AmerisourceBergen Reviews

Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Very powerful company. Worked there for a few years. Benefits are good.

Cons – Very hostile environment. HR puts complaints under the rug. Management gets away with a lot of favoritism, harassment, humiliation, power-trips and affairs. There is a lot of racism, only white people are hired as management and minorities are treated unfair in the office.

Advice to Senior Management – My advise to the CEO is there is a lot of things going on wrong. Make an anonymous survey. Send undercover employees. Review complaint files, if they haven't already been destroyed. Another suggestion is to put hidden cameras to see this in real time.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at AmerisourceBergen for more than 10 years

Pros – Employee Benefits package is pretty decent.

Cons – Major changes in upper management. The new team is cleaning house by eliminating positions, adding more responsibility to each person and they are bringing in their own hotshot mgmnt colleagues who don't know much about our business model. I've been with the company over 15 years and it has become unrecognizable to me.

Advice to Senior Management – Employee input is no longer needed or wanted. What management says goes...period! The VP's are too blind to see that our customers and clients are not happy with all of their changes.

Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Good benefits, controlled climate. location

Cons – I am sure this is the case at most large companies, but there was rampant favoritism. Last minute notification of manditory overtime. Problems brought to management usually not rectified. No merit raises. No opportunities to advance. Low pay.

Advice to Senior Management – Treat all associates equally. I am not against overtime, but better planning, better management (ie receive product before stocking etc.) would eleviate this problem.

Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Great benefits and a sufficient amount of vacation hours. They feed you and sometimes there are rewards... sometimes. They are truly trying to understand their employees with surveys. They are trying to make the job a more stable and family, fun oriented place.

Cons – Management doesn't understand how to balance personal and work life. You work long hours and low pay. Somethings aren't kept confidential.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen more

Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen

Pros – ABC plays a critical role in maintaining the lowest possible healthcare costs by distributing pharmaceuticals and related products in the most efficient manner possible. The people are incredibly dedicated to this mission.

Cons – A new CEO is bringing in the same team that resulted in Bergen being sold to Amerisource back in 2001 at a time when Bergen was much larger. An aggressive international expansion plan will put the core distribution businesses at risk, resulting in lower than anticipated revenues.

Advice to Senior Management – Stick to your knitting.
