CVS Employee Reviews for Shift Supervisor

"I worked for CVS Health for 4 years. I started out as a cashier and worked my way up to a Shift Supervisor. During my time with CVS, I learned the value of a team and how to really come together as a tight unit to complete any task. The managers that I worked side by side with on a daily basis were always encouraging and ready to give feedback when needed. Every team member went noticed for their right and wrongdoings. If something needed to be fixed we would come together to find a solution. There was never a task too tall for our small team. Everyone knew their role and were put in a position to succeed every day."

"I've worked with CVS Pharmacy going on 9 yrs. I have learned a lot."

"Single worst job I ever had. Requests for transfers are subject to dm approval, don't plan on moving up unless you're in a store that performs well. I work in a store in a cracked out neighborhood, and am constantly questioned on shrink problems. Before that neighborhood I was working on my promotion. We are scheduled < 200 hrs a week. Only 2 ASMs left in my district. Hours have been cut every year since I started, and sales goals have increased. Stock prices up... shift = 9.00/hr... nonnegotiable."
