Pros
Compensation, friends, and it's a job in a poor economy. Medical benefits are okay, but be warned that CVS outsources your benefits HR department overseas and they barely understand english.
Cons
Note, the S.California market is under different rules that other areas! Store Managers are being fired for having expired milk, must work 3 nights a week, reduced staff hours without reason (cause sales are up), heavy corporate mandates without support, and are now limited to a total of 4 keyed supervisors per normal houred store. Stressful! Job requires 6 days a week and about 10 hours a day without additional compensation... you must also sign a statement that you will be fired if you complain (aka sue) about this... as you should be doing your job within the 45 hours a week they technically require - which is impossible without the hours to staff properly.
