Current Employee – been working at CVS Caremark full-time

Pros – The company as a whole is doing very well. The future of the organization and their mission is solid.

Cons – Within the Specialty Pharmacy Division: The FSM's are the biggest issue and heavy leadership training is needed. Most FSM's do not respect their team, they do not encourage them when they want to look at other opportunites for advancement and they manage their team - not lead.

Advice to Senior Management – Leadership training is needed for all FSM's. Turnover will continue to be an issue until there are more qualified FSM's within the Specialty Pharmacy Division.

Advice to Senior Management – You get what you pay for and you have not fairly compensated me for the excellent work and service I have done for you.

Former Employee – worked at CVS Caremark part-time for more than a year

Pros – Pretty flexible hours of work, easy to learn most jobs. Most coworkers were friendly and approachable.

Cons – Little to no engagement with employees in terms of development opportunities. Miscommunication regarding time available. Favoritism by management led to unfair delegation of tasks.
