Without any exaggeration, the only thing CVS "excels at" is squeezing its employees. Leadership does not know how to set the right goals, it does not know how to ensure growth, but it definitely knows how to drain the energy of their employees... — read more
I saved this company a ton of money
I get paid minimally for the work I do. In some other companies I would be paid more. Plus, I do enough work for two or three other people, and I’m paid like I’m working for one. I can only imagine how much CVS saves this way, paying us... — read more
Truck drivers with CVS get paid what DLs get paid
Our truck drivers are making more than every person at store level and probably most DLs. This part of the reason we are failing our teams so miserably.
Carepass Is a pass on caring eh?
Nice seeing a negative number in my bonus...money was taken FROM ME because of carepass. Thank you Karen....much appreciated.
Target is paying $15-$25 an hour.
Target is paying more than CVS.
Dssm
What is this new DSSM position ? Is it permanent? They just started this position in my district what is the job ?
Do you read the CVS reddit?
There seems to be an employee uprising beginning. Anyone not on there should go check it out. It's also anonymous. There should be one place to organize a movement instead of being spread across multiple social media sources.
My region is under huge payroll crunch
Any one else loosing tons of hours fs and rx and being told demand or else ? Or is it just my region ?

Bonus paystub available to view on 3/11 on myHR. How many managers leaving on 3/15? I am leaving my keys on the desk at 3pm on 3/15 and emailing my d bag DL. No notice. Just come run your store f**ko If the bonus was substantial I would have told... — read more
They humiliate us
Stop with the LP quizzes that tell our employees that corporate thinks they are theives and that 30% of shirk comes from internal theft. Nthing says “I don’t value you” like telling them some one in their store is stealing every month. Especially... — read more
Horrible Bosses - CVS Edition

Thirteen Days...
...and counting. Cannot wait to get the he-l out of this dumpster fire of a company.
pay should be more competitive
This place desperately needs talented employees, but they are leaving. My opinion is that they are leaving primarily because of pay but also because of the stressful environment and forced overtime. Can CVS offer a more competitive pay? All my... — read more
They don't want to understand
Someone has already written about Carepass here. What frustrates me the most is that I cannot explain to them that it is difficult or impossible to sell Carepass to someone who does not want it. They don't want to understand it at all. All I can do... — read more

Unhappy Employees = Unhappy Customers
This is a very simple formula and they are still not getting it.
Why are so many leaving CVS?
And, what can be done to stop that? I am in management and this is a frank question.
Question
Are dls really firing store managers for not selling enough carepass?
(Not) get rid of retail?
Some believe that this is the ultimate goal of leadership, while others believe that retail will not be going anywhere for a long time. I would like to hear more arguments from both sides.
DLS hate their jobs
Yes we hate our jobs too. Most of us are miserable and want to leave after bonus time. We get **** from our employees and our bosses, RDs aren’t very nice. Trust me when I say that District Leaders hate this job more than anything, we had the lowest... — read more
How would you rate the morale here?
I start every day with cramps in my stomach because of the micromanager without any vision. I can't be productive in such atmosphere. I think morale has never been worse here, precisely because of the wrong people in higher positions.
Restructuring
Another Big structure change happening this June. Going back to separate front and pharmacy managers. All pharmacist DLS will have pharmacy only, and non pharmacist will be front store only
Stuck here
I don't remember ever being so demoralized. I don’t know if I’m more tired of this company or looking for a new job. Everyone who leaves says they got a new job very quickly. Is that really so? I thought I was marketable but for more than 5 months... — read more
Cautiously optimistic projections

March
Who is planning on leaving once Bonuses hit? And what’s your position?
Wanting to get out of cvs
I keep hearing those who wish to leave cvs. I advise cvs workers to learn to make your own money. Be your own boss. You can do uber or lyft or sell on amazon or ebay or do door dash. Publish a book. Learn to invest in stocks. Start a dog walking... — read more
Store manager incentive question
The Store manager incentive plan located in my HR states you need to be actively employed on March 1 in order to receive your bonus payable March 15. Does this mean if I quit on March 2 I will still get my bonus? Or do I need to stay until it hits... — read more
I want to get out of retail
I am looking for a way out of this company, but also out of this industry in general. All the years spent in retail have left a toll on my health. However, how to get out of this industry without enough skills? Not so easy. I would love to hear the... — read more
Is the grass really much greener?
I keep hearing stories about people who have left and are now much better paid, have better benefits, less stress etc. These are people I don't know. On the other hand, the people I know and have been in contact with since they left don't have such... — read more

SVP gone and a DVP gone suddenly. Looks like people getting fired
When did you make the decision?
Actually, I wonder how long it took you to make the decision to leave this company? I've been thinking about it for a year now, but despite all the stories of people who are supposedly much better off since they left, I'm not sure it's much better... — read more

Store Closures UPDATE
Any info regarding closures yet? I’ve seen a few trickle out but not 300 like everyone is saying.
Leaving CVS was a great decision
I left CVS about eight months ago because I've had enough of the mistreatment and I've never been happier. Actually, leaving was the best thing that could have happened to me. I found a job that pays better (which was not hard at all) and my stress... — read more
