CVS Employee Reviews for Store Manager

"Great company. Great people and leasers"

"CVS is a strong publicly traded company. Although hourly employees' pay is not sufficient, management is compensated appropriately. This has resulted in a continuous re-hiring process for store managers. As soon as someone is trained and effective, hourly employees typically leave for a higher paying retail company."

"The company is responsible but greedy and very understaffed."

What do you like about working at CVS?

"I like that the environment at CVS Pharmacy is free from harassment and the field management/store teams are excellent and work well together to provide great service."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"This isn't an easy job at any level. If you aren't the cream of the crop, look elsewhere. If you are that good and want to leave behind the yelling screaming boss, the sexual harassment, and the discrimination, then try it. They don't put up with anything here at CVS pharmacy."

What don't you like about working at CVS?

"Although things are great at our level (because we make it work well) CVS Pharmacy is a green eyed monster. I know what my profit and loss statement says, and the constant budget cuts and low wages are completely unnesesary. I work 55-75 hours per week because the company runs us short handed and demands a high expectation that is unreachable for most stores. Budgeting between stores is uneven making it much harder for some locations to handle the responibility than others."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"My biggest criticism is to bring the amount of people working at one time to a more appropriate level because we generally run way too short on employees. Increase incentives and create twice a year monetary reviews for crew on the same scale the company is using now. Don't be so greedy. Focus on driving service and compliance and watch your top end sales increase instead of cutting nesesary expenses."

"Excellent company to work for with opportunity for growth."
