How much is a cashier paid at CVS and Walgreens in New York City?
Asked by MNIDK!!!
I just got hired at a Duane Reade in Manhattan, New York city as a cashier. I also applied to CVS and Walgreens in recent times. I want to know the starting hourly wage CVS and Walgreens pays it cashiers so that if I receive an offer from either I will be in a better position to choose between Duane Reade and the others.

Best Answer:
NYC Walgreens start their entry level employees almost a dollar more than minimum wage at $8/hr or more, and a raise or promotion usually comes swiftly, especially since we're expanding in this market. Walgreens is also the best company by far when compared to its drug store competitors, especially Duane Reade. I don't know about CVS, but I have a feeling their hourly rates are not as standardized, as I once heard of a photo tech making $14/hr. I highly doubt such a pay rate is typical for a CVS employee, especially entry level.
