What People Are Saying About CVS/pharmacy

In Short – First opened in 1963 in Lowell, Mass., under the name Consumer Value Stores, this drugstore chain is among the largest in the country. Stores carry a variety of products, from baby supplies, home health equipment and vitamins to toys and greeting cards. Most locations offer Healthy Skin Care Centers, located near the pharmacy, which emphasize beauty as a health issue, and employ a skin care technician to educate customers about European and dermatologist-backed brands like Vichy.

Chain monster nearist to home

Underpaid frequently changing staff (kids w/o knowledge).
Pharmacists & techs dull and not very friendly or helpful (underpaid for area)-
The several Walgreens' are superior (better pay and retention).
I use them ONLY because this one is steps away & my recurring rX's are no brainers, and finally- CVS (like Walgreen's) are everywhere.
- Pros: Close to my home, drive thru rX service
- Cons: mediocre service, unfriendly, mediocre knowledge
