A colleague got offered a role at Walgreens for $94k as a fresh grad. Was this just a total rip off from Walgreens or is this actually average base salary for Walgreens as a fresh grad?

When I first started at Walgreens in 2018 I was over 100k. Raises are rare at Walgreens unless they want to be a pharmacy manager then they’ll get a pay increase but as a pharmacy manager it’s not worth it. Cvs definitely pays a lot more!

Unfortunately I don’t know what their starting pay is but they always pay more than Walgreens from my experience. I heard if you want to work in Indiana there’s a 100k sign on bonus plus they’ll cover I think 25k in moving expenses. I recently saw a posting about that.

I was offered $53/hour from Walgreens in 2020 as a new grad.

That is very low for full time hours anywhere in the US.

If its in California please don't take anything less than 60.00 per hour.

I was a new grad pharmacist in 2020 as well with Walgreens in Florida and a current pharmacy manager. My starting pay was roughly $45/hr or 75K in a 64 work week, then got promoted to 80hr staff pharmacist to equate to 94K. Then once promoted to manager my salary is roughly under 109K or $50/hr. Walgreens underpays and I’m currently searching for a better paying role which may unfortunately be CVS

In FL, at the beginning of this year, Wag was offering $45/hr for new hires.

Ouch… really rewarding their “heroes” of the pandemic

Your market will heavily influence your pay. Urban areas tend to pay less due to a high demand for jobs. I’m currently at a rural Walmart in Louisiana starting full time with 118k salary. First job as a pharmacist too! The jobs are out there but be prepared to move and network.

Las Vegas Rxm. Last year salary 131k not including 14k bonus. I dont know about floater pharmacists or staff though

Las Vegas staff Rph. 118k.

As of late, my work related anxiety has reached new levels and it’s really starting to affect me mentally.
