CVS Health reviews

CVS is a money hungry company. It does not care about its employees, the way its being ran is everything but efficient and the pay sucks, although better than McDonald's pay. First, the treatment you get from corporate is unacceptable. They expect you to do unrealistic things that simply cannot be done. For example, they want you to walk out and show every patient where they can find a tylenol bottle and when I say every patient, I mean every patient. Hours, are also not the best, they are fair because there is rotation and everyone works all shifts, but you have to work nights, weekends and hollidays.

Some downsides of working for CVS Caremark include responsibilities, shift times, and pay. As for responsibilities, I speak for the front-store cashiers/photo technicians. And of course, this depends on the city/town that you are employed in. But as a cashier/photo tech, you are primarily in charged of the cashier drawer and are 99% of the time checking customers out by yourself and then are asked to also perform other duties such as stocking, straightening the shelves, or hanging the weekly sales tag. The other tasks become a nuissance because you have to constantly come back to the front of the store to check for customers waiting to be checked out, since that is your primary responsibility. As for the hours you work, or your shifts, you will most likely have to work 6 days in order to fulfill a 40+ hour work week, due to most stores having an 8am-10pm store schedule and shifts being split into 7 or 6 hour shifts for cashiers, due to the shifts or photo lab supervisors getting the better hours. Finally, the pay. With the pay that one receives working here, you could only survive if you still live with your parents and have few expenses, and tend to be slightly, and I mean slightly, above minimum wage.
