Store manager here... I might be accepting a job with another company in January 2020. How do I remain eligible to collect the Manager bonus paid out (Mid March is when I got last year’s)? Can I step down to a part time supervisor or cashier and work... — read more
Reality is CVS is a Health Care / Insurance provider
Stores are now out of favor and a drag for the company. So what! Realize that leadership is interested in one thing. Shareholder Returns! .....Cut, cut, cut expenses. Where? The stores! It's easy! Executives know that the companies future is NOT... — read more
2020 FS Budgets
Has anyone heard what we are looking at for FS budgets in 2020. Will it be a drastic (20+ hour) cut like last year or just a few hours cut? Obviously there will be some sort of cut, as I think we would all have to quit out of shock if they didn’t cut... — read more

Layoffs
Layoffs coming in December monthly pharmacist. Confirmed today

If you have to work over your 45 hours just to get everything done, then corporate is seriously in the wrong! Like this company doesn’t take enough of our lives from us, and now we work for free?? Disgraceful that corporate allows this to go on! I... — read more
Negative feelings run rampant
profit and sales are ok. Making a bunch of money. Could be so much better. Changes needed in leadership.
To Whom It May Concern!
CVS Health is an Insurance Company PERIOD!!!!! Your FS Retail is DEAD!
Demand drop
Anyone else’s demand drop drastically? I lost 30 hours of the week starting 10/20. This is getting ridiculous
Carepass is making customer count go down in stores.
Customers don't want to be bother by sales pitch, donations, text messaging, emails etc.... They are going somewhere else.
More hour cuts
Was told today that starting in January many stores in my district, including mine, will be matching the RX hours throughout the week and on weekends. So, at a minimum we will be losing 20 more hours a week. That's in addition to the 23 we lost this... — read more

Scarepass
It’s not carepass... it’s scarepass. Managers are making it sound like we have to scare customers into joining otherwise our jobs are at stake. Thoughts?
ACO
Who has ACO’s and how many hours did they lose from demand?
New rumors
I can’t believe there aren’t more rumors posted here after the big meetings. Usually people post all kinds of stuff that they heard about at the meetings on what’s coming and what’s changing. This year seems lame.
Performance Counseling on Carepass
Has any other district been harassed about not meeting your goals on carepass? In our district, you have to be on a call everyday if you don’t meet your goals. During today’s call we were told that if we are on the call 2 weeks in a row... — read more
Write up for carepass
What do you think of my manager writing me up for not getting any sign ups? The other people at my store are getting enough so we hit our daily target. Do I have to sell these to keep my job? All he talks about is carepass.
Total Rewards 2020?
Your thoughts? Is this a good thing or not?

Our RD said he wants every last customer using the aco’s. Regular registers are only to be used for when the aco’s have lines. Now you guys know his orders are probably coming from corporate, so read into this however you want, but is cvs trying to... — read more
Cvs is hot.
Look I know the front store has taken a beating on terms of hours and help. But right now the stock is smoking...63 again. You should be thankful. Your senior leaders may be able to buy that awesome yacht. Oh and by the way you have a customer... — read more

The goals set by the company are realistic.
I’m not a fan of field leadership quadrupling the targets thinking if the bar is set high we will maximize the sign ups. They think it will sound cute when they tell their bosses that they set high standards for the team. The opposite is true... — read more
Amount to be paid question
My store had a no call no show so I went in for a hour until we got someone else to come in. Am I suppose to be paid for 3hours? I am in MA.
Off site Flu clinics
Are Pharmacist required to work flu clinics on their off time? It seems like they want us to work flu clinics on our off time and then still come in and work our normal shift afterwards. Does anyone else have and thoughts or experiences with this?
Carecrack!
I am losing my mind with this constant pressure to sell these stupid membership. Someone please take me out of my misery!!!
payroll lost
District sent 30 people to a relocated store that isn't even open because a guy from Corporate came to see the store. Spent hours needlessly. should have gone to the old store to review the LACK OF ANYTHING ON SHELVES FOR CUSTOMERS. Layoffs!
