Pros

There are many job opportunities in the PBM side which are better than working in the retail pharmacies.

Cons

At CVS Health, even salaried pharmacists with doctoral degrees are treated like grunt workers in a factory. Everyone's work quota is tracked by the hour every hour. One department would publicly rank each pharmacist every month, depending on their productivity metrics. And the productivity goals set by management would get higher and higher every year. Petty technicians or people with no healthcare background are often promoted to oversee pharmacists if they were the "management type" but this was based on personality, not based on actual leadership skills nor competence nor subject matter expertise. One year, I asked my supervisor 3.5 weeks in advance for 1 day of PTO for an outpatient surgery; this supervisor asked me to delay my operation if it wasn't urgent because it was inconvenient for our team's schedule that month. When I finally left this job (on good terms), I wasn't even asked for an exit interview with HR.

Pros

Work from home Great PTO

Cons

They have supervisors come in, and each supervisor sets their own standard for their team, regardless of position Had a new supervisor after three years of never being written up and never having complaints doing my job come in and set metrics that were unrealistic to essentially scare current employees away so she could rebuild the team within three months of her being my supervisor she was my fourth supervisor in this department mind you I was put on action and terminated within three months She did not care that it was near the holidays. She did not care that I dedicated every night until 9 PM and every weekend for the past two years dedicating my time to this team I’ve expressed numerous times that I was a single mom to a six-year-old and doing this was taking time away from my child, but I cared so much about my job and my position that I was willing to do it . She agreed that it was not OK and she sympathize with me only to terminate me three months later, if you’re looking for a job that cares about its employees, and the well-being of their employees look further.

Pros

They hire anyone with a pulse.

Cons

If you stay with the company for an extended period of time you'll learn you mean nothing. You'll be lied to. You won't find growth opportunities, those are just words to keep you around and performing, hoping for more that never comes. You won't get raises or bonuses even if you're a top performer. If you are a tech, you won't afford cost of living. Pharmacy managers don't always align with district leaders and the tech is collateral damage. Staffing is non-existent and you will be worked beyond exhaustion. Techs are not treated as the healthcare professionals they are; I would say that to the company you are the equivalent of a fast food worker, but the burger place in town starts high school kids at $2.50 an hour more than we give licensed techs.
