I worked for Walgreens for 12 years in San Diego and 2 years at CVS between 2010 and 2014. CVS in San Diego create an extremely hostile working environment for ALL store and pharmacy employees especially pharmacists. I have been a floater pharmacist for CVS since 2008 and I have seen it all. In 2008, they hired a 30 year old Pharmacy District Supervisor who came in and fired and harassed numerous of older pharmacists INSIDE the pharmacy, using derogatory term regarding their age and performance based on CVS metrics. Terms like you are too old to work or too slow. They wrote up numerous counselings on pharmacists, pharmacist techs daily, weekly and fired them at their wish. They keep moving pharmacists around against their will to other stores and keep replacing with new pharmacy graduates and FORCED them to be pharmacist managers or get fired. They took advantage of the 2007 economic crisis and the abundance of pharmacists to keep threaten pharmacists to comply with their metrics or else face the ultimate penalty of getting fired. I have personally seen numerous of firings of pharmacists, techs on the job without any justifications. The average lifespan of a pharmacy manager is 6 months. Pharmacists are leaving CVS at an alarming rate. The 'don't care" and "it' s me or the "highway" altitude display CVS' arrogance and disrespect for human dignity is beyond imagination.
