They don’t care about internal colleagues

Pros

Pay and benefits were alright

Cons

I applied as an internal colleague to a data analyst position at CVS/Aetna. I made it through the interview process and I was definitely qualified for the job/duties. I felt pretty confident I would receive an offer but instead got ghosted. Almost three weeks had passed since my final interview and I had not heard back. I reached out to everyone I could find - my recruiter, my hiring manager, my hiring manager’s boss, random CVS recruiters on LinkedIn, and got absolutely no answers as to a timeline of when I can expect a final update. These people would either ghost me, or give a vague response like “we’ll let you know by the end of the week” and never did. It was annoying hounding everyone for some clarity. It wasn’t until I reached out to a different recruiter on LinkedIn that I found out the position had already been filled. I received absolutely no communication that the position got filled. They strung me along and left me in the dark. I’ve dedicated over five years of my time and effort to CVS as an internal employee, only to be treated like this. I do not recommend applying here, not even for the remote, internal roles. They will waste your time and treat you poorly all throughout.

Pros

We didn't get laid off during COVID-19, so there's that.

Cons

Where to start. Abysmal PTO accrual that you can't really use because nothing is approved. Having to find coverage for yourself or someone to switch shifts with you if you're sick, even thought they have an "on call" provider scheduled. For the amount of roles you fulfill, office manager, receptionist, LVN, quality control, mail room, lab tech, sanitation staff, and provider your pay does not reflect that. You get an LVN as support staff sometimes but it's not built into the schedule to have one every day of the week with a provider but you're expected to see the same amount of patients. Manager is non existent during times of need and ignores calls, emails, texts messages, so that's fun. Harassment and abuse by patients is ignored completely. There is almost zero opportunity for professional growth. The "on call" shifts that you have to be available for twice a scheduling cycle for two hours you get paid a whopping $10 for essentially reserving your entire day. They will usually call you in and want you to schedule one on a weekend day even though you already work every other weekend. You better check your paycheck because they can and will leave of hours you've worked and expect you to wait until the next pay cycle to correct it. The health benefits are shamefully poor especially for a company partnered with Aetna and providing healthcare. When I first started working for MC it had problems but I never felt like a number with a license. Over the last 18 months it has gone down hill fast and in a hurry. I'm sickened at how they treat their providers and staff with so little respect.

Pros

- Don't have to work 9-5 M-F

Cons

- Management is TERRIBLE, they will flat out lie about various things and don't have employees' best interests as heart, it's all about the $$$ - Had a mandatory staff meeting (at 6pm on a Sunday night) and were told that we weren't allowed to ask any questions for the duration of the meeting - New grads get 2 weeks of orientation and then you're totally on your own - You are responsible for EVERYTHING (checking people in, running insurance, vitals, H&P, collecting payment, cleaning the clinic, taking out the trash, ordering supplies, running controls, etc). You will often be yelled at for various things (people not bringing their insurance cards, too long of a wait, not taking people after closing, etc.)
