Pros
* A great place to start for prepharmacy students * Lots of room for learning and growth * Flexible with shifts at most times * Great employee discounts in store and other benefits (ex. PTCB prep classes and materials are provided to employees for free and exam is paid by CVS)
Cons
* Difficult to achieve work-life balance at times. * The stress of working with adamant or rude customers * Pay could be better... * Training was the worst. There are training courses which introduce you to basics which was helpful, but I was told that an instructor would visit occassionally to do on site training which never happened. Working at a busy pharmacy, there's hardly any time for the pharmacists to give you training so I expected a more organized form of on site training from my trainer and was disappointed. I had to learned things on my own which was very difficult but the pharmacists and colleagues were great and always there to teach me new things and help. * Feels constantly short staffed (I work at a busy store). There's always something that doesn't get done and I voluntarily work overtime to help finish. There's a limit on the number of hours employees can work to stay within budget which always doesn't seem to reflect the work load and gets frustrating * High expectations from management
