Pros
They hire you on as a pharmacy tech trainee, most companies want you already certified. Pay not bad for trainee position (if you're lucky enough to get into a store where they actually train you, good luck).
Cons
When interviewed I was told I could have a full-time position, then was offered part-time. Accepted position anyway, but I was told I would get around 25 hours and was scheduled around 10 hours per week, stretched out over 3 days, so I was working 3 hr shifts!! I can't live on 10 hours a week with a child, that is insulting! On the job training was a joke, they show me half a transaction & leave me to fend for myself for the rest of the day because no one wants to be bothered to train & are too busy. Was never taught drop off, just stuck on drive through all day, and had to bother other techs if customer was dropping off CII because I didn't know what to check for. Communication with management is horrible, you walk in the first week and they're annoyed with you because you're waiting for instruction and they just expect you to jump in and work although you've never stepped foot in a pharmacy in your life! Anxiety the entire time I'm there because I feel like I'm just in the way as everyone is running around me, not saying a word to me. Things that are stressed in classroom training as MANDATORY STATE LAW I'm told not to worry about when they come up with customers. Ask for feedback and get none. Horrible work atmosphere, everyone always glum and pissed off, and you are literally ignored all day unless asking a question. As far as benefits go, I was never told how to get my employee discount, let alone how to clock in and out. CVS is a joke! All of the bad reviews I read were absolutely true!
