Pros
You get to run the business as your own but with CVS rules. Good company to work for if you don't like your family and want to be away from them constantly.
Cons
I was with this company for ten years and things changed as with all companies but I would say the last year has been the worst I've ever seen. The company preaches customer service non-stop but does not provide the staff needed to provide that level of service. All stores follow a minimum hours format in the MIchigan market at least. This means that based on this model most shifts will have one cashier working and one manager working. This means the manager must complete 85% of the physical labor for the store, in essence you are a glorified stocker and really only have to manage yourself. A typical day will have you start off by performing opening duties, answering backdoor for vendors, complete all stocking, complete daily price changes, cover all breaks with yourself as the cashier, cover pharmacy calls for back up cashier, complete planograms, change out ends, hold one on one mycustomer observations (often times while the cashier is trying to ring out customers). This is just the small list of the myriad of tasks that you alone must complete by yourself on a daily basis. I am not exaggerating whatsoever you will earn your money, you will work 6-7 days a week, you will have to cover call offs and work doubles to cover call offs because the store is so understaffed that there is only 5-6 ppl to call if there a call in. This company has completely lost touch with reality with how a business should operate, the corporate greed is disgusting as an employee and as a former customer. Anytime you walk into a location you will have to wait in line for up to 10 mins during peak busy times. Shame on cvs for their service.
