Trouble Hiring

Anyone else having trouble hiring cashiers? It's like the location is either just too far for them or they never return your call back. What is going on?!?! Is this next generation really that lazy that they don't even want to work. This is getting... — read more

Store manager bonus?

So Walgreens has completely eliminated the SM bonus, and now store managers are leaving Walgreens left and right. No bonus = no incentive to stay. Might cvs follow suit and do the same thing?

Question to All

How is an SM expected to assist a very high volume Pharmacy, when there are only a total of (4) F/S employees, and therefore, they work in pairs, every other day?

Seriously though. Been to multiple locations in the past couple of days. Stores are not stocked well and look like they haven’t been faced in months. Cvs is just falling apart. Only a matter of time

CARE PASS

I haven't offered to sell a single care pass membership since CVS announced the newest hours cut. Anyone who does is a fool. "We're going to cut your pay and maybe force you to quit. In the meantime, make more profit for us by selling this c-ap." ... — read more

Why does the Pharmacy get special holiday hours?

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but WHY does the RX get nice cushy hours on Thanksgiving and Christmas, while the Front Store get nothing but normal regular business hours? Last I checked we ALL work for the same company and we ALL should... — read more 

New Mandates Today

We are all doomed!!

North Carolina store here. Just been told by DL that we are going to be downgraded from Store Manager position to team leader and by end of next year we will all be hourly. Its time to head for the nearest exit

Hours Changes, CVS is handing business to Walgreens

Here in Indiana, nearly all of our hours are going to RX. Honestly, it is really going to hurt CVS's brand, the front store is a convenient store. WE now have banker's hours, people are just going to go to Walgreens instead.
