Does anybody know the difference between the Pharmacy Technician Trainee and Pharmacy Technician positions at CVS and if there are different requirements for these positions?
I recently graduated undergrad and decided to work in a pharmacy to gain some experience before applying to pharmacy school. I had no prior pharmacy experience when I was hired to work at CVS as a Pharmacy Technician Trainee about a year ago. Earlier this year, I took the PTCB exam and was certified hoping that it would come with a pay raise. However, I was told that there is no pay raise associated with the certification.
However my friend, who has no pharmacy experience and is not PTCB certified, was hired as a Pharmacy Technician and her hourly pay rate is higher than mine. She applied for a Pharmacy Tech Trainee position but was hired as a Pharm Tech. Is this something that's up to the pharmacy manager? I don't understand how she was hired as a Pharm Tech and is being paid more even though I'm certified and have pharmacy experience now...
Thanks for your help!
