productive and fast paced work environment
Pharmacy Technician (Former Employee), Baltimore, MD. –
Pros: tv in the breakroom, employee discounts, weekly pay
Cons: short breaks, non- flexible hours
It was a fast- paced environment from the entry until the exit. I have learned to do minor mixtures, inventory, pharmacy billing and I have gained great customer service skills through it. It was a nice place to work, and there was great teamwork. The hardest part of the job was having a customer leave dissatisfied, but I truly enjoyed helping the customers.

Challenging and Constantly changing environment.
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee), Silver Spring, MD –
Pros: employee discounts
Cons: mismanagement
A typical day at work involved meeting new people everyday, handling money, giving suggestions to customers when needed, promoting merchandise, and constantly changing from one activity to the next. I learned to better communicate with people. I also learned how to better manage my time.I was not fond of the management because their behavior and attitudes – more...  did not reflect the company's values and principals. I enjoyed working together with different people from different places of the world. I think the most difficult part of the job was having to learn to communicate to different people because people have many styles and ways of communicating. I think that the most enjoyable aspect of the job was the learning experiences i received from that job. – less

Very productive work place
Photo Specialist and Customer Service Associate (Former Employee), Riverdale, GA –
Pros: improve custmer serive skills, oppertunity to move up in position to managment
Management and co-workers were great. This job requires great people skills. Communication was key to success at CVS. Also working in the photo lab required some studying of photo machine’s operation and the chemicals used to process pictures. In addition, a chance to look at sales in the photo lab to find was to increase sales and improve customers’ – more...  satisfaction with services rendered. – less

A Very Mixed Bag Working Here
Cashier/Store Clerk (Current Employee), Chicago, IL –
Pros: n/a
Cons: insufficient and low pay, insufficient hours, no benefits, no promotions, snobby customers
Most of the time, I generally work at the front end of the store (customer service). I am able to get along very well while working here, but the problem is that when things get out of hand and I would need some occasional help, there would be numerous miscommunication issues. I've learned nothing more than just being around people and finding them – more...  very easy to get along with. The management are pretty cool and very easy to get along and work with, even though there are rare occasions when "snobbishness" take effect and they would make me feel "lower than dirt". The hardest part of the job is that I'm not learning anything else new if I really want to, because none of the managers really want to show me that. There's nothing really enjoyable about working at CVS. It is the most depressing place to be working there and the prospective employer would not want me to leave, especially when I'm getting overworked and underpaid at a dead-end job like this. – less
