Pros
The company is doing a good job of trying to be innovative. But with the purchase of Aetna they are coming off a bit desperate.
Cons
No work life balance. Despite what the company says about its contribution to their employees, they put impossible amounts of workload on you. (That’s the well known complaint.) Though they raised starting rates for cashiers, they cut their work hours. They blame and threaten management when the company fails government audits. They provide no resources to offset the time stores don’t have to ensure state and government compliance. Staffing is dangerously low. There are times when the automated scheduling system wants only one employee in the store. The company covers its track of treating its employees poorly by controlling its image to the public. For example the recent starting wage increases... but the stores would rather have more staffing to feel safe and be able to complete tasks. Theres also all the progressive image gimmicks to keep liberals from catching on to them for the way cvs treats their employees. Several managers have had heart attacks as a result of the companies pressure to achieve the impossible. Things need to change badly....it will eventually catch up to them. When it does they will have to be reactive. They’ve never been good at being pro active.
