$3 raise and 4,700 bonus as PiC
Wow, we all are getting raises.
So I guess that makes it official. Walgreens is now the ****tiest place to work in retail. Congrats, happy and healthy.

Don't you get a lump sum , though?
Yeah but the value of that is very small compared to a raise
Is this going to be a national thing in the near future? The pharmacy hours got cut for the Kroger near me a few months ago, but when I spoke to one of the pharmacists last month he said that he and his partner are still 40-hour full timers.
Yah can you elaborate a bit more. Got a screenshot of the email we can read?

2% raise isn't an actual raise, it is merely keeping help with inflation. You are making the same you did last year.
Tell that to Wags employees.
New floater here. So how are the raises divided up. What should I expect as a raise next year IF i can get a meets expectation?

Not an Email, it is now policy for our division.
Seems to be 2% across the board the past couple years. Bonus varies based on scores.
Shoot more than I was expecting
so walgreens gives no raises and no bonus? well, at least i'm not unemployed i guess
It's always been capped. Those people get a cash bonus rather than a raise.
Anyone? Assuming >$70 x <$80
The cap is based on your market, your position and the script volume of your store.
In my area , cap for staff rph is $70/hour.
What is your area?
Northern Ca (past Sacramento).
Don't new grads start in low to mid $60s per hour there? Assuming 2% raise each year, they reach the cap after just 5 years?
Nope, they start us at the highest level, in order to retain people. The downside is that you can’t get a raise unless you become a manager.

I'm yet to even speak to my new "leader."
District Leader...sounds like a position in a cult or something.
If your PIC logs into mysuccess, it shows what the salary range is in your area when they access the compensation profile for whichever employee...fyi...
Jesus!
I'm sitting here thrilled with my 2% and $3000 (prorated, started at this location in May).
You could damn near max out your 401k.

This is my first real bonus as a PIC for a whole year (graduated 2015) so i’m thrilled. It’s all about scripts and PCQ. Everything else is chump change for bonus. I’m at a high volume store. You beat scripts by 10% and hit over 90 on PCQ both halfs thats where the money is at. I know someone who got 17.7k in my distict. His store does more than mine on scripts. The max bonus at cvs I believe is around 20k.
Another quick q. Does the hourly rate change when one goes from floater to staff pharmacist? Or does the rate remain the same.
I guess it would depend on each situation. If you’re good and know the metrics and they want a solid staff at a store i’d try to get $1/hr or so for the switch.
I'm a 2017 grad though
High volume store def gets more along with beating PCQ targets. Low-mid volume we beat budget and hit targets on other categories and you still don't really get much.
My store is creeping closer and closer to high volume. 5 years ago they did 1800 a week. Two year ago it was 2500 a week. Last year 2700 a week. This year 3200 a week. I'm pretty impressed with how its grown.
actually it's losing money. you are being paid less. REAL inflation based on INDEPENDENT consumer index has an average inflation rate of 3%
Core inflation was 1.8% last year. And is forecast to be about 2.0% going forward over the next few years. Lack of inflation is actually a concern to be honest...
How Bad Is Inflation? Past, Present, Future

I am 2016 grad, and my first bonus (as pharmacist) in March of 2017 was around $700. They told me it's because I haven't been at my (current) store, nor worked as pharmacist, for all of last year, so bonus was smaller than it would be. This year, mine came out to around $2,300.
@WVUPharm2007 I've logged into MySuccess and it literally shows me nothing about bonus or review, do I need to go somewhere specifically?
And if my PIC can see in MySucess what the salary range for is in my area can I just ask him to show it to me so I can see what I'm being paid compared to others?

The store PIC has to go in and look it up. They are supposed to print it off when they give you your review. And I suppose you could ask them what the range is.
this is not a good thing
