Pros

The only good thing was my co-workers. We were around the same age so we got along great. The management didnt like that at all and tried to cause problems between us. CVS taught me how to deal with difficult and rude people ; It also made me more comfortable talking with strangers.

Cons

My ex-boss started me off with minimum wage and told me not to disclose my wage to any of my employees. Turns out she was paying ME more then them and they were there months and even years before me! The hours were crazy and I did more work than what i was getting paid for. There were days management made us clock out and work off the clock, afterhours. The supervisor was horrible! If i needed change or a customer had a complaint, not only would she have an attitude with me, she would sometimes take it out on the customer. The management always made me the only cashier ope, which caused a great deal of stress on my end as well as a long line of angry, impatient arrogant customers.The employees were fine, although there was DEFINITELY favoritism showed between the managers and associates.The raises are a JOKE ; i started off with 7.5O and was there for a good year an d a half with still no raise. I told my boss at the time i was about to leave to concentrate on school, and she thought she could swindle me with a $O.15 raise. . . .i left and never looked back. Overall, if your a student in High School Or College and want some extra cash in your pockets, CVS is for you. If your someone who wants to advance in this company, then be prepared to spend the next 8-1O years to even be promoted to Supervisor.

Pros

Stable Company Good Benefits Structured CD Rom Training for Start up Employee

Cons

Not so good Profit Sharing Offer Do what you are told attitudes of DSM and RX Super Most pharmacists would not object the legally gray area which CVS corporation often crosses due to job security ( Field managers often fires senior pharmacists and outspoken pharmacists) Most field managers are Hypocritics, the mouth says one thing and does only to benefit their bonus outcome. CVS surprised me by not supporting pharmacist performing Drug Utilization Review Process, Narcotics Over Use Monitoring, Medication Therapy Review Process, etc for patient safty but sides with irate customer who complained about not getting the pills they wanted. Also, CVS Caremark Pharmacy Corp. seems to encourge breaking the federal, state law until they get caught and yet discipline he pharmacist who spoke against just doing that labeling them saying," Not a team player, or has attitudes or confrontational, etc."

Pros

good for entry-level work in the health benefits industry resume builder great colleagues

Cons

- Raises are no longer in line with cost of living. It used to be 3.5-4% a year, now its 2% - 3%. -Bonus payouts are at the lowest they've ever been. Corporate tells you "The PBM didn't make its goals" and then sets the bar higher for next year. It feels like they are purposely setting goals to avoid bonus payout. - Benefits package was recently culled. Medical premiums increased 300%, days off were cut back to what the retail side of the house gets. People who had the most tenure with the company lost of a week's paid vacation a year. - Learning and Enrichment is gone. You used to be able to choose from tons of classes from different vendors who came onsite. They eliminated these programs. -Promoting from within has slowed drastically and current management goals seem counter-intuitive to encouraging career growth. - Morale at the PBM has hit rock bottom and has started to dig.
