Pharmacy Tech at Walmart?
Reviews/Comments from Pharmacy Techs at Walmart Comment Salary - WalMart, Pharmacy Technician is $9/Hourly. The benefits include health benefits, profit sharing, 401k, vacation time, occasional bonuses, and paid holidays. Working Conditions For most of the time you are behind a counter working. There may be times where you will need to go up front for customer service issues. Physical Requirements Standing on your feet for your entire shift is not easy. Other WalMart Job Information If you are not customer service orientated then working in a retail pharmacy is probably not for you. Comment We only have two techs in our store in Texas...YEP thats right only 2 of us. We don't get to take breaks we work 12 hour days. Only get one day off then work 3 days, then work one day off. We split the weekends between us and I make UNDER 10 an hour. Its slave labor. We are filling over 300 scripts a day. I can't afford to leave but it is KILLING me. We can't call in sick or have any time for our familys...it is aweful. I talked to Management and they really don't care. They really don't. Comment I would look for another job if you are good at being a pharmacy technician take your national exam get hired at a hospital. I worked at walmart pharmacy for six months. They are very much underpaid. My co worker were rude and nasty to customers. Go where you can have respect Comment=Texas There is no way you started out with $22.25 an hour. I have over 25 years experience, PTCB certified since 1995 and I do not make that much. Walmart starts their certified technicians at $11.25 an hour. I am way over that of course, as I have been there a long time. Don't try to tell this baloney to people that have just hired on with Walmart. They might be gullible, but I am not. Walmart DOES NOT pay their technicians that kind of starting salary. Do not believe this man.
Walmart Transfer from cashier to pharm. tech?
I got employed as a cashier on July 2012. Due to the fact that I had to leave for college, I come back to Walmart during the times I have off such as Thanksgiving break, winter break, and spring break. I am aware that there is a 6 month employment rule in one's current position before he/she can transfer to another position at Walmart. During sometime in May, I hope to transfer to the pharmacy; to gain the position as pharmacy technician. I feel that I am most qualified as I am certified and I am currently a pre-pharmacy student. However, I have not been working that long as a cashier even though I abide by Walmart's law of being employed for 6 months as a cashier. Is it possible for me to transfer from a cashier position to a pharmacy technician? Also, it seems like there would be open pharmacy technician positions since every time I walk by the pharmacy, I only see 1-2 technicians and 1 pharmacist. Thank you for your answers!!!
I work in a pharmacy as a pharmacy cashier...?
it is against the law (in the US anyway) for a cashier to be doing anything with prescriptions besides handing them out at the cash register or putting them into the computer at the drop off window. how bout you go to your employer and tell them you'll report them for having you do this, offer to settle, and use that money to go to school to be qualified to be a pharmacy tech. rite aid is putting themselves in SERIOUS legal danger if anything were to happen to anyone who received a scrip that you filled. possibly management doesn't know you're being asked to do this? i can't imagine the pharmacist is allowing this! SO SO SO illegal. in many pharmacies you can't even be behind the counter unless you're at least a tech, so the techs do the "cashiering". are you sure you aren't already a tech? that's certainly your job description in your question.
Does Walmart drug test cashiers?
Not in this day in age, in the last recent years even Wal Mart has had to be a little more laxed on it’s hiring practices (at least in my area) and typically only if you are going to be working around large sums of cash or working with or on equipment that can potentially harm you or someone else. So really the only positions that get drug tested regularly as a condition of getting hired are maintenance, and supervisor postions , automotive, Asset Protection and Garden center. Now that isn’t saying cashiers don’t get drug tested, but because they aren’t even expected to last long enough for a drug test to be necessary. Besides stockers, cashiers are the highest turnover position so there isn’t really any point to drug test someone when they may or may not be working there in 90 days. Even the equivalent of shifts leads don’t typically get drug tested unless they come under suspicion and or hurt themselves. But this may or may not be the case everywhere, being that some Wal Marts (mainly smaller ones in rural areas and the like) still operate for the most part in the old ways of Wal Mart like with the pay, and shady overtime practices etc. So to answer your question it depends on how you interview, who interviews you, how bad your store is hurting for people, and what area you are in.
Becoming a pharmacy clerk/cashier?
Good choice! Im a certified pharm tech going on 3 years, and just got into pharmacy school! I worked for CVS Pharmarcy as a part-time job in the summer, one year, then went to Wal-Mart Pharmcy part-time for the next summer, but they kept me on for 10 hours/wk during the school year. I really like the company and will probably stay with them through pharm school! A lot of these places like having college students for the summer. I was hired in a hospital pharmacy, just for the summer, last year. They understand you're a college student and can't be there full-time beyond that. If you're not certified, then usually Kroger or Wal-mart are good for entry level. It's good to not quit after the summer, b/c you can come back for your breaks! I could go on and on about how I got started as a regular clerk, lol! so I'll end it with good luck!
What department of a supermarket does a cashier fall under?
Slavery. ((though really it depends on your store, because there can be different cashiers for different settings. Like Walmart there's Front-End Cashiers, Pharmacy Cashiers, Electronics, Guns/Ammo, Garden, etc.))
