CVS plans massive hiring surge | LinkedIn
Faced with crippling labor shortages that are hobbling its efforts to serve as a provider of COVID-19 tests and vaccinations, CVS will hire 25,000 new workers this week.
Faced with crippling labor shortages that are hobbling its efforts to serve as a provider of COVID-19 tests and vaccinations, CVS will hire 25,000 new workers this week in a large-scale "hiring spree." The nation's largest pharmacy chain has grappled with "chaotic" scenes at its stores in recent months, marked by enormous lines, poor customer service and staff burnout. Customers have frequently lashed out at CVS employees.
- CVS will host a hiring event on Friday to immediately fill 19,000 open roles and add another 6,000 jobs nationally.
- Walgreens, which is also suffering from staffing shortages, will raise its minimum hourly rate to $15 per hour from next month.
Good news?
