Members don't see this ad.

So I am a new grad and have received offers from both CVS and Walgreens. They pay is similar (CVS is only offering about $600 more per year than Wags). I know its hard to compare these two companies since they are so similar, but does anyone have any overall, general views on each of the companies? I also know that it depends on what district you are in, who your pharmacy supervisor is, how busy the area is, etc but I would just like to get a general idea.

Also does anyone know the benefit packages of the two companies and if one is better?

Both of them serve as good training companies for a better job. Flip a coin and go do your time at one of them while gaining experience. Look for a new position in two years and let another newbie get burned out.

The above poster is right. Flip a coin.
