CVS/pharmacy Employer Reviews

The management do not treat employees well. They fire people unjustly and bully their employees.

CVS was a peaceful store and was relatively easy to be a part of and integrate with.

CVS pharmacy taught me the ups and downs of community pharmacy. I was able to learn all essential pharmacy positions from an experienced staff and given the freedom to operate freely. I was also able to learn the benefit of "work flow" and how the sharing of responsibilities makes the pharmacy run at a higher level. Talking to prescribers and counseling – more... patients developed my communication skills. Learning different business metrics helped to understand the business side of pharmacy operation. Learning and implenting patient care initiatives helped me to better connect my therapeutic knowledge to everyday work. Inventory management and ordering showed me more in depth how a pharmacy has to run. – less

Overall no regret , you'll learn so much and you'll do so much. Inventory, managerial courage , time managemant and you'll be able to grow in this company

Usually good days with management and co-workers. Management needs improvement.

Input and fill prescriptions. Kept pharmacy clean and organized. Communicated with customers and insurance companies. Co-workers are inviting and friendly. The hardest part of the job was learning to deal with angry and frustrated customers. The most enjoyable part of working in a pharmacy is that there are rarely dull moments. There is always something – more... to do and you constantly learn new things. – less

Working extremely hard to satisfy the customers needs and the company. I've learned so much working for the company like working together as one and learning more skills along the way.And if you make the customers happy you make the company happy.Management was very professional.The hardest part working as a pharmacy technician was well really nothing – more... at all.I really enjoyed that the company was family first. – less

My day at work consist of being the cashier and helping customers find items in the store. I do have good co-workers. I've learned that even on your roughest days you can make the best out of it no matter what kind of customers you get. The management at work I would say needs to really be managed by the store manager and treat everyone the same. The – more... most enjoyable part of my day is seeing my regular customer and having that friendly relaionship tht always makes them feel like home where they want to return. – less

I have learned much in my time at CVS pharmacy. I have learned to be very self-sufficient and how to lead people. I loved working with the amazing people most of all. I take a lot with me as I try to move up.

CVS is a wonderful company/team to be a part of. Upon hire , I was immediately welcomed and trained to the top standards and felt immediately a part of the team. All of the staff and crew members alike, are all polite and welcoming, THey are very helpful, and helped me get settled into the work environment.

Working at CVS was the worst job I have ever had. Poor management, supervisors were gossipers, store manager always told me I was replaceable, constantly threatened to fire me. Horrible hours, horrible pay. Leaving CVS was the best decision I made.

CVS has been my employer since 2005. Its a fast paced work environment that not everyone is capable of handling. You must be able to multitask with a small staff. Answer phones, help employees and customers, check in vendors, all while conducting your manager duties. CVS is flexible as far as scheduling goes. Ive worked day, mid, evening, and overnight – more... shifts, sometimes all in the same work week. If your in school CVS is a great place to work because they work with you.
Workers don't last to long but those that can handle the job stick around for years like myself and become very familiar with all the departments with the company.
Money is not great unless you become an assistant or store manager. – less

It would be really busy and customers are not always welcoming nor are some of the individuals you work with. Otherwise my other co-workers were great to work with, because we always helped each other when needed. However pharmacy management was great, but since it is a retail pharmacy the store management was not as great.

A typical day at work for me is greeting customers, helping them look for items, and answering phone calls to assist with the customer needs, developing photos and printing them in a timely manner. Also stocking items, making sure my work environment is clean and neat. I learned that customers always come first, always have a smile on your face and – more... treat every customer the same even when you or he/she have a bad day, and never bring your home to work learn how to separate the two. I love my co-workers they are always willing to help and they make it easier to work. they are so friendly and kind, it really is a team environment. The hardest part of my job would be following the tracts of the previous employee when things are not done on time I'm rushing to get it done, but i manage to complete it. The one thing i enjoy about CVS is the customers, getting a chance to meet different people and working with people who really care about you. – less

enjoyed working with staff. Yet change in management all the time was a lot to adjust to.

Working at CVS was a fun time in my life, I always was making friends. The hardest thing I had to learn while working with a large number of people was to keep to myself. That way you can't get your self mixed up in other peopl's problems. Every manager I had was always professional and treated me with all respect. I would be lying if I said picking – more... was a simple job, Working in 100 degree temperatures was such a hard part of the job. With all painful things there is always enjoyable parts that come out of working hard, CVS would always have special dinners. It seemed like evey holiday they would have a meal for us. – less

This job was a great opportunity for me. I started working for Longs Drugs in 2002, between being in and out of college, as a full time employee. I received good benefits, and regular 40 hour workweeks. When I decided to return to school full time, I was able to transfer to a store near my school of choice and work part time. The management was very – more... accommodating giving me hours that fit into my school schedule. CVS Pharmacy bought out longs and I was able to keep my position and wage. – less

Most enjoyable part of the job is helping people and making relationships with my customers. The job itself can be stressful in comparison to the compensation package. Excellent pharmacist.

CVS can be a great company, it all depends on your manager. With high customer service expectations, you have to be willing to work hard. If you do so, the sky is the limit. I have seen stock guys turn store managers.
