Is CVS Pharmacy a good company to work for as a certified pharmacy technician?

Jamie V. asked:
I’m currently a PTCB certified and Texas state certified Pharmacy Technician and have been so for a year. I’ve work at Wal-Mart pharmacy for over 2 years now. My current pay is $9.50 per hour. Our company does not allow overtime (we get reprimanded if we even go over a couple of minutes) and our district manager is insisting we cut our working hours while extending our pharmacy hours. They also want us to shorten our patient wait time which may be impossible if we can’t have as many employees working at a time. Obviously I’m not too happy with the management and the way they do things. The only thing keeping me there is my other coworkers, they are like a family. So my question is, how does CVS treat their employees? What kind of management and benefits do they have? I know I most likely would start out at a minimum of $11 per hour at CVS but they stay open a little later than my current place. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

The worst than any other retail pharmacy.
