Wish you cared about your employees as much as you do your customers

Business Outlook

Pros

Hugely in to customer service, which I love. Hugely in to health care of customers and the employees. Many programs to get and keep us healthy.

Cons

Store runs way too lean. Always new initiatives that take up more time. Expect us to be the janitor, the receiver the cashier, manager, loss prevention, keep office work caught up, service needs to be great, DM expects us to go help other stores all the time, help our pharmacies who dont have enough help and the list could go on.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great discounts, good sales, good benefits. They tell you what you want to hear and they try to keep you engaged.

Cons

Not enough time to finish projects and working with skeleton crews are tough. Wages were decreased, raises were limited and you couldn't give people what they were worth. During all the budget cuts and payroll decreases, cvs has the highest paid CEO in retail.

Just got worse and worse and still is...

Business Outlook

Pros

If you get to work at a clinic near your home. If 30 hours was full-time, but that changed due to their needs. Working 11-12 hours a day. Cleaning, mopping, preparing deposit,paperwork,mailing, checking bathrooms,Kiosk and waiting areas. Do not have to deal with other staff, insurance companies, other facilities.

Cons

Management constantly changing, PA's managing NP's, unethical managers. Requirements, hours, not allowing as hourly employees to clock in until few minutes opening despite opening requirements, clocking out late requirements. Focus is all on metrics, how many, how fast, etc., Per diem pays less than full-time despite no benefits & have to work all/far clinics despite clinic 1 mile from your home. No consistent evaluations. Turnover. No provider input on the clinics physical exterior or interiors, or anything else.
