Hey everybody -
I got a call yesterday from the CVS just down the street from me offering me a job as a tech. I'm going to be working part-time evening and weekends (I already have a full-time job and I really just want a few hours for pocket money and retail experience). If all the paperwork goes through I'll start next week. The PIC was impressed with my undergrad and grad work, plus the fact that I am applying to pharm school. She's starting me out at a higher wage than most of the techs because even though I don't have any retail experience, she thinks I have better sense than other people she's interviewed and she's confident that I can pick things up quickly.
I'm heartened by her confidence in me, but I still have misgivings. My main worry is that I've heard some not-so-nice stories about working as a tech at CVS. This will be my first retail job, so I expect to be a little overwhelmed at first. Can any CVS veterans give me any tips about working there? Is there anything that I should know about ahead of time?
Thanks a ton!
