CVS Caremark Reviews

I have been working at CVS Caremark full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – I feel a part of a team that can really make a difference, and I'm surrounded by like-minded colleagues. It's been an exciting journey to see how we have transformed from a Retailer and PBM into a healthcare organization that is committed to helping people on their path to better health. As a part of the company's evolution my work has evolved with it and kept me excited about what the next day holds.

Cons – It's a large company so you have to make sure you don't get lost, but there is plenty of opportunity to make a difference.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the momentum for getting senior leadership connected througout the organizations. The town halls, pod casts and myLife updates are helping colleagues stay informed and engaged!

I have been working at CVS Caremark full-time for less than a year

Pros – Good, competitive salary. Clean, nice stores.

Cons – Borderline abusive to pharmacists. They usually work one pharmacist at a time for a 12-14 hour shift. No lunch, no breaks. It is against company policy to have food in the pharmacy, which means you're forced to go all day without eating.

Advice to Senior Management – Treat your employees, and I mean ALL of your employees, the way you'd like to be treated. And if you get to take an hour lunch break every day, so should your employees. Don't ask them to do something you're not willing to do yourself.

I have been working at CVS Caremark full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Working such long hours allow you to really get to know your employees so your store becomes like a little family.

Cons – Payroll is almost nonexistent. The Store Manager is responsible for pretty much everything in the store, including Pharmacy.

Advice to Senior Management – Quit spending money on useless programs and give the stores more help to get the job done. Action plans are completely useless and a huge waste of time.

I have been working at CVS Caremark full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Challenging and pushes you to do your best. Benefits are pretty good. Because of the long hours...you tend to get close to your co-workers and they become like family.

Cons – There is always Way more work do to...and Never enough hours given to you get it done. I find that there is too much micro-managing is instances that do not have to be.
Hours are very long most times. Some pace is too fast for too long & I LOVE a challenge.

Advice to Senior Management – Find a better way for your store & pharmacy managers to focus on building Customer relationships, In-Stock, and Appearance of their departments than on the numbers, charts, metrics, & formalities of the business. I believe putting together a team to be solely responsible for those things will allow these store level management to get back to foundational responsibilities
