Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
I first applied online. Within a week I was contacted by a district-wide hiring manager for an interview. I went to the interview at the district office and was asked standard interview questions for a customer service/retail position (asked about previous interactions with customers at my old job, how I would handle certain situations with customers, etc. ). The interview was short (about 15 or 20 minutes tops) and afterward I was told I would be contacted about the decision, even if it was bad news.
Within 3 days I got the call that I was hired. After that, it took another week or so for the orientation time and meeting place to be set up. The orientation was 5 hours long on a Friday, and I started on Sunday. All in all it took two weeks from submitting the application to starting my first day of work.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
I interviewed for the pharmacy technician position. I wore a grey suit and arrived 30 minutes early. I was cool, calmed and collected while I waited. There was another candidate there that interviewed before me. When it was my turn, I met the person that's over the pharmacy and the store manager. The first question of course was tell me about yourself. They thought my answer was a little short but I winged it by simple adding more with a little chuckle. The rest of the questions were based of the information on my resume as far as my educational info and work history. I was asked why I didn't go to pharmacy school right after I graduated from college. I also had to do a phone scenario with a customer as if I was filling their prescription. They said I did that perfectly and seemed pretty impressed with my interview as a whole.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Woonsocket, RI (took 3 weeks)
I applied for the position through the CVS website . I got a call from an HR person who did the initial phone screen.
I was set up for a group panel interview the following week. I was interviews by 3 people and the questions for the most park were very basic performance based and pertaining to my resume.
The individuals interviewing me were very impressed with my achievements and I was told that their senior manager would be calling me next week , since she was traveling the week I was interviewing.
I then received an email from HR to fill out an online application and some other requirements. I was asked my salary expectations and given a number and if I was offered the job would I accept that number.
I agreed and I was asked to wait for the call of the señor manager.
The following week I received an email saying that I was no longer being considered for the position, Then someone called me and said to disregard the email and that the manager would call to interview me the next day .
After one hour of this call I got a call again saying that the department had decided to pursue a different direction for this position and that I would not be interviewed again.
This all seemed very strange, but oh well ..stuff happens.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
When I walked into CVS, the atmosphere was busy, and I had to ask to speak to a manager. Once in the office the manager first asked what do I ask for in pay. Then he continued to tell his personal story and about the store.

Interviewed May 2010 in Miami, FL (took a day)
cvs only hires people that pass a test and then trains them. My interview was short I wasn't asked any questions at the time and when I was hired on the spot. I was given paperwork to sign and the manager told me I begin working next week. It was easy and simple.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Thibodaux, LA (took 1 week)
I applied online. About a week later I received a phone call for an interview. I went in and had a one on one with the store manager. She was very nice. My only concern was that i was going on vacation the next day and I knew they wanted someone immediately. Luckily they waited for me to return. Ive been working there ever since, and have since received a promotion!
