About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and service excellence in retail locations. They help ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately; follow standard operating procedures and pharmacy workflows; and provide caring service as an often-first point of contact for patients and customers.
