About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and service excellence in retail stores. They are often the first point of contact for patients and customers, helping ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately while providing caring service. Technicians follow company standard operating procedures, pharmacy workflow procedures, best practices, and applicable laws and professional standards. They contribute to a safe, inclusive, and engaging team culture and communicate effectively with patients and colleagues.
