Pros of working at CVS Health

I enjoyed having a job to practice clinical experience and coordinate with the other employees in the work environment to accommodate for the fast-paced nature of the job.

Cons of working at CVS Health

My colleagues treated me poorly and did not ask me when I wanted to be scheduled for shifts. They scheduled me for 40+ hrs/week without my knowledge multiple times. My boss would yell at me inappropriately during shifts. It was overall a poor working environment.

Pros of working at CVS Health

I got a lot of physical exercise and effectively lost weight, learned a lot about the photo and pharmacy departments, multi-tasking, customer diversity, and interactions, and being able to sufficiently help my customers and impact their lives.

There were never any opportunities for advancement and no time to take breaks. Pay raises were extremely minimal, and the allotted hours by corporate for the store were never enough to keep everyone at a minimum of 30 hours a week.

CVS Health benefits

The manager would sometimes buy everyone lunch/dinner on truck day.

Pros of working at CVS Health

Some of the people are good people to work with. I was lucky when I first started working for the company I became part of a great team and had a great store manager who lead the team.

Cons of working at CVS Health

There has been changes in store management and district leaders that has made working for CVS not worth it anymore. It is no longer customer services and store focus. Even though your not a doctor upper management expects you to be on call. If you injured yourself or get really sick upper management don’t care and expects you to still go in. I’m almost certain if I drop dead in the store from being over worked they will just step over me and say I didn’t do my job. You get promoted within the company and they barely give you a raise.

CVS Health benefits

There is no real perk or benefit for working for this company.

Pros of working at CVS Health

I started at the entry level as a stocker, cleaner and cashier. Hours were flexable and management worked with me to give me hours that were convenient for me, not for them. I appreciated this a lot and it made me love the job. CVS grew on me and I eventually got promoted to store manager.

Cons of working at CVS Health

Coworkers aren't always the most friendly and I've had a few arguments. The climate in the store can be a bit boring at times and the work isn't the most rewarding.

CVS Health benefits

I can take vacation time quite often and I have freedom to work different schedules as I see fit.
