Pros
The ONLY reason I’ve worked at CVS for 4 years is because of my team, and my management. I went from being a pharmacy tech, converted to a cashier(sales associate), to a shift manager. My store manager was fantastic and she would bend backwards for you if you needed time off or had an emergency. The team I had was phenomenal. We laughed, joked around and made each other feel better when we were down. Other than that, the company is a joke...
Cons
Awful hours(especially 24 hour stores) Working holidays Underpaid Corporate always cutting back hours Full time should be considered 40 hours, not 30... They expect you to do more than what “your” team can handle... Truck drivers and delivery’s would always be messed up, whether it is missing pallets, cases, wrong items being delivered to the store... etc. 99% of the time, there were always issues with truck. Photo lab department is a HOT MESS! Photo machines always have technical issues and customers can’t print pictures. Everything in the store that is electronic are ALL refurbished items. You know what that means right? Always calling in repairs or sending out new items because the refurbished items break easily.. the registers still use IBM which is the slowest operating system. DO NOT get me started with the coupons... coupons and the systems we use DO NOT go well together.. slow, slow, slow!!!! They always crash and have to reboot them which takes 10-15 minutes to full reboot back up. When there is a large transaction that a customer has, prepare yourself because it will crash on you. Bottom line to sum it all up, prepare to run around like a maniac with no head, and expect to be worked like a SLAVE!
