Awful work life balance, work every holiday, 10-12 hour shifts mandatory, treated as a number. - Associate II, Warehouse Ops Cardinal Health Employee Review

Pros

Good benefits, compensation is par with other warehouse jobs. Tuition reimbursement available, but if you work nights you won't have the time.

Cons

You're not valued as an employee. You're treated as a number and the job is a revolving door in terms of employee retention. Very poor leadership from management and even worse communication. If you're really good at your job and hope to move to days, don't expect to get to day shift, you'll be too valuable to lose in their sweat shop on nights. They consistently increase performance goals and work you until you get broken down. Take a sick day, get an occurrence, clock in a minute late 1/2 occurrence, 7 occurrences and your fired. You have to be pretty lousy of an employee to get fired this way though. It's a good job for someone in their late teens to late twenties if you want to give up your life. They say they promote openness to new ideas, but if you disagree with a change and speak about it respectively you will be put under a microscope and worked out of the door. They prefer mutes, that have no opinions. Favoritism is rampid. Some jobs have goals, while others don't. If they want to get rid of you, they easily can. The goals are difficult to obtain every day because of the variables in the pick, so if they so decide, they can put you on a verbal warning, next missed goal, written warning, next missed goal final, and miss it again, see you later. Again very poor management, good luck even spotting the Director, whom doesn't have the slightest idea on what goes on during the night shift, but again you're only a number and can easily be replaced. You've been warned.

Pros

Interesting work: nobody hears this job title without a little curiosity Independent: once you're trained you're mostly given tasks and allowed to work whatever way best suits your needs Unique: you won't find another job that does exactly this in the area Benefits: pretty standard, but kick in on day 1 Growing field: by all appearances, this is a growing field in pharmacy, so job stability isn't an issue Management: Leadership at this location strives to make this a good place to work

Cons

The hours: most technicians will work from 2:30-10 AM. The pay: rate is decent, a little less than hospital rates, a little more than retail, but in general you will be capped at 35 hours a week. Independence: while there is a lot to say about the benefits of working on your tasks alone, there is also little in the way of any real supervision. This means that all interpersonal issues devolve into a one employee's word against another, leaving management reluctant to act. Management: Leadership at this location does its best to make this a good environment to work, but they do it at the expense of holding employees accountable.
