Best Answer

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.
