Is there a lot of down-time working as a pharmacy technician?

I'm at Job Corps entering the pharmacy tech field, and I get the sense the job is fairly laid back. Is my assumption correct?

The busyness of a pharmacy technician can vary based on the specific location. For instance, the two technicians at my local CVS always seem to have their hands full every time I visit.

Phil’s Answer

I have been in pharmacy 30+ years and I can tell you no matter if retail or hospital the technicians are always hustling. I would say retail usually worse than hospital. You might get lucky and find a slower location but then usually the staffing hours are adjusted down so could be worse as you have to cover everything. A good way to see would be to head down to your local retail pharmacies to see how busy the folks working there are.
