Pros

Some real talent! Cordial people. Great to have onsite cafeteria. With their town halls, I believe senior management makes a real effort to communicate. Between the Dublin infrastructure and Chicagoland's ability to attract world class talent the two campus structure really works. Process driven. Agree with a lot of the other reviews that the paperwork is tremendous but, it's necessary because it includes the optimal steps to accomplish tasks that a lot of people worked very hard to get right (fully compliant, recognized within both CAH's and its customer's systems, GPO pricing, reach every call point, forecasted so we have product in the distribution center, etc.). The training that went into category management brought some new practices across the business and a near unified team in terms of implementation.

Cons

Because of the international product development pipeline and the supply chain, the need for frequent nightly phone calls can cause long hours. Most of us understood and assumed that our efforts were recognized. Pay is below average compared to other medical distribution or medical device companies. Lot of 30-40 something ticket punching, know it all, Director's and VP's who can't identify a single staff member they've developed to a higher level. While they bring some excellent tools to the organization it's hard to measure the impact of them complaining about their boss's title over drinks when the required annual review and semi-annual goal setting is the only time they will discuss career development with their own direct reports. Nepotism rules! Promotions are awarded based upon who you know rather than how you performed. Recognition for hard work is sometimes stolen-besides upper management presentations where credit was claimed I heartbreakingly witnessed a company award go to an individual for entirely someone else's work.

Pros

Great training process. Extremely thorough training process. The company stands for great values, consistent encouragement of all employees to further their careers.

Cons

Working as a contractor should allow for greater chance of being brought on full time. Very un-transparent of open possibilities. Little effort to help you network and further your career. All talk, no walk.
