They track everything. DO NOT use this job as an entry level IT job. - Technical Support Representative (RSSC) CVS Health Employee Review

Pros

You do get two 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch.

Cons

Training covered the basic hardware/software that you will be working with, but lacked in training for the actual job. They track everything. If you go to a restroom break, every second of that has to be logged. If you are seconds late from lunch, that is logged. You have to work one weekend day a week. You will work past your end time every single day. Because if you are scheduled to get off at 5:30, and it is 5:29, and a call comes in, you have to take that call. Every week has a different start time, so your schedule does not stay the same. You also have a different weekday off every week. I would never recommend this job to anyone trying to get into IT. You would be much better off focusing on building relevant skills to whatever IT job you want. You will not gain much relevant experience in this job.

Pros

I learned a lot working there as far as how to run a business as well as how to develop a team. I had one of the most successful teams in the company ranking as the top store year over year in two separate markets, one in the Northeast one in the Southeast. I was a paragon winner with the company as well. My most recent DM was very supportive. I genuinely thank them for the opportunity and the knowledge that I acquired while working with them.

Cons

Work hours were excessive. To be successful hours worked were borderline slavery. While I willingly worked them to be successful, the week you didn't you were immediately behind. Vacations were almost non existent due to constant visitors from corporate stopping in to do reviews. Holiday weeks were paid 4 days regular 1 holiday and you worked all 5. The facade of the stores looking great when these people stop by versus the reality of the business is polarizing. There were always teams of people and excessive expenditures of payroll thrown into stores prior to their visits. While I understood the need to make an appearance, it was always will always be a backwards way off thinking. Company preaches quality of life for their clients while quality of life for their employees is non-existent. As a "manager" in your average store you will be "managing" a total of one person during your shift, with a total of 10 people at location. Location open hours will exceed total payroll hours ie Sun-Sat 7am-10pm = 15hrs per day x 7 days x 2 people = 210 hrs which excludes the need to have a person unload deliveries that come in during non opened hours. Your budgeted hours will be approximately 208 hrs. I will only mention that during the month of December that there are extended hours for the stores but no budgeted hours to accommodate. Stores are held to strict shrink targets with little to no control over external theft. Remember 2 people at location, if four people enter to steal there is nothing you can do to stop them. These are facts not personal prejudices.
