Which retail store pays more for pharmacists?

[boyasian3]

Which retail stores pays the most for pharmacist starting out? Shoppers, Loblaws, pharmaplus, Wal-mart, anything else. Im predicting shoppers would probably pay the most, but wal - mart is busier so i duno i wish i had some accurate data.

Don't do full time. Become a floater and you will make more than double the hourly rate.

Floaters pay the most, but the lifestyle isn't for everyone.
How much you get depends on location - urban vs rural. On average, rural pharmacists make more. Not sure how much pharmacists at the stores make, but it's most likely about the market average. Somewhere roughly at 80-100K depending on experience and seniority. Think carefully though, because the department store pharmacies (mostly wal-mart) work you a bit too hard with the volume of 'scripts they go through. People go there for the cheaper dispensing fees, and I don't think you'll have too much time to counsel your patients. Unless you know someone working at those places, I don't think you're going to get accurate data. The most accurate you'd probably get is if you applied for a job there.
