CVS Health reviews

CVS's success as a company comes from it's phamacy, the success from it's front store business comes from cutting hours and increasing demands from employees. It is impossible to complete all the task vital to running the store. Every day you're playing catch up for the week before. Although job security and pay help offset the high demand, in order to truely succeed and grow with the company you have to give up your life. You work EVERY! holiday, 50+hours a week with no breaks and 10-15min lunches even though you have to clock out for 1/2 or 1 hour lunch. There is no recognition for a job well done. CVS is an extremely stressful place to work, however, if life/work balance isn't nearly as important as job security, it is worth the hair lose.

You work with people's medications in stressful conditions because you are constantly understaffed. Aside from your immediate pharmacy supervisor, the negative respect that rains down from upper level management is disgusting. Even when are pharmacy scores are flawless we get emails about one thing or another that the district/pharmacy/area managers are not happy with. Respect doesn't exist in this company. If you couple that lack of respect from management with the way customers treat you, then you are getting it from both sides. I don't expect to get that much respect when working retail. However, we have many customers who are repeat complainers, even when nothing is wrong. They will call corporate to complain about something and corporate will give them a gift card. Talk about reinforcing behavior.
