  Y'all, don't forget, pharmacy techs are not restricted to just pharmacies. You can also get jobs working at Insurance companies, PBMs and patient advocate roles. I currently work at a PBM as a prior authorization reviewer. I started as a temp 5 years ago making $18.50 and I'm now just over $23. It's a pretty sweet gig!

  I got my pharmacy license in 2018 never got national certified. Worked as a Outpatient Pharmacy Clerk for a 1.5 years and left at $30.75/hr This job was to get my foot in the door. Now I am in Inpatient Pharmacy making $37/hr with no experience what so ever. I’m so blessed! 3 months experience as a tech and counting.

  Oh my goodness, I started at 17 an hour years ago. I'm an IV tech 3. I'm blessed to say I'm closer to 40 an hour.

  ⚠️⚠️GOOD ADVICE ⚠️⚠️<br>Negotiate <br>Negotiate<br>Negotiate <br><br>Tell them exactly what you want-<br>$17-$18 to start with zero experience and no certification- no matter WHERE. &nbsp;If you are desperate then you would accept less, if NOT keep moving. I know is a process and starts from the bottom, but come on!! You guys are professionals and deserve more than that

  I started in the Air force in 1998 - 2010 ($9 - $18) then finished my Bachlor&apos;s Degree in Healthcare Management but never left the pharmacy (part time at around $18 CVS and Rite Aid) I only started making money once I became a federal employee in the inpatient pharmacy as a certified IV chemotherapy technician ($26 per hour). &nbsp;Now, I make $35 hour as a Clinical Pharmacy Technician at JBLM.

  So regarding the Walgreens PTCB class (it might depend on the state), where I&apos;m from they paid for my testing and after I passed, I was certified through my state. It was a 4 week class, 1 class a week and then the final test was right after. They paid for it all as long as I passed and I was a CPhT for all pharmacies. Like I said, not sure if it&apos;s state specific but from the people I&apos;ve talked to, it seems like it&apos;s the same all around! As for raises, I started out as a cashier at also $11.50. I was licensed within the next month, $1 raise. I soon became certified, $1 raise. I took the immunization class, $1 raise. Then we all got $1.50 raise around my 8 months. After becoming an immunizing tech, I received 2 bonuses. 1 came after 6 months, then another after a year, both $1,000, which was nice! Then, after a year and a half, they promoted me to senior technician and my pay increased another $1.50. So there are chances at raises but I&apos;m not sure you can really go above that. I ended up leaving due to poor management and increasing work load. They expected us to conform to tons of changes without much reward and it was not fun anymore. Things were falling through the cracks and everyone got increasingly more tense with everything. Management did not care and continued to comment on how the new things kept being neglected even though we were just trying to get through our shift without breaking down! There wasn&apos;t much help from anyone other than the fellow techs. On top of that, we were short staffed and all of our hours were being cut. Not enough time or people creates a toxic work environment, which is the main reason as to why I left. That, and the hospital I applied to has more opportunities for growth!

  I had previous experience as an outpatient tech, making $15/hour in SD. Moved to MN, got a position as an uncertified inpatient tech for $22/hour, got certified and now I&apos;m making $25/hour. A previous coworker left to take a position as a Controlled Substance tech at a neighboring hospital for $28/hour.

  I am currently in my Pharm tech program. After i complete my program, i will do my externship at Walgreens, while i review and take my PTCB exam. I actually plan to land a job opportunity with Walgreens because Walgreens will take me to my final destination.
