Great place to work as a student...but maybe not as a career.

Pharmacy technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They are very flexible with scheduling which is very important to me as a student as well as an active member in the community. They also create a very relaxed inviting atmosphere for employees. One thing that I found to be awesome about this company is all of the little benefits that they offer such as discount wireless service and discount tickets to theme parks.

Cons

There really isn't much available unless you are a full time employee as far as benefits are concerned. Even if you work full time hours, you do not get credit as a full time employee.

Red tape, poor corporate communication, illegal payroll practices, unsupportive management, no advancement opportunities. Frequent minor violations. Safety violations, ADA violations. Expensive, and poorly administered health plans. Employees are forced to use CVS to fill prescriptions. Arbitrary increases to prescription copays in excess of 80%. Imbalanced pay structure. Workplace that frequently violates FLSA regulations, FMLA standards, OSHA regulations.

If you want to work ninety hours a week and not be able to achieve your work load, come work for CVS.

General manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay and benefits are above normal, at least in my market.

Cons

The company has made drastic cut backs in store payroll yet is constantly increasing overall work load. All activities are scored by constant audits and computer generated reports, yet no clear plan is in place as how to accomplish all that is expected of you. Being proud of the job that you do is a thing of the past.
