CVS/pharmacy Employer Reviews

Opening and Closing of the store
Inventory Control
Shrink

I dealt with a lot of sexism and racism at my particular CVS Pharmacy store. Unfortunately these things mainly came from the past managers. Most of the Employees are more interested in creating gossip and bad mouthing one another, then actually finishing the list of things that had to be done that day. I spend almost 3 years of my life in this store – more... and I was told because I was and I quote "an immigrant" I will not get a promotion. I performed tasks that are way out of my lead for my job tittle with no complains or asking anything in return, I never gotten noticed for it. Few girls (who do not work there anymore) Used to go to the office and eat for 4-6 hours every time we closed together and I did all of the work. Any positive things to say about it? Unfortunately no. – less

At by 3 driving fork lifts my co workers are very helpful. The hardest part of the jobs is queuing of the trucks they are sometimes to small. The most enjoyable part of the job are the early out which means if they don't need u they will ask u do u want to go home.

Working at Cvs/pharmacy has been a wonderful experience for me. A typical day at work will be interacting with different customers and showing them the same quality customer experience they deserve. Also, by getting the job done as quickly and as best as you can is how you can strive for the company's success. I always look forward going to work each – more... day because I enjoy doing my job. This company has taught me how to communicate with customers efficiently by making sure they are treated professionally as soon as they walk in the store, to offering them the best service than any other store, and thanking them because without their business we wouldn't be in business and out of a job. The management is very supportive because they always make sure to give you feedback on your performance and how you can improve. My co-workers are really great people to work with because working together as a team is what makes the store run efficiently. The hardest part of my job is when the store gets understaffed, you have to work more rapidly than you have to but I already overcame this difficulty moderately well. The most enjoyable part of my job is the interactions between me and the customers because they always put a smile on my face. – less

Very fast paved store environment. Dealy with very diverse populatio which greatly improved my interpersonal skills. Managed a team of 10-15 technicians. I enjoed the challenge of a fast pace, requiring organizationa and efficiency

this is a great place to work I have learned a lot from the management team and my fellow associates. Dealing with customers can be both difficult and enjoyable depending in the mood of the person.

Pharmacy
Pharmacy experience
Worked as technician and intern

Enjoyed interacting and helping the customers and solving problems. Very fast pace. Coworkers were a plus; always working as a team which made it a fun environment but were extremely professional.

While working at CVS, I was able to learn a lot in the healthcare field. I worked in a fast paced environment and was always able to get the job done. I was able to work with my fellow employees as a team in which made a big difference in the work flow. I would have to say the hardest part of the job was when I left the company due to the fact of getting – more... to know the day to day customers and building relationships and getting to know them quite well. The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be that I really did enjoy the feeling of being able to help the customers when they were in need. It could be to help them find an item in the store, answering questions about their medication or heath problems. Just to know that I may have made a difference, really felt good. – less

A typical day would be opening the store. Opening the cash office, getting the opening cashier her register till. Perform clerical duties by counting and balancing any remaining tills. Put together the days bank deposit, count the safe. Make the daily to-do list, delegating what jobs will be done by who. Check daily company e-mails. Perform any task – more... as directed by the workload manager via the computer. Perform customer service duties such as greeting customers, offering help, and running a register when needed. Do daily observations of the cashier(s) on my shift. Perform the tasks set on the daily to-do list. Communicate with the next shift supervisor and/or store manger when they arrive. I enjoy greeting customers, we have many "regulars" who come in almost daily. You get to know them and their families. The hardest part of the job is being pulled in many directions when you have a deadline when something has to get done. You just deal with those as they come and soldier on. – less

A typical day for me would consist of doing daily deposit and paperwork (if opening shift), closing out all cash drawers, and cleaning store (closing shift). I would supervise employees, and was responsible for inventory management(stocking/receiving), planograms, daily price changes. Management at CVS taught me a lot, and always gave me a chance to – more... improve myself by giving me more responsibilities which lead from head cashier to shift supervisor. The most enjoyable part of my job was learning new things daily and making customers happy. – less

As an extern I have very little knowledge on the compensation/benefits, but my short experience there as one has made me want to persue a career there. The staff was friendly and very helpful to me. I know that I was there to learn and was most likely part of their job and such, but I really liked everyone. Nobody was rude to me or short with me. I – more... think the hardest part is getting aquainted with the work pace and pharmacy set-up and trying to remember where everything went. The days went by fast, except on Sunday or Saturday. Sometimes the pharmacy was so slow it seemed to take forever. – less

Job is stressful with not many options of advancement. Managers, at some stores are unfair and the company as a whole looks at you by number and always says that you are replaceable.

This company has a high turnover rate for techs and pharmacists. My store was always in transition as well as I was denied a transfer to another location multiple times by my pharmacy manager. I found this to be a different and at times difficult pharmacy to work for.

Basically I took care of waste management, back stock and managed the employees while other managers were away or busy. I would be the one most of the time doing closing; meaning I would count all the mid-shift banks, do multiple drops, and deal with unhappy customers. The hardest & enjoyable part was closing, the location I worked at was right in Hollywood, – more... a lot of drunks would come in and start trouble but I did have great employees to help me out at times. – less

I work Monday- Friday 8a-4:30p as well as on call 24/7. I have learned alot from CVS such as how important customer service is and how important our customers are to us. I work with an awesome crew of Pharmacists. I would have to say the hardest part of my job is scheduling 63 Pharmacists on a weekly bases. The best part of my job, is important and – more... needed everyone makes me feel. :) – less

A typical day I would be at the cash register or producing photos. Management was very easy going as long as work was being done.Most enjoyable part of the job was staff appreciation.

I got to learn alot about insurance verification, and HIPPA which I think will help me in my future career as a Dental Assistant.

My overall experience with CVS varities, I started out working for Jewels/Osco drugs. Over the years was sold to three different companies, so my job opportunities and title changed a lot. The company is a good place to for anyone wanting fast pace. My co-workers were nice but again it changed when CVS Pharmacy took over Osco Drugs. The hardest part – more... of my job was work load and trying to manage over 25 employee on different shifts. The most enjoyable part of my job was the employee, and the customers. I get to learn and know a lot of people through out the years. – less
