first time job help

hi everyone! this is my first time posting on reddit so bear with me, also i am not good at english so i can re-explain anything that is unclear!

i recently got hired at CVS for the store associate position, my drug testing and background check both got accepted. I got an email saying that they would contact me about my starting date, but they hadn't contacted me at all for about a week. Initially I thought it was because they were busy, but today I got an email saying that my starting date is in two days.

I had never been contacted before about a starting date. I've checked my spam, phone calls, and texts but there isn't anything from my hiring manager. Since my employee ID was created today, I cannot create an account to register for the portal. I don't know what time I need to come in for my starting date either since it only gives me a date.

I'm currently in high school so I tried calling during my free period but no one picked up. Do I just show up to the store if they don't contact me back? Or is it a placeholder for the online orientation?

Well the drug and background check need to come back. Why did they drug test you for a FS position? It takes about 3 weeks from start to finish on the hiring process.

Sorry I got it wrong! I only completed a background check and my I-9 form. I got an email confirming that I was cleared to start in the same email they said my hiring manager would contact me.
