CVS Caremark Assistant Manager Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – It was ok, just as normal as any hiring process. It just took long.

Negotiation Details – just as any normal negotiation phase.

Interview Details – Do not even waste your time if you are applying for a management position ,the management team used the group interview format and kept about 30 applicants for about 2 hours talking about the company and then after the first round of interview, the final 6 were asked to wait, then after one more hour waiting to be called, the final 3 were called and by that time I really felt like they were gathering info about other companies and I noticed that as some of the managers were leaving for the day, they kept talking about doing the same the next week. They offered the position but not before insulting me with a very low salary figure and explaning how lucky I was to be offered a job with "one of the best Co. to work for". I thanked them for their time and left.

Reason for Declining – Pay is terrible and they really think that they are the only show in town,

Then, Interviewer try to incentivate a little more about the great benefits to be in a management position.

Negotiation Details – You can not negotiate because whatthey offer you normally is the standard by company basis. they just add couple dollar to your actual rate.

Interview Details – I applied online and was contacted within a few days to set-up a personal interview. I went to the Regional HR office and talked with the HR manager. We had a very good conversation and he told me he had several other people to talk with and would be back in touch within a week. I waited about 2 weeks with no response so wrote a thank you note telling him I enjoyed the meeting and was sorry to hear I was not being considered. Immediately he sent me an email telling me I was still in the running. I went for a second interview with the training store manager a couple of days later and had a good conversation with him. The HR manager contacted me and told me they were interested that I would need to take a drug test and have a background check. Those were both completed almost immediately and I was then made an offer that matched the company I had been with. I felt good about this at the time as I was being hired as an assistant store manager. At the time everyone seemed very professional and willing to help new people succeed. My advice is to be patient with the process, sometimes they get involved in their own processes and don't convey that information to the candidate.

Negotiation Details – I was able to negotiate a salary that matched my previous company. I would suggest looking at average salaries and starting a bit on the high side.

Interview Details – I had only one interview and I had to be very detailed about the kind of person I am. THe person needs to be organized and have excellent communication skills.

Negotiation Details – I depends on your experience and education level in order to negotiate

Interview Details – I worked for cvs for 2 and a half years prior to my interview for the position. I was recommended to to the HR manager by my district manager. At the interview i was not prepared and honestly did not really want the job. She asked questions like where do you see yourself in 5 years and what are the most important aspects of running a store. What are some important things that you have learned form your managers. The interview only lasted about 5-10 mins.

Interview Details – I was offered to come in after a phone interview and I went in to speak to the manager and we had a typical interview with why i want to work there and my weaknesses/strengths...and she told me I would be able to start working as soon she speaks to the district manager to discuss the pay rate, I never heard back...I called numerous times and she would never "be there." I went in one day to find out what was going on and as soon as she saw me she went looked the other way and went into the backroom, I waited for 30 minutes and had the cashier page but never came up.

Interview Details – Very informal interview process. Spoke with an area Training Store Manager for about an hour. We talked a little bit about my work history, but most of the conversation was small talk.
