$9.50 before you take some pharmacy test (which you have one year to take after getting the job), then you will make $10.50
what do i need to do to be a pharmacis
It depends on who you work for and where you live. I began working in the pharmacy at CVS and was paid around $7.50 not being certified. When I got certified, CVS only raised my hourly wage $.25. WOO HOO.... I was pissed. So I applied to Walgreens and I started out at around $11.50 being a certified pharmacy tech and I have been there now for 2 years and I am over $12 now. I have heard that each pharmacy does have a cap as far as how much one makes but I'm not sure what it is. Also, with Walgreens, if you become a senior tech, you make more money based on the amount of prescriptions filled.
When I started in May 2007 as a pharmacy tech in Chicago I was making $10.00/hour. Now I make $13.00/hour. I am certified and have been re-certified since August 2007.
When I worked at Walgreens as a uncertified tech i made $9 an hour but after I got certified i got a $1 raise...
STARTING salary per hour is $10.75...yes, that's for a certified technician, no matter how many years experience you have and there is no negotiating it. so basically your answer is....THEY PAY JACK SH*T
5 years
Starting is $11
The wage for a pharmacy tech depends on the state you are applying in and also the demographics of the city/township. Each store is different.
Walgreens is hiring, and they have plenty of part time openings on weekends and evenings.
A certified pharmacy tech can get you Oxy
One is paid more, the other is learning. Both wear lab coats.
On average you can expect to pay $1500 per semester for pharmacy trainign.
