Question
what kind of benefits do pharmacists have? as in Insurance, Paid sick leave, and paid vacation and holiday.

thank you!

Answer
Hi,Brandi!
Benefits vary depending on where you work. Most all jobs have paid sick leave,vacation,and holiday pay,medical and dental. Most offer disability insurance employer-matched 401K plans. Because of a pharmacist shortage in some areas, some employers offer a sign-on bonus. Pharmacy students can sometimes get their school loans/tuition paid if they agree to work for a company for a period of 2-3 yrs. Hope this helps, Mary
