I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at CVS Health (Hartford, CT)
Interview
Met in a retail store. We discussed my background and unique needs of particular location to be filled. Many questions concerning what I could bring to their company. Unfortunately, I got the feeling that there was less concern for my exceptional customer service skills and more interest in keeping the pharmacist isolated in the background doing verification.

Question 1
Why do you want to leave independent pharmacy to work for CVS?
My phone interview experience with CVS was remarkably smooth and straightforward. From the moment we connected, I felt at ease, largely due to the friendly and welcoming demeanor of the district manager on the other end of the line.
Basically just one interview with the district leader. This is contingent on the fact that you have to pass the online test. If you don't pass it then you won't get hired regardless of the interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at CVS Health (Buford, GA) in Mar 2026
Interview
The district manager was very easy to interview with. She is someone I would enjoy working for. The positions she had open were too far for me to drive on a daily basis.
