Pros

Intuitive EMR. Good coworkers are other locations you can call.

Cons

Manager is unreliable. You’re on your own. Not supported. You call/text they don’t answer and they don’t even respond. Nobody tells you the right way to do anything because training is the most inadequate training possible. Good luck! You can’t get any time off when you request it. Then they don’t even pay you your on call pay when you get called in all the time. Worst health insurance ever. Not enough CME money to actually go to any real conferences.

Incompetency must be the priority

Pros

Great place to hide and get a decent salary

Cons

The company has grown through acquisitions but has hired unskilled and unproven directors and managers who cannot create value. Their growth tactics outside of acquisitions is to copy their competitors without understanding the strategy. It's sort of a "let's try it and see what happens" mentality that almost always results in wasted resources. It appears that the only way that Senior Leadership thinks to maintain shareholder value is through layoffs of which there has been about 4 or 5 in the past 4 years. Most of the employees that have become senior management have done so with the help of management consultants of Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey or they are former employees of those firms. Managers and directors are mostly Pharmacist that don't have a clear understanding of business or finance or former management consultants that bring their arrogance and inability to develop their subordinates to the culture; turning a good working environment to a shark tank, complete with backstabbing, idea theft and healthy doses of the "blame game". I've develop several valuable initiatives that were destroyed do to politics of management and other stakeholders and because of this the customer suffered. The Retail Pharmacy Operations group culture has morphed into a team of management consultant wanna-be's who feel that the only way to be successful is to mimic their arrogance and develop the skill of appearing productive while producing a dizzying array of meaningless graphs, charts and reports and saying "yes" at every opportunity.

CVS IS THE WORST

Pros

the only pro is the experience, you will never be in a WORST place so you will learn a lot and appreciate any other job you get afterwords

Cons

very stressful job, management out of touch with the worst decision making possible, you work in a very very busy internment, with min help -if any- phone doesn't stop, 4-5 pharmacy calls at a time and all because of their stupid automated system that calls the patient 3-5 times daily, they expect you to run between stations, help patients and verify 400+ scripts with no complains whatsoever, you get busier, they reduce your tech hours. get ready to be on anti anxiety and antidepressants after just few months, it is like-slavery job. and the better pharmacist you are the more slavery work you will do
