Business Outlook

Pros

Great team environment, very supportive managers, challenging work. The department I was in was the Industry relations and rebates department. All I can say is that the people are absolutely wonderful. The job is challenging, but everyone works as a team and helps you learn the ropes. Definitely the best place I have worked for so far.

Cons

Promotion can be hard to come by within the department as many people have been there a long time, but lots of room to move to other departments

Pros

You can give input into buisness decisions. When I worked there we all voted on a new uniform to wear. Everyone is also very pleasent. When I worked there everyone was like a huge family. I was sixteen at the time and the manager was my honorary work mom. I wish I still worked there. If you get an opportunity to work here definilty take it. I have worked at several places but working at CVS is one of the foundest memories I have.

Cons

CVS does not have many hours for part time staff. This could have also been because of the fact that I was a full-time high school student. The pay is about minimum wage but the work is not that hard.
