Pros

The benefits package is better than most. 401K contribution is above average. Company contributes an additional 3% on top of matching the first 4% as well as additional contributions to a health savings account. There is a lot of flexibility with the job and ability to telecommute. The company is large enough that if you are willing to relocate you have the ability to pursue other careers within the company. They reimburse for all tuition to further your education and put an emphasis on additional training. Overall Cardinal Health is probably a good place to start a career but probably not a place where you would want to stay for the long term.

Cons

Their salary structure is horrible and the changes that have been made recently to their human resources department are atrocious. Upper management doesn't really seem to have a clue to the internal problems that run rampant through individual departments. The corporate structure is such that you have to weed through multiple layers of departments to find the right person to help you get a simple job done. A lot of the time requests are submitted and closed without ever having the work get completed.

Pros

- Good benefits - Easy training - They strive to understand how to get someone to their fullest potential

Cons

- No concrete track for promotion, to the point that it seemed impossible - They will not listen to their workers - Management on-site and higher up are very lazy - They will expect you to do the work that they schedule, even if it is impossible to complete - From the perspective of my role in quality control, it seemed impossible to make management, and also production in general, understand the time it takes for certain procedures and tests to be completed and reviewed. - Our entire site is getting shut down, and they are just now ramping up production to meet quotas and schedules. While, at the same time, keeping our severance estimations as vague as possible. - Low to no incentivization for anything
