CVS Health salaries

The pros of working at CVS Health was the people I was able to engage with on a daily basis.

In my experience, the cons of working at CVS Health were zero work life balance and not given the necessary tools to operate efficiently.

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.

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.

The employee discount

You receive a technician license in the process

You don't get any shifts

There isn't anything

Training is the worst

Start giving people shifts

You need a license, also learn a little bit about basic medicine names

Stability and Job security

No room for growth without being in healthcare

My experience allows me to make my own decisions, no micro management

She is a woman

Have more events and opportunities for people not interested in the pharmaceutical side of the company

It was almost 20 years ago and I was a teenager, it was also my first job. I prepared by doing a mock interview with my friend who worked with the company at the time and I wrote down my strengths weaknesses and goals for my future.

Terribly

It’s forced but it’s there. There is a huge disconnect between corporate and store level so it’s disappointing.

Making customers happy and laugh, and resetting merchandise according to how I feel it should be based on the store.

Great work with colleagues, opportunities to grow and learn new skills

Communication

Leadership team has given me opportunity to learn new skills, Flexible with schedule and time off.

Communication

Research the company and position. Have questions prepared

In my experience, the compensation at CVS health compared to the industry average is about the same.

There is a lot of Diversity at CVS and opportunity for any person to succeed

The people I work with and being able to have the ability to succeed as well as learn new skills. Bring able to put those new skills in action.

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.

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

Endless possibilities

Endless work. Endless turnover

The sky is the limit for your career if you can master your role, stay bought in, run a lean business, and get good results.

They are positive and engaging. Solid strategy. Confidence in the long term.

Reduce the amount of direct reports for DLs. Reinvest in training store managers.

Googled the job description

Above average

Anyone can be successful here. It’s about results.

Seeing my team deliver great results.

Fast-paced and love working with patients.

Never receive raises, pay is minimum wage, hours cut and responsibilities overtaxing with minimum staffing. No opportunity for growth and horrible benefits.

Taking care of patients for 20 years and knowing they can trust me to help them, their aging parents and growing families.

I liked the experience I received in the pharmacy world. I enjoyed learning about all the prescriptions and how to work with insurance.

It was always extremely busy there. The pharmacy is open from 9-8 during the week and we are also open on the weekends, so the life of a full-time pharmacist would be difficult.

I get a 20% employee discount by working there part-time.

Shift and time management, problem solving, great customer service

Different types of schedule and management systems

Vacation, sick pay

Working with educated pharmacist and experience

No career growth

Good salary and better growing future

salary and benefits

not enough support help not allowing for best customer service

salary, vacation pay

The Customers and the pay

Company is changing for the worst. Employees are not happy anymore

Health insurance and 401k

The staff members are motivated to do a high volume of work.

The corp. is so careful w/ the revenue that the staff must go without upgraded machines.

Vacation and the retirement acct.

nothing overworked and underpaid

overwork and underpaid and diversity

none healthcare was horrible

Time off, vacation.

Micromanagement, bonuses, salary, parking.

Employee Discount

My Associates , my customers

The cut in hourly employees

Employee discount, Health care

No work life balance. What they demand of you simply can’t be done on a 45 hour schedule, you will be putting in atleast 50-60 hours a week. Also endless virtual meetings

The People are the best and one of the worst things.

Management.

30% discount on CVS brand.

The shift manager was really nice

10 to 12 hours of work also Saturday working

health and dental insurance

Coworkers. Some patients

Upper Management, lack work life balance

Employee Discount.

I love my daily tasks and people here

I am not paid equally.

the bonus is good but the health insurance is so expensive

They do licensing training

Understaffed always. Low wages. Terrible customer base.

Flexible Scheduling

They care about there staff and I love the way they give us our allowance with good health

Because we work everyday and our ceo complain too much and I don’t like that I hate it

To be cool and care to show staff love I really love that a lot

nothing besides the opportunity to find another company that puts consideration into what's being asked and the tools given to meet their delusional metrics vs the detrimental effects on the mental health of their employees

lack of support, no overtime pay, no pharmacist overlap when you're drowning. constant additional tasks being added with no increase in pay.

health insurance ...

The fast paced environment

The Nonnegotiable flexibility for hours

Having the opportunity to know that I am part of a bigger process

easy and friendly environment. great experience for healthcare major students

needs more staffing, and competitive pay. years of experience doesn't really pay off

none, no perks

i liked the workflow

my job had poor work life balance

flexibility was the only benefit

The flexibility

There is not room to grow and management is treated poorly.

The staff, the opportunity for advancement, and hardworking coworkers.

The area where it is located

Some holidays off

Team spirit and dedication and hard work. Good health benefits. Awesome retirement benefits.

No room for advancement for me.

Helping care for the patients

Unprofessional. Leadership not supportive.

Learning different job skills.

Being able to learn about the ins and outs of a pharmacy.

Management

Learning how to perform COVID testing on patients

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.

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.

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