I hold a small position in CVS. Tiny enough in relation to the rest of my portfolio that, to be frank, the entire company could be liquidated and I could care less. In fact I'd jump for joy. But because I am a stockholder, I am eligible to vote in... — read more 

We are measured on metrics that don’t fully capture the work being done. You can be doing meaningful work and still look like you’re underperforming on paper. There’s a clear disconnect between effort and evaluation. I've seen people who were among... — read more

The new AI visit tool is effectively handling much of the DL's workload. As a result, we could expand the number of stores per district, and downsize the number of DLs in the FS by at least one or two per region. The payroll savings from this... — read more 

How many competitors has CVS put out of business? Independent pharmacies, small chains, regional chains, and so forth. CVS has put so many out of business. Yet when it happens to them, they cry foul, or they cry government overreach. Yet CVS... — read more 

Corporate should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen. It's bad enough to allow unsafe working conditions in the pharmacy, but the front store is treated like a complete afterthought. Especially should District Leaders and Regional... — read more 

For those who received a rating of 2 like I did at Aetna, are we still eligible to apply for internal positions? Also, how should we continue interacting with our manager after receiving this rating? Should we be concerned about being terminated or... — read more

Will those who were laid off receive any bonus?

I received a 2.5 performance rating that my manager told me “had to round down to a 2 due to a new policy”. Has anyone else been told about this “round down” policy? And then I was told I will not receive anything for a bonus payout because of my... — read more

Actions speak louder than words....save the umpteen emails.

Looking to apply at this location, please give me scoop on RTO. Current schedule is currently 3 days- is there any talk of going to 5? Thanks.

Sorry if this is a d-mb question, but I’ve been with Aetna for four years and consistently receive a rating of 3. I feel like I’m one of the top contributors on the team. I’ve noticed that some team members don’t even turn on their cameras during... — read more 

Holy cow is this training horrid.

Can anybody even remember when that happened?

Now I'm hoping for one. My workload is already piling up and it's just going to get worse. This job has nothing left for me anyway.

Why does CVS and it's affiliates allow bullies to be in leadership roles? My boss is demoralizing, hostile, and downright mean. This boss has their few favorites and if you aren't part of their group, then you are treated like a low-life. This boss... — read more

From what I see, people are more productive, more responsive, and putting in more hours. Why would any company want to give that up?

Here we go again!

I am contemplating an offer to join CVS as a Software engineer in Buffalo Grove. I just saw this board and it looks like layoffs are constant here. Is this a good environment to work for?

But your raise will still be 2-3% maximum and bonus will be pennies on the dollar and taxed at 50%

CVS Health CEO David Joyner received $17.8M in total 2024 Tilak Mandadi earned over $11.36 million in total compensation for 2024, driven largely by stock awards.

Im enjoying some of the comments.

Is anyone in a Lead Director role at Aetna willing to share the typical salary range and incentive % for this position?

You constantly hear about people being let go, a team here, an org there, in numbers just small enough not to draw too much attention. There's endless talk about a reorg with zero details, and barely any communication from leadership. We're left... — read more 

Supposedly anyone within 25 miles of any office. Good luck.

Looks like Aetna has layoffs. Anything on the PBM/Retail side?
