I’ve worked at several pharma retailers before
CVS is definitely the worst. I took the job a while ago due to convenience (moved for a family member). There are not many better opportunities where I am, so I’m stuck with CVS for now. But Jesus, is it a horrible workplace…
Who actually does the “terminating” during layoffs?
Who does the actual termination when they decide to cut your position/let you go due to layoffs? I report to a Director, so would it be them? Or does someone in HR do it? Thanks
Appeal "Water Cooler Chat" meeting w/Max
It feels like colleagues in these meetings are too scared to state how they really think or feel for fear of retaliation by their management. Maybe Max should have these without managers or supervisors on the call.
Is CVS "too big to fail?"
People keep telling me I shouldn't be worried about CVS going the way of the dinosaur, but I'm not so sure. Much bigger companies have folded and no longer exist. Considering how things have been going lately, I don't think it's outside the realm of... — read more
What is the official policy on not being alone in the store? And where do I find it exactly, so that I have it in writing.
Posting here instead of reddit, to keep more anonymous for obvious reasons. Let’s just say our DL conveniently looks the other way when alone, and says just stay open your fine. I need written proof he’s wrong. I know it’s against company policy... — read more

CVS is past the point of no return
So many opportunities to develop, diversify and deploy sound business tactics have been missed. Model under which we are operating now has no future. CVS will just drag itself to the finish point, shedding decent employees, talent and missed... — read more

Average Age of Layoff Folks
Most selected to layoff seem to be in their late 45s and over. Does this mean there are grounds for age discrimination? Often they select 5 to 7 people in the same job category. Then segregate them by Race, Age, Gender. Anyone over 45 and above will... — read more
Ok CVS your turn! Walgreens is closing for Thanksgiving. Time for corporate to do the right thing and do the same.

For the voice survey, do you think they intentionally make the deadline for sep 29?
I have a feeling that they set the deadline as end of September so that when layoff happens in October, no one has the opportunity to make true voice on true issues that matter. what do you thin?
Colleague Voices Survey
What are you writing? What do you think they would even care about? Is this useless?
Bye Bye!
After 11 years in retail pharmacy, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be stepping away from the grind and embracing a new opportunity. I’ve accepted a part-time position at a compounding pharmacy which means no vaccines, no controlled substances... — read more

Why was my 9-11 post removed? Funny a couple of hours after I sent it, the cvs home page magically had a post on 9-11..... Big brother is definitely on this site

Life feels so different now
It's only been 10 weeks since I quit, but honestly, it feels more like 12 months! I can't believe how much has changed since I left CVS. My mental health has improved immeasurably. Seriously, walking away was the best decision ever. I know it's... — read more
CVS mobile apps team
How is the mobile apps team at CVS? Is it outsourced to contractors or full time employees? Is the work culture as bad as other teams?
Today's Retail Leadership Call
You'd think everything was coming up roses, after that touch base. I guess we are so good that they won't be doing to retail for the 2 Billion in cost saving.... Right?
Any Product affected?
Any word on product being affected this year. We got hit pretty hard and were downsized last year
Aetna dental
I just got rehired and started a couple weeks ago ain Aetna Dental in California. Some people have been talking about layoffs has anybody heard anything in my department? Not sure why they would be hiring if they just plan on laying off.
Appeals misery
Anyone else here from appeals feeling completely burnt out? I’ve never experienced such a toxic and punitive work environment. Leaderships only focus is unrealistic metrics. No work life balance at all. No wonder turnover is so high.
The Impact of Organizational Restructuring on Team Dynamics
VP's and Directors in all departments and divisions are shuffling and rearranging teams, designing new organizational structures. This creates chaos and team destructions. This is extremely unprofessional management behavior. Why is this happening... — read more

Laid off December last year, just got an email from cvs with unemployment info
Was laid off December last year and just now got an email from a 3rd party for cvs, Thomas and co., restating my separation date, and including a pdf with some RI unemployment info. I guess cvs forgot that state requirement last year? Weird tho to... — read more
WHAT??? DDAT Design Calls? Not so sure

I hope to get caught in the net in coming layoffs
CVS is a dying place. Pay is not worth it, there are no real career options, and it feels dilapidated. Job market is bad, the outlook is not rosy, but I’m just done with this place.
October Layoff-Affected Orgs Thread
Let's look out for one another and start a chain to keep track of groups you are hearing will be affected...It sickens me to have to look at this forum every week. Lets look out and inform if you have information.
Let the downsizing commence
Announced today HDMS sunsetting, not selling off, sunsetting 12/31/25.
I’m one of those who decided to quit
It’s apparently a trend. I’m not waiting for layoffs or any other drama to unfold. CVS just became an awful workplace. I haven’t had a decent raise in a couple of years, and my pay is way below my experience and responsibilities. I started looking... — read more

This should be fun..results are going to be abysmal and we'll all get blamed...not the sh---y leadership.
This place is awful
Now people are leaving in droves knowing the bonus will be lucky to be 25% of target...they don't care.
