This is my personal opinion and experience. I've worked for Walgreens for almost 5 years, and have friends who have worked for other large chain pharmacies. Walgreens pay scales vary from city to city, taking into account cost of living. Raises are given periodically based upon length of service, and for passing the CPTE. I've found that my pay is either level with or better than that of my friends working at other pharmacies with similar qualifications and experience.
yes I love my job at walgreens. honestly and I am a pharmacy tech. they are fair, pay is ok, and they work with your hours, they really push customer service. but who knows what is going to happen with all the changes. * with REWIRING * for the growth of the company

They make a decent living. The average salary for a pharmacy technician in Indiana is about $32000 / year.
Make a good plan.
Pharmacy technician programs can be found from many different resources. Some good online resources for pharmacy technician programs include several college websites such as Chaffey and Boston Reed College.
According to http://www.collegegrad.com/careers/proft99.shtml, the 2007 mean income of a technician was $27,560. You can use this degree for a pharmacy technician.
A pharmacy technician must attend the same school as any other person to become a pharmacist. Depending on your state, you will probably have to take a couple years of basic classes (pre-requisits to pharmacy school) and then enrol in the actual pharmacist program. The degree required by most states is a PharmD. Some of the good Pharma Institutes in India are: 1. Al-Ameen College of Pharmacy, Bangalore 2. Birla Instittue of Technology, Mesra 3. Lovely Professional university
The Walgreens coupons you received should be good at the pharmacy. However, you may want to check the expiration date and the fine print on the coupon.
Working under the supervision of a pharmacist, pharmacy technicians fill prescriptions in a hospital or other healthcare setting, or in a retail pharmacy. Pharmacy technician jobs also involve customer service tasks, such as taking payments, answering phones and processing insurance claims.
A good place to find a pharmacy technician job is to look for job listings or internship available at the college or university that someone is attending. If there are no opportunities found in this manner, newspaper advertisements and government organizations that help a person looking for work are also wonderful places to continue a person's job hunt.
Pharmacy technician lessons are lessons for those who want to become a pharmacist technician within their lifetime since its a good job that can pay people in high cash and lessons are offered all around the world.
The only place that I can think of is vitamin world. You can also try one of many pharmacy chains, such as CVS , Walgreens, and Rite Aid. They usually have a good selection and are often running some kind of sale.
There sure is. http://www.coyneamerican.edu/programs/pharmacy-technician will give you a good over view on what you need to take and who to contact if your interested.
With a good degree of self-discipline and ambition you can acquire a Pharmacy Technician Certification through an on-line course. The top three organizations in the U.S to offer a course are the 'Ultimate Medical Academy', 'South University' and 'U.S Career Institute'.
