Pros

-the ability to work from home - equipment provided -decent training, but could absolutely be more in depth and last longer -OT is pretty frequently available -LOA department is wonderful and super helpful and supportive -family dynamic between training classmates/coworkers

Cons

-supervisor will either be up your butt or you will be left alone -unrealistic call metrics -calls are also graded by a machine in addition to QA team -QA team not consistent with expectations -no “personal “ minutes per diem, as offered in other branches of cvs and also other wfh companies -will completely move you to an entirely different department, give a “we need you guys “ talk then say it’s not an option , offer what they would consider efficient training (ps it’s not) , and throw you to the sharks -schedule changes are NOT common -don’t take LOA for an extended time, because your return will not be coordinated in any aspect as initially promised to you by LOA dept, you will just be expected to log back in on that day even though passwords change/systems changes/etc and ZERO contact from any supervisor prior to your return date -no time in between calls to notate/expected to summarize and notate while assisting caller with anything and everything . Grow extra ears and hands , I guess -

Pros

I learned a lot working there as far as how to run a business as well as how to develop a team. I had one of the most successful teams in the company ranking as the top store year over year in two separate markets, one in the Northeast one in the Southeast. I was a paragon winner with the company as well. My most recent DM was very supportive. I genuinely thank them for the opportunity and the knowledge that I acquired while working with them.

Cons

Work hours were excessive. To be successful hours worked were borderline slavery. While I willingly worked them to be successful, the week you didn't you were immediately behind. Vacations were almost non existent due to constant visitors from corporate stopping in to do reviews. Holiday weeks were paid 4 days regular 1 holiday and you worked all 5. The facade of the stores looking great when these people stop by versus the reality of the business is polarizing. There were always teams of people and excessive expenditures of payroll thrown into stores prior to their visits. While I understood the need to make an appearance, it was always will always be a backwards way off thinking. Company preaches quality of life for their clients while quality of life for their employees is non-existent. As a "manager" in your average store you will be "managing" a total of one person during your shift, with a total of 10 people at location. Location open hours will exceed total payroll hours ie Sun-Sat 7am-10pm = 15hrs per day x 7 days x 2 people = 210 hrs which excludes the need to have a person unload deliveries that come in during non opened hours. Your budgeted hours will be approximately 208 hrs. I will only mention that during the month of December that there are extended hours for the stores but no budgeted hours to accommodate. Stores are held to strict shrink targets with little to no control over external theft. Remember 2 people at location, if four people enter to steal there is nothing you can do to stop them. These are facts not personal prejudices.
