Estefans, CVS Team Up For Jobs

• As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to challenge the hospitality and restaurant industries, Miami-based Estefan Enterprises, owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan announced that they will partner with CVS Health to match up to 300 of their displaced workers in South Florida, Orlando and Vero Beach with immediate employment.

In order to curb the spread of COVID-19, many Estefan owned-and-operated establishments, such as Estefan Kitchen Miami Design District, Larios On The Beach Ocean Drive, Estefan Kitchen Orlando, The Wave at Costa d’Este in Vero Beach and the Cardozo South Beach hotel have all been temporarily closed with the exception of offering take-out and delivery.

Emilio Estefan said, “We’ve all been faced with making very difficult and unfathomable decisions as we navigate our way through this crisis. Gloria and I are doing everything in our power to find opportunities for our employees and we are very grateful to CVS Health for partnering with our companies.”

Estefan employees have already been placed in CVS Health’s screening process and should be matched up with jobs within the next 24-48 hours. This partnership is part of CVS Health’s recent announcement on its accelerated plans to fill 50,000 full-time, part-time and temporary roles across the country. Roles include store associates, distribution center employees and member/customer service professionals, including positions at CVS Pharmacy, CVS Pharmacy y Más and Navarro Discount Pharmacy locations.

Ahmed Velez, Region Director of CVS Health, remarked, “At a time when the hotel and hospitality industry is facing its most significant challenge, we are proud to be part of a community of leading companies lending a hand in these unprecedented times. Team members at Estefan Enterprises are a ready and well-trained workforce, and we can see them helping us address the urgent and significant demands of this community.”
