Job Description
About Us:
Park Ridge Pharmacy is an independent, family-owned pharmacy that has served the Park Ridge community for years. We know our patients by name, not by prescription number, and we’re looking for someone who wants that same kind of hands-on, neighborly pharmacy experience — not a big-box counter job.

The schedule is flexible and varies week to week, so we need someone whose availability can flex with us.
