CVS Health reviews

- Pay Pay Pay! They expect you to start your cashiers out at Minimum wage! and once they screw you in the beginning there is no rescue! The yearly increases are PATHETIC (2%)!! the only real way to get any extra is to get promoted (6%) and even then they'll try to screw you out of pay. When you hit store management they try to screw you again and use your bonus (which isn't guaranteed) as a reason to offer you lower salary. I get that its a decision from MUCH higher up the ladder than retail management but they expect people to work hard and living/breath CVS while paying them total crap compared to other places which have you do less for more. - They don't really give a crap about how their employees feel about working there. They set up a good front with the yearly employee satisfaction survey and they do indeed implement new programs each year based on the results (which are available to ALL employees). Somehow they fail every year to address the real issues with working there, the SAME 3 or 4 questions have been the worst rated questions for YEARS and NOTHING has been done to address them. Instead they try to distract you with stupid things like letting staff decorate their break rooms and new helpful system on the Telxons for doing tedious tasks like push. Your voices are being heard, corporate just has selective hearing. - Every try to cram 10 pounds of crap into a 2 pound bag? CVS does every day. Unless your store is bringing in SERIOUS cash flow you get the joyous status of "minimum hours store" (which is almost everybody). Unless you have an all star staff (good luck getting that with the pay rates they allow) you're pretty much going to spend 50 hours a week or more at your store to get everything done on time and properly, oh and you're only going to get paid for 45 of those hours... ever. If I got paid for the hours I was expected to work over 45 in all my time as a store manager that job would be totally worth it. - Corporate will make all sorts of promises to you to get you to something undesirable. Word of advice, get that crap in writing and signed by you both. Corporate has to be the most epic liar I have ever known and if you don't have that written proof they are going to turn around and slap you in the face with it. - Think long and hard before taking on any kind of real challenge. Once you accept it, you're stuck there. If you lose the challenge you lose your job. As I said before make sure you have a written and signed plan of action for such an instance. After 9 years of loyal and dedicated service to CVS and proven ability to successfully manage stores and people they were just fine to throw me out after not being able to recover a store which would have been better off being burned and rebuilt.

Low pay You are doing the job of a full primary care office with only 2 people. in our case a CNA and the NP In FL we have CNAs which can’t draw blood, can’t help with test such as U/A, HCG, POCT lipids, POCT A1C etc High turnover so always getting called in on your on call days On call is only $5 hr and they expect you to be waiting around and ready on the “chance” of being called in The demands and expectations keep rising with not raise in pay or help. We recently increased workload from on average 22-24 pts a day to 30-40 a day. No increase in pay and again only 1 NP and 1 CNA. You are expected to walk the isles of the store and seek for patients when not busy You are expected to act as a salesman and PUSH vaccines, sleep apnea testing, b/p screening, etc… This company is clearly profit over both patients and employees. We are all looking for an escape plan but unfortunately due to lack of jobs outside of M-F some of us are stuck This job is a danger to our licenses. You are literally racing through these visits just to get a slither of your lunch and get of close to on time. It’s not safe for the patients or our licenses This company exploits NPs like I’ve never seen. Stay away!!!!
