Which is the better place to work as a pharm tech in your opinion? In terms of pay, job satisfaction, management etc...

Also, what about Walgreens? And Target?
 
I would say Rite Aid is the best. You won't be overwhelmed by the number of customers since it's a tinier store. I would not recommend working at Walmart--I had a friend who worked there and she said it was a nightmare because there were a lot of unruly customers. No so sure about target though. With respect to management, it just depends on who your boss is. I think pay is more or less the same in all unless you work at a private pharmacy. I heard that some private pharmacies pay more than chain stores.
 
I also forgot to mention that the environment in private pharmacies tends to be more relaxed than chain stores.
 
Walgreens or cvs. Train in a busy place so you become quick and efficient and grow tough skin

I agree. Nothing prepares for the real world better than working in a busy pharmacy.
