    NCO CVS

    I was wondering what the New colleague orientation is like for CVS. Is it all hands-on training or is someone going to go over slides or both? It's 8 hours and they gave me huge stack of papers lol.

    What are the "slow days" in retail pharmacies?

    Are weekends the "slow days"? I heard Mondays and Fridays are the busiest days for retail pharmacies (Walgreens and CVS), but is that accurate? I would prefer to work on slower days, but it really doesn't matter because I'm sure every day is busy.

    I only dropped 3 pills. It was my first time being in production and I just picked them up and set them aside on the table (can't recall if they were being used or not, and I remember the guy who trained me said that it's no biggie to use the spilled pills but if you didn't want to just throw...
