25 yr Walmart pharmacist. all depends on your DM. had great experiences with the company up until approx. the five years. Hour cuts a not so nice DM ,layoffs affected many middle to upper management- it seems as if anyone with tenure or just capped out in pay were targeted, blood bath was relentless. the pharmacist hours have been cut managers based 80 staff have been reduced in some cases where the staff pharmacist has to find hours at other stores or use PTO to maintain hours to keep benefit

These hour cuts happened this past March 2023.
There’s more responsibilities placed on the pharmacists and techs but less hours to provide decent customer service. But yet everything you do is rated via a metric that is totally unrealistic to attain with the hours given to the pharmacy- both pharmacist as well as techs. It creates for a very unhealthy and stressful environment. Your reward is being told that didn’t meet your metrics so you are not deserving of a raise at eval time.

It all depends on your district manager. In order to clock in you have to walk all the way back of the store to clock in. They may still high your real salary from your store manager to prevent jealousy and/or retaliation. From my experience some customers know they could get a gift card easily if they complain.
