[Seriously Serious]

How are you making 63$/hr as an intern?

 

[lt23]

a grad intern offer gets guarantee promotion to pharmacist after licensure. You get this offer during your last year of pharmacy school. Grad intern rate is ~$30/hr. Once he is licensed, he'll get promoted to pharmacist with rate of $63/hr

How are you making 63$/hr as an intern?

That's a good offer congrats.

Is that 80 hours every 2 weeks or 70?

My friend works 7 10 hour shifts at a hospital up near great lakes and makes about $57 an hour. $61.50 is pretty good straight out of school.

They are really having a tough time getting people to move to South Texas. If you can stand living there, you'll make good money.

Do you know if the 30 hrs/week is going to be your permanent schedule, or is it likely to increase to 40 hrs/week after 6-12 months? Just wondering

 

[corey407woc]

I was told once a store opened I would be moved to 40 FT,I've been with publix for about 8 years ( worked as cashier, tech, intern) and wanted to stay with them since the quality of life is so much better compared to CVS/Walgreens. My PIC made 150 last year (120 base, 20 grand bonuses, 10 grand publix stock)

Sounds like a good deal. In my area of the southeast, Publix is probably the most desirable company to work for as a pharmacist. I was even told by a local Publix PIC that they receive so many applications whenever they post a pharmacist job opening on their website that they aren't even hiring any new grads anymore (not even if they worked for them as an intern throughout pharmacy school). Do you know if this is true, especially the part about them not hiring their interns (or hiring them very infrequently) anymore? Again, just wondering

yeah the turnover rate is very low for publix and I know multiple people who have worked all through pharmacy school and were not offered full time positions but rather prn once a month. I was actually trying to go to another district within the company and they had to many grad interns at the time and there were no positions available as of now, so I'll have to wind up transferring in the future if I want to go to an other district

Isn't that stock their version of a 401K? Not saying it doesn't count as compensation, but I don't include my employer contributions in my yearly salary - that adds ~6K per year (I forget the actual percentage to be honest)

Its different than the 401k they offer, once you become vested with the company, if you decide to quit for whatever reason that money is yours and you can do whatever you want to do with it, where a 401k you cant touch til 59 1/2 or you're penalized. There are grocery stock clerks who have been with the company for 30 + years and I don't even know how much they get based on dividends alone

 

[corey407woc]

Right but isn't the stock in lieu of a 401K or do you get the stock plus 401k with Publix matching into the 401K?

They are separate so you get both stock and matching 401k

Oh wow that is a pretty nice deal overall then.

The stock match when I was there maxed out at $750 so it is nonexistent. I don't know if that's changed as that was 4 years ago

Yes that's correct they max out at $750, $0.50 match for every dollar lol

Just out of curiosity, what are most of your friends doing who couldn't get a job other once-monthly PRN hours at Publix? Are they working FT at CVS/Walgreens (assuming they could find a job at all)?

Do you know what the $30/$60 means? I figure $60 is the hourly rate, so what does the $30 correspond to?

$30 is the grad intern rate after graduation.

Is it blowing your mind people have jobs?

Not at all. Keep in mind that 60% unemployment among new graduates still means that 40% of them will still get jobs, so of course we're going to hear about people getting jobs. Either way, the $50-$60 that pharmacists are starting out at is still nowhere near as lucrative as the $70+ an hour that my former AA school classmates are being offered (the more I think about it, the sadder and more regretful I get).

They hired me internally. I was an intern for Publix since starting pharmacy school.
