The previous makes a good point and aligns to a recent build the bench and talent conversations at the DL level
The rumor we are hearing 36 stores, one DL and 2 rx sups. Target will be absorbed into the districts and health hub stores would be under a separate dL.
RX Supervisors are the Target DL
Absorbing target stores may be true but this post is fake news.
Last poster was 100% correct. We received talking points and deck this week from our RD. Rural areas will absorb targets and grow district size. Metro areas might be a little more complex. In these areas there might be an increase in districts within a region. But everything 100% going to DL role and aligned by geographically boundaries.
The DL role will assume oversight of the targets in their assigned area which in a very small number of cases may shift a few districts but that is it for 2020
This may actually be true. We were on a division conference call today and the email invitation stated: Regional Directors, District Leaders, RX Supervisors, Store and RX Managers. Are there still RX Sups in certain markets?
They eliminated the RX DL position, why would they bring it back? To do that would mean that corporate would have to admit that eliminating that position was wrong. And cvs corporate NEVER admits their wrong!
Totally untrue. Where would they get qualified front store dl from? They don't even have qualified managers.
Not confirmed, but I did hear something like this from my DL. They essentially have 26-30 stores if you count the pharmacy now. At least they would running a part of the business they are more accustomed to. Unless of course they are former pharmacists in which case they may struggle more.
So they are going back to having a front store district supervisor and a pharmacy supervisor?
Lol very funny. Most DL's can't even handle 12-13 stores and are dropping like flies.
Bull!
