NABINA SHRESTHA MGT 220 Prof. GEORGE GONZALEZ 03/18/2014 Subject: CVS Pharmacy in the business world Talking about my topic, CVS Pharmacy is one of my favorite retail store that I almost visit every day. CVS pharmacy would be the best place where I would love to spend some of my leisure time; its the favorable spot for the time pass. One of the main reason that drives me crazy towards CVS pharmacy would be my blessing of being a woman and my obsession of looking pretty. I am so much into make
CVS is a well known corporation around the world that offers an easily, accessible pharmacy service to millions of those who need their prescriptions fills and advice.

For me to set a foot
Walgreens appears to be well below those within the same industry. CVS on the other hand is above the industry average of %9.52.

we also work together when things need to be accomplished. Getting a new job is always an adventure; normally, I walk through the door on the first day with fresh eyes and a fresh mind. That is exactly how I entered my first day at CVS Pharmacy (later to be known as CVS Health).
