Pros

Getting a one hour lunch break. Not being micromanaged.

Cons

I worked here as a temp and watch out for the people who train you. The girl who trained me stole my work which made my quota go down and I ended up getting let go and pretty much banned from CVS. Can't go back as a temp or a regular employee. There were other temps there that were getting their work stolen from their trainers. People will train you and teach you the wrong thing and it will be your fault not theirs. People there will step on you and use you because you are a temp so they can fullfill thie quotas and get praise for it.

Pros

They are very flexible with the schedule allowing you to do school and work at the same time. It's a job that has some positive experiences and allows to you learn about all the different kinds of medication.

Cons

Like any job you always have those customers that you hate to see walk into the doors. Other than that nothing much
