Nah, hospitals are starting to offer more than retail, I’m making $160k as a hospital pharmacist. (Overnight though.)

Well that’s because you have pay differential probably. 10 hour shifts 4 days a week. Not too bad. 140k was during the pandemic. After this year, probably closer to 150k

Yeah I get differential (10%). Health insurance, child care stipend, pension for just $125 a month union dues.

12 hour shifts x 7 days straight though. But then I’m also off for 7 days straight.

No pension for retail but decent match from employer. Health insurance plan is decent. You are also based in nyc? How’s the child care stipend?

Slightly north of NYC. Its the 1199 union.

I wanna say its about $500 a month, which is not much nowadays but almost no one else offers it.

I heard some chain pharmacies offering $49/hr to entry level pharmacists. That's less than what they were offering 10 years ago. The profession is in a sad state.
