About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and help deliver safe, accurate, and timely prescription fulfillment and caring service to patients. They follow company standard operating procedures and pharmacy workflow across workstations, including production, pick-up, drive-thru, and drop-off. Technicians are often the first point of contact for patients and contribute to a safe, inclusive, and engaging team environment through attentive service and effective communication.
