I've been working in Walgreens, and they hired me as an intern since I was doing my Pre-Pharmacy studies. They pay me $11.50 an hour. But since they cut my hours, and I'm only working one day a week, I've been looking for another job.
It seems like I may get hired at Rite Aid, but first they are going to hire me as a Pharmacy Cashier, until I get Rite Aid certified and become a tech. While I'm a Cashier, I'm going to be making minimum wage (which I believe is $7.15 or $7.25 an hour here in NY). Once I get certified, there will be an increase in pay. She also said I will have to join the Union.
Has anyone ever worked for Rite Aid, and know exactly what this increase in pay is? I'm hoping it's at least $10 an hour.
Also, do you think I should quit Walgreens and go to Rite Aid? Or should I try to wait it out a little more to see if Walgreens can give me more hours in the near future? Which is the better place to work for?
