Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to start a thread on Graduate Intern offers for those graduating with their PharmD's in 2016. I'm currently a pre-graduate intern for Walmart for approximately a year and Walmart just sent out graduate intern offers a few days ago and I just wanted to inquire about the overall process.
For those of you that are wondering, this year Walmart did something a little bit different. They basically sent out an email to all their current pre-graduate pharmacy interns to fill out (basically name, email address, phone number,basic contact into, NO LOCATION PREFERENCES THOUGH!) and fast forward approximately, three weeks offers were sent out (September 2015).
Of course, the offer is good for 14 days and there is no exception in trying to get an extension. The offer entails a pay rate, as a graduate intern, of $30.00 /hr(or however much it is, 50% RPh pay?????) and it is expected that you become licensed within 120 days of your graduation date, by which you will get another offer letter that outlines your compensation as an RPh. The catch is that, there is no "set" number of hours or where your "home store" is or if you will be a floater. They only indicate the district that you are assigned to and the market/district manager.
So basically, my question is (for the recent walmart pharmacy interns that have recently graduated) is how long will it take for us find out all this vague information (eg. FT or PT, where your home store is, floater/staff Rph)?
Sincerely,
