My sentiments exactly. Well stated.
You are never going to win, with putting Jackie down. It seems like she does everything to give the impression of a good contributor. In addition: if she has arranged holidays for the pharmacy owners, and the owners have enjoyed their holidays: they are going to be happy to keep her. Ostensibly, it sounds like she is doing all of the right things to keep the owners and the manager happy. Don't misinterpret me: I fully understand your description.
It seems you are clouding your own feeling of being unappreciated and not receiving the recognition (both financial and your overall contribution), with the success of another individual. This is not a binary equation: your lack of a raise is not attributable to Jackie's attractive financial compensation package and other kick backs she is receiving.
The best thing to do here, based on what you have said : leave. Interview for another position. Educate yourself further in your field. Secure yourself something in advance. But just leave. This is not 2009. The job market and general economy has moved on.
My recommendation: do not "burn any bridges". Wish them all well. Shake Jackie by the hand and wish her the best for the future. You can leave happily, knowing that once you walk, she may have to re-consider how she applies her time in the work place.
BTW: you may not realise it - you quoted her real name in your description. You might want to edit that.
