Worst experience of my life. I'm currently interviewing for other jobs to get out of there. Full time more than a year

Anonymous employee

Pros

If you work hard enough and keep at it you can get promoted but has to be right timing and do well on test and interviews. Because of my promotion I have been able to interview and get job offers for better paying jobs and upper management jobs. Also, they have decent benefits if you are full time.

Cons

Bad, verbally abusive management. Poor communication. They play favorites. People who do less than you get a raise or promoted because of who they know and suck up to. District Managers are incompetent too. Company doesn't care about employees. All they care about is money. Too much work and way understaffed. Oh and they will lie to you and about you about whatever they can get away with.

Pros

If you like going home everyday hating your life this is the place to be!

Cons

If you make over minimum wage, watch out the company is trying to eliminate every position that makes a livable wage! Most shifts only have 2 employees trying to do the work of 10 people, soon those employees will be replaced with cardboard cutouts! And let's not even get started on how CVS has almost single handedly completely destroyed the entire pharmacist profession!

Pros

Co workers are supportive and nice, if you need a snack you don't have far to go bc you are in a store, that's about it!

Cons

Poor management, low pay, hours, no support, all about the money, no use of clinical knowledge well, lots of secretary duties, multiple job duties in one but not paid for all the duties! No help, you work alone, be ready to get cussed out by patients who don't get antibiotics! High turnover!! You could loose your job if your NPS score is low!! On call is required!! And weekends!!
