I am a shift and have been with this company about 8 years. I make the same as a cashier since the April raise went into effect. At least I did get a raise to 11.00. I do not turn on my furnace in the winter or my AC in the summer. Being single it is... — read more
What will happen for dual role colleagues
Will current shift supervisor RXs be getting a higher raise than shift supervisors or techs? Since they do both I feel they should be started off higher. What will the new title be?
Fortune 500 and CVS
Anybody else finds it shameful that CVS made it into Fortune 500 top 10 once more over the backs of its employees? Growing revenues, growing profits, and what do we get for it? Layoffs, more work and fewer hours. Oh, and not to forget, constant worry... — read more
A CVS of the future
What will a CVS look and be like in a few years? Will it be a clinic type environment or look the same?
So what about 6/11???
Poster throws a cryptic “save the date” grenade then disappears. Let’s have some details if you know so much.
Aetna whistleblower
Aetna whistleblower, who says CVS gouged Medicare and Medicaid customers, is put on leave
Details of today's phone calls
Can we please have somebody share what was said during this morning's call after it takes place? I'm so nervous about the possible rumored changes that I barely managed to sleep at all. I would be really grateful if somebody would confirm or deny if... — read more
New rumor can anyone confirm
So the rumor I have heard is that stores will be required to have a certain number of shifts per store, the title will change and we will have to interview for our job as there will only be so many positions in our store. Those that are chosen must... — read more
Incoming changes
Clerks are going to $12, RX tech to $14, shift supervisors to $14 plus 2% for every year of service. I think there’s a cap on that but not sure what it is. Also the official elimination of titles such as photo tech, photo supervisor, head cashier... — read more
Save The Date! 6/11
Coming To Front Store
Rumors
Hearing rumors of another restructure coming soon. Anyone else?
Arizona
Wondering what crazy plans the leadership team are working on now at Arizona conference. “You are doing a great job, you matter, don’t worry about those SM holes, a monkey can do that job, don’t worry about the stock price, it’s all relative”
Shortage
Not sure if it's all district but seems to be a manager shortage out there. The bench is full of unless Smits for replacements.
Engagement Survey
The survey is around the corner. Its the stores only time a year to really show the corporate office how we feel. CVS loves numbers, maybe if these numbers come back real and not faked they will see how miserable store level employees really are. I... — read more
We are doing online retailers a favor
We further thinned our anorexic ranks. We restructured our infrastructure at field level into chaos. We say offer help and walk to item although demand says differently. We continue to shift and mount stress to the lowest levels where customers see... — read more
Walmart changes their Rx plan
After all of these layoffs, Amazon announces they are no longer entering pharmacy. Imagine how many jobs could have been saved if Amazon would have just admitted from the beginning that they couldn’t have gone down this road? Sad.
It's quiet
Any updates on soon to come changes .. ??? And where is all the mass exodus Y'all expected???
Asset Protection
Has anyone seen the new AP audit? New baseline and pulse checks. We got a preview today and let me tell you it dont look pretty for the SM/STL team. Lots and lots of accountability included. Here we go
Is it true that only NON union employees are seeing the bump up?
I'm a tech and my pharmacist told me that if you are at a NON union store, which is 90% of them in our state, then you get NO raise. Ask to see the message. They tell the RPH not to tell their employees.
There is greener grass on the other side.
For any of you that are thinking of getting out I would challenge you to really consider your options. I left in February, yes before bonuses, and yes before stock options (which it was my year to have some vest). I was offered a job that payed a... — read more
Hiring of Minors in the Northeast
Does anyone know why we don't hire minors? I can't find a policy on it anywhere, my DL and hiring agent doesn't know why we don't allow it but just say "No" when I ask. Doesn't make any sense. Who can we call for this?
What's happening at CVS in April?
So many people here are mentioning April as the time when something big will happen, but nobody actually clarifies what that big thing is supposed to be. I'd be satisfied with a simple big good thing or big bad thing, just to know what to prepare... — read more

No pay increase for pharmacy managers!
Has anyone had their review this year? Looks like there is no raise to be had. And....most Pharm managers have reached their max! How is that possible!? Apparently with the new structure managers reached the peak of their earning potential!
CAR and Refunds
Doe's anyone get fired anymore for refunds or anything else on the CAR? It just seems like LP is not catching anyone like they used to. Managers just pencil whip those reports to be compliant. I remember when lp used to be in the stores investigating... — read more
