Vantaggi
I have friendly co workers. CVS is a great job for those who love to help others. A lot of the customers are very friendly. Some call me by my name, which makes transactions seem personal. CVS is very accommodating when it comes to suiting your schedule. Because no one works the same days each week, changes to your time of availability can be accommodated. As a part time cashier, I sometimes get about 23 hours per week and sometimes 33 hours per week. Some supervisors and managers are nice. The job is never boring. A lot of promotion opportunities. Training for higher positions can easily be completed online. Employees get 30% off CVS brand items, 20% non CVS brand items. The 15 minute break per 6 hour shift (or two 15 minute break per 8 hour shift) are paid breaks.
Svantaggi
Orientation is very long. It's 12 hours long and divided in two days. The raise is only 2% per year. If you don't have much job experience when you get hired at CVS, your hourly wage might be as low as minimum wage. Some managers don't have realistic expectations and are unreasonable. As a cashier, I am on my feet all day. Meal breaks are only 30 minutes long and are unpaid breaks. I'm not getting the best training due to the store being too busy. Store is a bit disorganized. Online assessments are very time consuming.
