Aetna CVS Health job reviews

  • Best thing

    I'm contributing to something that matters and at the same time, taking the member out of the middle. This combination above all, makes every day worth it.

    Worst thing

    Not having the time to learn more. Knowledge enhancement is an important aspect of moving forward and adapting. I'm not currently able to do that.

    9.4

    Aetna CVS Health Employee, January 2025

  • Best thing

    It's easy to set your own pace and work your preferred hours within reason. The job offers plenty of training, and they'll work with you to make sure your performance never falls below standard instead of immediately resorting to discipline.

    Worst thing

    There are no weekend openings currently, the job can be quite difficult by nature, and health insurance is expensive.
