I was just in a Walgreens near Boulder a few days ago and noticed that they were advertising for pharmacy assistants and didn't post their salary range, and also didn't list it even after I went to sign up online for the job. So I have to guess a lot of employers are disregarding the law. I was also disappointed when I found out there wasn't a particularly easy way to report the violation to the state. It could just be a webform that I fill out that takes 2 minutes, but there was so much overhead that I decided I didn't care enough to complete it.


If I search for job listings for Boulder, CO or Colorado, US on Walgreens' website, I get zero results.

It did pop up with New York City job listings, like this one:

https://jobs.walgreens.com/en/job/new-york/duane-reade-shift...

Which do not list the pay range, but have tiny text at the bottom that says

>To see the salary range for this position please click here: Pay Transparency Duane Reade Shift Leader .

https://jobs.walgreens.com/en/paydrsfl

And then if you search for similar positions, you get:

https://jobs.walgreens.com/en/paypht

https://jobs.walgreens.com/en/payhsrph


Check the site "walgreens.jobs", the listings are still there.

Here's a photo I took of the posting: https://i.imgur.com/jSl1Rjk.png


Oh, something must be broken with their search, or my Safari content blocker is blocking something which is breaking the search.

I found the a job listing in boulder here, which has the same pay range link as above:

https://jobs.walgreens.com/en/job/boulder/pharmacy-technicia...

But yes, per CO law, the job posting you took a picture of should also state the same pay range and benefit info (page 4).

I actually think they fixed the online version since the last time I checked - when I visited it 3 weeks ago, I remember the site staying on the "walgreens.jobs" domain for the entire visit - now it redirects to jobs.walgreens.com. I wonder if they were using an old poster from before the law came into effect, and maybe even the listings/website were old before the migration to jobs.walgreens.com - now they do include a link to the pay information, but I love how they make you copy and paste a URL instead of just directly including the info, or even making it a hyperlink.
