Experience

  • Warehouse Worker - Stocking at CVS Health BVDC
    Jun 2018 - Present · 8 yrs 1 mo

    As of April 2019 I have been contently employed at the CVS distribution center for one year. Unfortunately, volume at the warehouse has taken a dip and getting less than 40 hours for the week. Therefore I'm considering a fresh start elsewhere. Done well here, the distribution center is fully operational and new products have been acquired through efforts of the operational manager. Did a 3 month stint in the Shipping department until a new guy was found. It was strenuous and fast paced work. Presently myself and another are stocking the slots with cases of wine, liquor and other products for the CVS Pharmacy stores. The supervisor of 1 year has transferred away and a new man is being trained for the position. I would really prefer a consistent 40 hour work week throughout the year.
