So i was just wondering whether or not anyone has some advice. i recently took a job as a trainee dispenser at a pharmacy and was really looking forward to it. I’ve just finished my first week and honestly it’s been awful. half the team is leaving or has already left. there’s another trainee dispenser who started back in january who seems burnt out and there’s 2 more trainees starting in 2 weeks time.
This being said the amount of things i was expected to know was insane. i got shown once how to use the columbus system ( i think that’s what it’s called) and then got told to serve customers. I’ve genuinely never had such panic. i was put in a place where i was asked for medical advice constantly and ofc i have no idea because it’s my first week and my manager seems so annoyed im coming to ask. Everytime i ask for help i get eye rolls and honestly no one seems willing to help. im also working full time hours so everyday i go in to people being annoyed by my presence. no one seems to really want to train me and they keep saying how the pharmacy is shambles. i dont if this is relevant but this is boots pharmacy. they want me to start my online courses but at this point im thinking to just work another month.
i’m now stuck between wanting to leave because it’s genuinely taking a toll on me mentally. Or whether it gets better and i should just stick it through and that eventually it does get better. if i did quit is it okay to just give a 2 week notice? just wondering if anyone’s had similar experiences and what they did ? does it get better or should i just leave ?
