Pros
Strong balance sheet. This company is'nt going away anytime soon.
Cons
As a long term retail store manager that has worked for 5 different companies during my career, I can say in all honesty that this is the worst company I have ever worked for. Why? Several reasons: 1. Plan on working 12-15 hours a day and six days in a normal week. During a seasonal change week you can plan on working 80 to 100 hours. The only way you can get your job done without working this hard is if you are lucky enough to run a 24 hours store. Your staff on a given day will consist of you and maybe two other associates. At night you may only have one. 2. Plan on doing everything yourself. Unload the truck. Put out the truck. Clean up the truck. Throw away the trash. Clean the restroom. Ring the customers. Do the POGs. Set the ad. Take down the ad. Management functions??? Do them on the fly if you have anytime left and if you dont...well just work more hours to get them done. 3. Any manager that likes CVS is someone that was promoted from within that has nothing to compare it against. Those people are cool-aid drinkers. DONT DRINK THE COOL-AID. RUN AND RUN FAST. If you're over 40 you will be burned out in the first year...
