I have seen other threads that had this as the central theme, but many of them dated back to 2009 and beyond. I have currently been accepted into two schools, and will hopefully get accepted after my interview on Friday to another school. I work at Kroger Pharmacy as a technician where I make $8.50 an hour, but was wondering what intern pay looked like across other companies. I realize that geographical location plays a big role in this, but if people could post what interns make at certain chains that would be greatly appreciated. I do not come from a lot of money, and need to make as much as possible during school to keep my student loans down. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I was paid $14 summer after I finished my P2 year and I know P1 start at $12. And my classmates now at Publix get $15.50 as P4s. That's all I know for sure.
I'm a P1 in Chicago & am currently making $14/hour at my chain.

p3 - $14
p4 - $15
grad intern $27
new rph $53.50

if you work in a hospital around here the rates are anywhere between $18 - $24 for pharmacy tech. Rph's make less in hospital in northern nj than in retail. make about $48/hr in northern nj and about $52-53/hr for nyc hospitals. overnights at hospitals in nyc around $60 - $62/hr. these are rates for new grads. again, old info.

Yeah! I was thinking the same thing I make almost $14 an hour as a CPhT and was under the impression I would be making a little more than technician pay as an intern....

Kroger chain (Smith's) in Utah.
P1 16.50
P2 18.00
P3 Not sure yet?
Disclaimer: They pay by how many hours of experience and graduation date. I am at a 3 year school so that may be why it seems inflated.

Does any one know what Ralph's in Southern California pays its interns?
Its 0.50 higher per year now and 32 for grad intern
assistant managers are now starting at 47.5 (florida), dont know about full manager.
This doesn't include the 8-10% bonus as stock each year, bonuses, dividends, holiday pay
I just applied to a position in West Jordan Utah and they offered me 16.50. Seemed low to me and really strange that it hasn't changed in the last 2 years (with inflation and all). I currently live in Arizona and they start interns here at $18 ($20 second year)! So bumbed I didn't get into the school here.
$27 as a 4th year
I make $15.50 as a tech now with Fry's. I have been with the company for 5 years though. I guess I was just expecting more than a dollar raise.
100% guaranteed you will get more than a dollar.
If only you lived in Los Angeles, you could get $15/hr at McDonalds. Why work at Kroger?
well for some form of update for the Fall 2015 : P1 at Walgreens running at $13 hr in Kansas : I was told for P2 / P3 it would go up $1. Apparently P4 varies in retail tremendously
Does anyone know if the pay rate for Kroger is negotiable or what percent of the rph salary the pharmacy grad intern rate is?
It's not negotiable.
