Pros
Only pro to this place was that the technicians all shared the same view point that the company doesn't do enough to promote the wellbeing of its workers or customers.
Cons
1. Terrible management 2. Company doesn't take HR issues seriously 3. Company kicks the issue down the road and instead of fixing it just dumps it off to another store. IE: if a manager is harassing employees or an employee is targeted the employee gets punished instead of the manager and in order for cvs to say they did anything they just remove the manager from that location and transfer them to the next store over 4. District managers are chosen with 0 experience managing the pharmacy so when they try to make policies they are actually hurting revenue and destroying the hard earned trust of the customers 5. Computer terminals always crash and take forever to restart 6. Clear favoritism amongst employee and management leads to bad blood between workers who are actually doing the work and making the store any sales 7. The policies of no water in the pharmacy even if its in a clear bottle is ridiculous. I have actually seen a tech nearly faint because the pharmacy manager refused to let her go get a drink from the water fountain just outside the pharmacy. 8. Training is lacking 9. Their covid 19 response was and still is terrible. Every pharmacy I've been to since leaving the company has their technicians and pharmacy set up for minimal contact, they've taken precautions. Cvs took months to even out up glass shields for the counters and even then they're literally 4 feet by 3 feet in length and width and there's a gap between the end of the counters allowing for customers to lean around the glass and speak to you creating more exposure and contact. Go look at a hospital pharmacy and you see the whole pick up section is one long window which protects their technicians and pharmacist from pathogens. Cvs has the money but are too lazy to do that. Go to walgreens they do it and theyre not as big. 10. Compensation for working during the pandemic. Cvs said techs would get a 300$ bonus for working. Out of that 300$ we only saw 150$ or so. It was taxed as well as having our hours cut and reduced. Not worth working for a company who doesn't care about its workers safety or its customers. They just care about making money.
