Caremark, we care about how sick you are, and how much money is in your pocket.

Pros

There is no solid reason to enjoy working as a CSR in the company. Co-workers are nice and you can build friendships, however this applies just about anywhere.

Cons

Do the job of a pharmacist, get paid minimum wage. Rewards programs are constantly modified to ensure employees cannot get raises. There is mandatory promotions without pay raises or compensation, just additional responsibility. lack of training for a very high stress job where you in control of very serious medications for very sick people.

Pros and Cons for Part-time CVS Employees

Business Outlook

Pros

I enjoy working with the public and like working at CVS. CVS matches money put into and retirement IRA

Cons

I like working AT CVS, not FOR CVS. CVS does match your contributions to an IRA. But, for the most part, part-time employees get few benefits from this company. I was really excited when I saw a posting for scholarships for CVS employees's children - until I looked closer and it was only for full-time employees. We get no paid vacation and our employee discount is not good. I worked for Osco before CVS bought us out and we accrued vacation hours and receive a very good employee discount. CVS is just making more money off of it's employees instead of giving them a break.

Good job with the right management.

Pros

One of the things that I like most is the schedule flexibility. Whenever I needed time off, it was always given. Not sure if this is how it is at other stores but my stores management was great. The job is easy to learn and you get to deal with some fun people at times. Co-workers are great to work with; I've never been in an argument with one, been there just over a year.

Cons

The main thing that I do not like the job is the pay. Starting was 7.50 and after a year was only increased by 2% (7.65). Talked to the manager about it and apparently the .15 increase was a big deal to the people in charge. I will just say that dealing with the public is not always easy lol.
