The managers at CVS Pharmacy will be focused on nurturing a positive work environment and a strong team, so they'll offer you feedback on your work and recognition of your accomplishments. Share with the interviewer how you would like credit for your hard work. Perhaps you are the type who enjoys gifts or financial perks. Or on the other hand, you may like to receive public recognition, kind words, or a promotion. You can also include examples of how managers or team leaders have recognized your accomplishments in the past.

"I am very much an over-achiever and find the best way for me to be recognized for a job well done is through words of kindness and recognition. I am easily encouraged, and the best reward is knowing that my hard work is noticed."

"As a sales professional, I am driven by a challenge with a financial perk. Sales contests, for example, are a great way to motivate me. However, I prefer to receive recognition for my accomplishments through acknowledgment and appreciation from those around me. Whether a simple 'thank you' or a more formal recognition, such as an award or promotion, it's nice to know that my efforts are valued and appreciated. Ultimately, the most important thing for me is to feel that I am making a positive impact and contributing to the success of my team and organization."

Well, as a pharmacy manager, I always tried to recognize good work, and I offered feedback to the team and led by example. I enjoy hearing constructive feedback about my performance. During a recent performance review, my supervisor complimented me on my flexibility and willingness to work in a variety of settings. I thanked him and responded that I enjoy working with him as well.

Giving an example of a time when recognition made you feel good is a perfect way to frame this response. Nicely done!
