So everyone. Where do you work and how much do you get hourly?
Most of us in retail make $65-80/hr in socal depending on job responsibility and location. Sh1ttiest BFE (can get +$10/hr 3-4h from metro, that's a difference between making $68 vs. $78).
You are welcome to come and buy a house here :-D (my usual response). I bet you aren't feeling flush after that.wow thats a lot of pay to just count pills, no wonder everyone wants to be a pharmacist and new schools are popping up everywhere

Haven't you gotten the memo? Walgreen pays the least and has a pay freeze for 2 yrs.I think those numbers are inflated for LA and OC. In the saturated LA and OC areas, you aren’t making close to 80 unless you are at kaiser. Walgreens friend of mine is at 63 dollars in LA and hasn’t gotten a raise in 2 years. Plenty of independent are underpaying at 50-60 dollar range bc of saturation and pharmacists getting burnt out by the chains. I also hard that CVS is only offering the grads 55 dollars an hour now if they want to work in OC district. I don’t know anything about working in BFE. I also hear about 65-70 for CVS and rite aid in Ventura county, but pharmacists aren’t getting their 40 hours, Around 34 hours a week now just bc stores close earlier and they get scheduled 5 hour shifts.
So yeah I think in saturated areas expect to
Struggle unless you have connections. Also, as someone else mentioned gl managing housing and cost of living

Check how much you need to get equal pay to live in SD, LA or SF.

Sucks you aren't union, CVS union staff rph around LA makes $68 and some change this yr, and $1.30 raise every year. If you aren't union, you get sh1t pay as a new grad lmao. Low ball offer is the new black coz they can and desperate new grads will take it.I graduated this year and the rate CVS offered me in OC was 62.90/hr

That’s a good offer. I am assuming that I received wrong info. I doubt you’d get 40 hours a week, from what I hear most staff and PIC in LA aren’t even getting their 40 hours. Alo, 63
an hour is not in that’s 65-80 dollar range originally quoted.
They didn't specify hours. I'm sure it wasn't 40. CVS is weird in their hours I have heard even PIC isn't 40 hours its like 37 or 36? I also didn't think it was very good considering the cost of living in southern California. I took a slightly lower offer from Walgreens in a much cheaper part of the country. They only promise 32 to start but you can get 40 if you're willing to travel a little and not be picky about what store you're in. Also if you get promoted to staff or PIC your guaranteed your 40+hrs.
