Pros

My co-workers /management was always understanding and helpful.

Cons

I felt like taking a lunch break was a burden on the team, because when I would get back from even a 15 minute break the pharmacy would already be way behind since we were short staffed (especially during the start of the pandemic). I would be the best performer on my team and get a 10 cent raise every year. Some years I didn't get a raise. I believe one year I got a dollar or so since they bumped up the starting pay for employees, but that was the best I got. Most pharmacies struggled and only a fortunate few had low enough prescription counts to be able to maintain a regular workflow.

Pros

The only think I enjoy about my job is helping people save money. But cvs is dropping our tech hours to the point that I don’t even have the time to even do that anymore. They add tasks for pharmacy technicians to do and then do not compensate for them. I get no raise this year because I’m “capped” but now I do COVID testing , immunizations and now they’re expecting me to bag prescriptions and take a picture of them with a slow camera that’s worse than my old phones camera. Sometimes I can’t even get a good picture and I end up wasting way to much time just trying to get a good photo of a patients pills or box. On top of all this they expect pharmacists to help with clerk work which is absolutely insane because no pharmacist is going to go to school for 6-8 years to run registers for the entire day.

Cons

Overworked and absolutely awful pay

Pros

You have autonomy to some degree. It’s as if you have your own practice but without the risk. I enjoyed the patients at the clinic that was my home clinic. Pay was good for my area and benefits were awesome when I started the job.

Cons

Lots of turn over and/or restructuring of management over the years. I had 7 different managers in the 8 years I was there. CVS slowly chipped away at the benefits. Changed the bonus structure to only reward top performers as opposed to a profit sharing type bonus-you have little control over how many patients walk in your door. On call shifts made it hard to have work-life balance.
