Full time Pharmacy Tech in Pittsburgh and I make $16.50/hour in a retail setting. I've been doing it for over 3.5 years. I love my job but I am thinking of finding a new one because my boss had to fight the company to get me to that rate and I don't think they are going to budge much past that. Plus there is no real opportunity for growth.

I worked retail for 7 years and switched to hospital. It was a pay cut at first but I’ve gotten 2 raises since starting and haven’t been there a year.

I left retail bc they never gave me my promised pay raise after I got certified and then I found out a tech who hadn’t gotten her compounding certs yet, whom I was training was making more than me. I’m in hospital now. I started at 16.50, went to 17.15 with a promise of at least 18. New job is 20, and more opportunity for growth.

Anybody willing to share what company they work for in Chicago/Chicago land area, what they make, and whether or not they’re certified??? I’m looking for a change of pace.

Hey you guys! I have a question to ask about.
I recently put in my 2 weeks in for a new job that pay higher but I now want to be " PRN" here and not leave entirely because i actually dont mind the work that i do. I do feel stupid asking my boss if I can PRN instead though? OR who knows what he would say anyway, what do you think?

Can all technicians share if you're registered or certified and how much you're currently making? (Hospital, retail, independent, etc.) I'm transferring from retail where I'm underpaid to a Hospital trainee position and I don't know the pay range or what I should ask for. I'm registered already and this position requires it within 1yr. But I applied because I don't have Hospital experience. I want my compensation to reflect I'm already registered.
