Pros

They have a very generous vacation plan with up to 3 weeks off when you walk in the door. Perfect to use for finding another job.

Cons

The only reason to work at CVS would be as a stop gap measure until you find something else. No room for growth, salaries and pay raises are sub-par for a technical position. Don't waste your time and if you're already working at CVS, Get Out. Morale is very low and most raises are in the zero to 25 cent range depending on who you know, CVS is a multi-billion dollar company so there is no excuse for this. Especially, since they just spent almost 69 billion dollars for Aetna Insurance. One of their pharmacy plants in Pennsylvania tried to unionize but the employees voted it down by over two to one. Why? Mostly because of scare tactics by the company and employees going against their own self interests and or fearful. CVS did gave all of their employees a 1% raise because of the recent tax cut. I think most employees would've preferred a bonus because they won't be around long enough to enjoy that 1%.

Pros

Reasons to work as a CVS pharmacist -You're homeless/starving to death -You're debt in up to your eyeballs with no other job opportunities -You actually like punishment (you hate yourself/sadist) -You hate going to the bathroom and eating food. -You enjoy running a 300+ Rx/day pharmacy by yourself. But....they do give you a paycheck that is on par with the rest of the industry.

Cons

-No staffing (I mean, these poor techs are paid 12/hr; can we not have more than 2 at a time?) -No meal breaks -PTO is garbage (1 week after a year of service) -No staffing.... - Management/company absolutely does not care about its employees. Everything they do revolves around their stockholders bottom-line. The second it becomes profitable to put someone on the street, they're gone. -Equipment is outdated/ barely functional. System occasionally crashes for 2-6 hours at a time, where you have to apologize to customers the entire time while not getting anything done...so that you can get yelled at by the PIC for not staying until midnight trying to catch up. -Constantly being threatened with losing your already painful job if you don't perform on metrics/make calls. -Being forced to apologize for your crap-company's lack of staffing because someone has came back for the third time and their Rx is still not ready. -"One pharmacy call....One pharmacy call....Lane 1.... One pharmacy call..."

Pros

If you do not like co-workers, you work completely alone.

Cons

Pay is minimal for NP duties, let alone you are expected to act as receptionist, MA, RN, janitor, office manager. The benefits are terrible. You have to be on-call for clinics outside your county with possible 1-2 hour commute. All management and CVS in general cares about are numbers and money. Employees are completely disposable to them. You are pressure to see patients you know cannot be served by MC, charge them a visit, and then refer out to Urgent Care, PCP, etc. You will see 30-60 patients in the busy times with zero help. Managers play favorites. No flow to the day, can have non-stop patients for three hours and then no one rest of day,
