Good advancements, difficulty staying up to date on the company changes and gaining respect

Business Outlook

Pros

They provide good plans for insurance compensation, such as visual and medical insurace. The salary is decent and they're opportunities for advancement within the company as well.

Cons

Sometimes we aren't very educated or respected but the whole of the company. We can get lost in the amount of empoloyees CVS has at times and are not exactly up to date on what is happening to the company as a whole. Also, respect isn't a stronghold, especially starting out at the company, you have to work your way up to earn respect from team members. Also, sometimes being called into work isn't a consideration regardless of the reason time is needed off.
