Heard they are getting rid of some, if not all, of recruiters. This was a job given to a pharmacist to go to Pharmacy schools and tell them how wonderful CVS is to work for. Set up interviews, hire interns and place grads in jobs. Have dinners for the students, take them to parks in the summer and all the special projects and gifts. Their budget must be 300K to 400K a year counting salary, travel and other costs. Waste of money with the oversupply of pharms.
Told that Merlo believes CVS is top heavy with management and there are not enough people/associates in the stores. Getting rid of the dead weight on top and supposed to put more money into the stores so there is adequate help to get the job done. Smartest person at CVS if the money goes there.
Consolidation of regionals next and will probably filter down to DM's and Pharm supp. I know of a few that should be let go. Have my fingers crossed.
Oh, a Triple S score trick I was told about. When the surveys print out on the register tape you give it to the customer with a Take 5 candy bar. Ask them to "take 5 minutes and call in to have a chance to win and make sure you tell them what a great job we are doing " Stores doing this increased their triple S scores 10 to 20 points because of a "candy Bar". Anybody else think this whole feedback system is dumb? Seriously, a candy bar.
