I'm seeing a lot of openings and a recruiter reached out. I appreciate the transparency on the pay range but it's hard to research companies like this where a large portion of the data you encounter is niche (e.g. people working in the stores and not... — read more

Hurricane Reports
Hearing rumors that some CVSes remained open as Hurricane Ian raged just outside. Using this thread to collect reports: Which stores, if attendance was optional or mandatory, the weather forecast for that area as of 36 hours before the storm, and... — read more
Wish we could just hire off the street
As the title suggests I am getting so many hits on indeed. But then when they go to apply they never show up in the reqs. It’s really frustrating when I have so many people that want a job but can’t hire them because of some stupid algorithm. And I’m... — read more
We can use ACO's off the clock but not on the clock. Why is that?
What's the difference, other than your "clocked-in"? Is there something you can do on the clock that you can't do off the clock?
Store managers
Store managers hours no longer count towards payroll??? What’s this about?
Cvs is a great company
All I see and hear is sad upset workers talking bad about the job and it needs to stop. I been here for 2 months and love it. Maybe all you who complain have been here too long and are just tired. I love the work and love the people who walk through... — read more
Closing distribution center in Bessemer AL
I was accidentally sent an email about no 2023 seasonal going to Bessemer .
Target Districts
Is it true that with the 2023 realignment that they will bring back Target Channel Districts? That being districts with only Target CVS’s?
Are they planning on cutting back severance???
This is the first time I see such rumor here. Is it possible that there is some truth in that?
My Last Week At Coram
Well This Is My last Week As A Coram Employee...Mixed Emotions 😵💫 Main Issue Is Why Are They Waiting So Long To Issue Severance Info?? Driving Me Bonkers 🤦🏾♀️ Any Other Aug 26ers Out There 👀
It's only when you leave that you see how miserable this place is
I don't know anyone whose life hasn't improved since leaving this company. It seems to me that this much disorganization is hard to find in other companies?
Corporate trying to figure out why low engagement
Corporate down to regional scratching their heads trying to figure out why engagement scores are low. Why associates don’t feel good about company. Here’s a non masters degree, non P.H.D. Food for thought answer. John Legend appearance google it... — read more
CVS closing downtown Fresno store amid Fulton Street revitalization
The CVS store at 1302 Fulton Street will be shutting its doors Sept. 13, the national retail chain confirmed this week. The 22,350-square-foot building at Fulton and Tuolumne streets was for decades a mainstay at the north end of the Fulton... — read more
DSSM
It sounds like they are finally getting rid of the DSSM position. This was a ridiculous position as nobody was interviewed for the position, it was simply given to the training store manager. Most are less qualified and not even good store managers... — read more
Why aren't more people leaving?
What's keeping you at CVS? I left a year ago and never regretted that decision but I know most of the people I worked with are still there and feeling as miserable as I once did. I know things are a bit trickier now but there is still an abundance of... — read more
How will this play out
We will go from 9 to at least 12-14 DLs in my state - all but 1 are pharmacist and all but 1 emerging leaders are pharmacists. There will be a lot of pharmacists not using what they went to school for on a daily basis . Will they be happy ? Will they... — read more
The vision is clear and obvious
The leaders are out for themselves from dm all the way to the top. Dangle the belief promotions are for the taking while working the cr-p out of people with no sign of real promotions. Take advantage cut costs, lie, and do whatever it takes to make a... — read more
Don't take layoffs personally
It does not surprise me when people say that they are laid off without any reason at all. You work hard - you do your best - you get laid off and then they don't even have enough decency say the reason for it?? Totally inhumane. Unfortunately, many... — read more
They always expect us to do more with less
Fewer people, fewer hours, but more work. Then they're shocked when people keep leaving. It's a mystery why.
Where is this company going?
I will be leaving soon, but still, I can't help but think about whether this could have been a much better place than it is now, if only the leaders had made slightly different decisions. Where is this company even going? One of the reasons why I... — read more

The job market is hot
I have read some of these posts and I am quite surprised that some stay here even though the job market is very hot. The first time I realized that I didn't like this place, I started looking for a new job and I will give notice in the next few... — read more
Grass is Greener
I have dedicated a lot of time to CVS, blood sweat and tears. The higher ups just can’t seem to figure out how they want to run the business and it keeps changing. It took them too long to figure out one DL for stores wasn’t working, FS looks... — read more
Not that there aren't options
I also have the need to vent sometimes because CVS has become a joke of a company. However, it is not that there are no other options. People I know found new jobs very quickly. I wonder how many actually tried but didn't manage to get another job?... — read more
DL’s, RD’s and corporate big shots

Sad place to be employed
This is one of my biggest mistakes when I applied here. I stayed only because I really believed that it would get better. Now I don't think so anymore? Does it make any sense anymore to be optimistic and believe that anything will change for the... — read more
About that Transformation…
It’s all over the internet that FS and RX are splitting. How many stores per district? Will some DL’s be let go? What happens to DPC, FCT, DSSM, TSM, DSPL? Do they get split or become eliminated?
Get out while you can
This has become one miserable place. I think even those who were most hesitant about whether to leave or stay a little longer will start leaving now?
News is out!
Here comes the big news!!!
Always reorganizing, always changing things
Can we for once stick with something long enough to see if it'll work in the long run?
Project transformation
What are we hearing about the FS/RX split? Will current DLs get to pick fs or rx? Will base pay, bonus and stock be affected?
Project Brady was bogus all along
Around May-June 2021, there was much ado on this forum about something called "Project Brady." A great masterful realignment involving Target. Immediately there were significant doubts from multiple corners, but the proponents kept it up. Meanwhile... — read more
CVS on resume
I am currently looking for a new job. It's depressing because I have a feeling that all my former colleagues got a new job faster than me. I hope that soon this place will be a thing of the past for me. I'm interested in whether you think CVS on... — read more

More closings this month
Several more locations will close this month. From what I'm hearing, others are being considered as well. I wish I knew how to tell if a location is in danger of being closed or not. Not knowing only makes me stress over something that probably won't... — read more
