there were many underlying issues that contributed to her passing. God Bless her and her family.

These posts have to be troll posts..... aren't they? lol

It isn't trolling. Truth is an employee passed away on premises and management didn't know for nearly a day. This management team looks down its nose at the floor staff and we all know it. No one thinks Kroger actually cares about its employees and this GM is no different.

We need to get a Union in here or our jobs will be controlled by a manager who even Columbus Kroger pushed out.

 

 

Let's be nice. It is hard for someone to go through life with no one liking them.
