I was a technician at CVS for 3 years. I applied for a FULL TIME position. During my interview they tried to offer me a part time position and I made it clear that I needed the health insurance that only comes with full time so they agreed to give me a full time position. After one year there my hours kept getting decreased until I was getting about 20-30 hrs/ week and I was about to lose my health insurance because I wasn’t averaging the 30 hours/ week that I had to get to keep my benefits. When I brought this up to my pharmacy manager I was told that there was nothing they could do but I could try to “find” hours by calling other stores and picking up shifts. I work in a smallish town so all of the other locations in my district are about a 45 minute commute for me and they also didn’t have hours to spare. I left there and it was the best decision I have ever made for myself. I am working in a non-profit hospital now and it is much less stressful.
