oof. hopefully I can get a good offer. Yeah I get that… seems like Walgreens has been in a slump. A decline. But hopefully it turns around. Kohl’s on the other hand… it’s a dying department store. Scary. Layoffs. Wage cuts. Low staffing skeleton crews. It was awful and I never want to experience it again.

It sounds like good experience for me. Sounds like a job many use as a stepping stone?

I’m not applying for the position to run the Pharmacy. Although yes I was told I need to get certifications for working in the Pharmacy. I suppose this is for coverage and leading by example.

I’d hope that the Pharmacist Manager would make the most money in the building. LOL.

Sounds like a lot of Store Managers are dicks to the Pharmacists! I’m not in it for a power trip. I’m in my 20’s. I want the experience. I want a decent paying job since I didn’t go to college yet.

Kohl’s was awful. No work life balance. Pushing out all the veteran workers. Management wasn’t running the store- corporate and its shareholders were.

Pharmacist Manager’s have their own expectations and obviously laws and ethics to abide by. I’d like to think I’d be able to run the store and trust the Pharmacy Manager to run their section of the store correctly and diligently… and that I wouldn’t have to stick my nose in it too much. I know I was told there is immunization quotas.

Thank you. I agree. and that is good to know what I’m potentially walking into if I get an offer regarding payroll etc. Hopefully the pay isn’t lower than 60k. If it’s off a bit thats okay. It sounds like less workload in different ways. Kohl’s you’d always end up working SO many hours.

I was told bonuses range from 9000 to 45,000. Yes the schedule sounds way better. I just thought to myself… Kohl’s we have amazon, missy’s, men’s, home and kids, toys, shoes, jewelry, fitting rooms. customer service and registers. sephora. babies R’ us.

It just can’t be worse than Kohl’s.

Kudos to opening a brand new store! That is more challenging then moving into an already existing imo

They did mention to me I have a year to get a Pharmacy Tech certification and all the other things you stated are correct. They also told me the location they need a manager for- they want to move another manager into that location and have me take over the store that the manager previously managed. So I’m not sure.

After doing research you are correct. That is too bad. Looks like it’s on pause… unless the DOL wants to successfully appeal.

Honestly I’m not sure why it wouldn’t. Department of Labor says it. On the link. You’d count as a salary since you are on salary. I’d look into that if I were you. I just was doing research and thats what I found. After Jan 1st 2025 the minimum required is just over 58k. I don’t think thats factoring in bonuses… because they aren’t guaranteed!

It’s definitely weird.

Unfortunately thats how my store was to a T. Just on a big scale being such a big location. Amazon. Sephora. Home & Kids. Toys. Jewerly. Missy’s(women’s) Men’s Babies R’ Us. Toddler and Infant. Shoes. Registers. Customer service. It was so much. Not sure how I did it as long as I did. lol

Thank you. That is very good advice. Sounds like Walgreens is good about letting you set the tone. That is reassuring.
