another CVS question ^_^

Members don't see this ad.

im wondering if someone can tell.
i figure everyone in my district has gotten a phone call and invite to have an annual review with the district supervisor, but i have heard nothing from my supervisor. so i wonder if i should bug him to meet up for the annual review? what are the chances that i will not get a pay increase b/c of this absent notice?

trust me you will have your annual interview- mine was a little late this year, but if you don't have it by August then I will bug him, but it MUST be done once a year.

Dont expect anything either. They got so stingy with the raises. If you are making over 65, you will be getting zip.

I dont know what the hell the tops are thinking on this one. I understand the economics of it but I am a firm believer that employees are what makes the company successful. I know that if my raise is cap... and cap for the next few years because I make more than that, I will not be working as hard to recieve "exceed expectations" because there is no incentive for me to.

Also, how do you guys feel about the new CEO Larry Merlo and the new guy they brought in from Macy to run the retail division? He isnt even a RPH.

No need for an RPh to run the place...keen business sense w/ experience (and connections) is all that matters to the folks running the place. No wonder they're performing so poorly

Yes, CVS sucks...Oh sorry that wasn't the question.

Salary caps are based on market area, but yeah the practice really does suck and is not good for the company long term. I was happy to get 4.5% this year, but that is because the store is one of the best in the region. My partner who is PIC got shafted pretty hard and I think it is shameful for him to not get an increase considering what he has done for the company.

i agree with an earlier post. CEOs should have some degrees in the business they're running to be successful. the previous yahoo CEO for example had an accounting degree and it suits their business model. we definitely need an RPh with MBA dual degree.

Walgreens CEO was an rph for a couple years. Look how they're doing lately! I don't think the degree should matter, the person's work ethic should. If you find someone who is concerned about the employees and having the company function to the best of its abilities rather than just making the shareholders happy, you have a winner. Sadly those aren't the same thing these days.

The CEO doesn't have that much power okay? People need to understand this. If the CEO does not do what is expected from the shareholders, then the board will just replace him with someone who will.
The only exception to this rule is if the CEO also has a sizable controlling stake in the company (Jobs, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, etc)

Wrong... I got my last two years of raises without interviews.

Do you work at CVS? How do they determine the amount percentage-wise to give you (based on market?/based on district budget? I think raises and stuff like that are part of the district/store's budget lol). This is my first full year as RPH, and I got "exceed expectations" so received a 3% raise. I was satisfied with that. During the annual eval, my sup basically said you're in training to be a PIC lol. But wow 4.5%?

Why didn't your PIC get a huge raise also considering your store is one of the best in the region? Shouldn't the PIC get most of the credit if things go well? My PIC is in training to become a supervisor soon b/c our store is the best in the district.

Supervisors get a dollar amount sign based on their volume, budget, etc and then they divide it among the pharmacists. If you are making 54 and got a 4.5 ($2.43) percent raise, that might be the same as somebody making 65 and getting a 3.5 percent raise.

but congrats warior, 4.5 is high. My raises has gone down over the last few years even though I got EE each year. My pay rate is probably the highest in my district if not in the company though =O.
