Pros
CVS is a job and won't be going anywhere soon
Cons
Sharply increased work:resources after Aetna merger, pharmacists frequently working longer than they are compensated for. Middle management consistently tells subordinates in blanket emails how poorly they are performing despite working more than they are compensated for. Initial pay is 10% less now than 3 years ago with pharmacy managers expected to work off the clock to get it done. Everyone's job is regularly threatened now, yet the poorest performers somehow remain employed. Don't work here as a pharmacist if you wish to remain functional outside your job. Pharmacists' conversations outside work center on how they hate their job. It hasn't always been this way but started to become the norm about a year ago. I've been here 10+ years but would like this year to be my last with the company. Bon voyage!
