Answer 1

In the Chicago market, uncertified techs start at $9 per hour and certified techs start at $10 per hour.

Answer 2

Go to CareerBuilder or Monster or Hotjobs and then click on one of the search links for the salary to find out what the range is for pharm techs.  You can then find out the averages for your area.

Answer 3

are you certified?  Walgreens pays more based on certification.  In Connecticut starting without certification is $9.75.  But that is for anyone entering the job position.  If you are already a tech they would probably raise your pay with however many years experience you have.  They will also pay for you to get certified - study materials, classes, the test itself and renewal.  I forget exactly how much of a raise certified techs get but it's over a dollar.  Periodically you get raises also.  I've been there four years and make $14.

Answer 4

usually for chain drug stores the pay will vary region to region
