CVS Health reviews

You are on your own: no training, no training hours/budget, no help (one cashier is all you will have to run a 12000 sqft store,) very little input into merchandise selection (company does not care nor ask for your input even though you are the one in direct contact with the customer,) you will be paid based on a 44 hours work week but expect to work 55 -60 due to call offs that you must cover, small hours budget (197 hours for a store open 98 hours and that includes your 44 hours lol.) Expectations are unrealistic (example: sales are budgeted/forecasted up by 3 percent but your hours/payroll budget is cut by 4 hours a week??) How do you maintain customer service levels and expect to grow the business while at the same time cutting hours year after year??

Since I am a shift supervisor I have come to see myself as a middle man between upper management and cashiers. In this position it is easy to become frustrated. This is especially true when upper management expects you to do the work of 4 people and your running a store on a skeleton crew. Upper management also has you do things that, while on paper may look good, in practice are somewhat unreasonable given time restraints and other more important tasks that must be completed first. The other negative part about this job is that full time is a minimum of 30 hours and a maximum of 40 hours per week. CVS ties very had to keep people in this buffer zone, overtime for non-salary staff is frowned upon, which is a shame since I would be willing to work overtime.
