Good organization
Worker (Former Employee), Lauderdale Lakes, FL – April 24, 2013
Most of the employees do not want to be held accountable for their deficiencies in regards to work. As a result, it makes it harder for the people that value their work. Management in all aspects is great but has a lot to overcome with the staff that is under them. The company has high turnover and that is due to the fact that the people hired don't – more... want to put the effort to perform their job responsibilities. Therefore when they leave they are angry and think that something was owed to them. – less

Fast-paced and enjoyed interacting with customers
Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee), Richmond, VA – October 10, 2012
Pros: work schedule
Cons: not being heard by upper management
Constantly learning new ways to get sales. As part of management I was eager to learn and to advance to store manager. I learned that I knew how to perform job tasks that I was not always comfortable with such as setting plan-o-grams and entering data into the computer system for inventory purposes. I enjoyed working with my co-workers because that – more... is where the fun was while getting job tasks completed. The hardest part of the job was unloading the truck. The most enjoyable part was talking with customers and helping them with merchandise. Also, learning how to be an effective leader to get desired results. – less

One of the best copanies I was ever priviledged to work for.
CVS /POD LEADER (Former Employee), South Florida Area – October 8, 2012
All operations were done by the manager which would include payroll,scheduling, training, merchandising, shrink control, ordering, and inventory control.
After being promoted to ASDM I found that the operations of 9 stores was more difficult and required a strict schedule to keep the operations of all on track while still maintaining my home store. – more... The co-workers were eager to help and always volunteered for extra duties. Had it not been for the sale of this company I would still be working for them now. – less

Wonderful when it was still Eckerd
Photo Lab Manager/Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee), Gainesville, GA – October 1, 2012
Pros: store discount plus 20% at jcpenney because they owned eckerd at one point
Cons: management and selling of the eckerd name.
Advancement opportunities were great. I started as a cashier and with in a year was promoted to a key holder. Soon after, this location built a brand new store and it included an Express Photo Lab which I was given. I enjoyed being a salary member of management. I learned more about store operations and dealt with them professionally. The only down – more... side was the store manager. He figured out that they were going to bust him for faking inventory and caused several of his employees to get fired or quit because they questioned things. He also became unbearable to work with. The sense of job security failed when he would make up stories about employees and the district manager would believe him and employees would quit or get fired. Only for the manager himself get fired soon after. – less

This job introduced me to my purpose in life, which is construction.
Remodel Team Associate (Former Employee), West Palm Beach, FL – September 29, 2012
Pros: all expenses paid, perdium pay, traveling, very fun coworkers, great schedules, great employers.
Cons: there were no cons at this job.
All expenses were paid, as my girlfriend and I traveled around remodeling stores' interior. Bosses, and coworkers were a lot of fun, and taught me a lot. The schedule was amazing. When the department was terminated, CVS warned us, paid us severance, and most of us got retainer fees for completing our jobs.

1st Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Powder Springs, GA – September 16, 2012
I enjoyed working at Eckerd. I learned so much with this company from day one, from learning how to run the photo lab up to learning how to run a store by myself.

I think the one thing about this company is that I wass able to move up in – more... the company and I was always learning something new everyday. – less

good company
Photo Department Manager (Former Employee), Norfolk, VA – August 2, 2012
I had a great experience with this company. As a member of management, I was able to hire and train great people and work for even better people. The required 50hour+ work week made having a work/life (school) balance difficult. And there was no overtime compensation - something I disagreed with. However, my experience was positive and would work for – more... this company again. – less
