Cardinal Health reviews

age discrimination; I've applied for over 40 positions in the past year; I've gotten the privildge of pulling in about 15 interviews but didn't get any of the jobs. No real, concrete feedback on why I did not get jobs when asked. People interviewing me were early 30's and I feel like they didn't see how I could "fit in". I did well in the interviews, reciting problem senerios, the impact and how I solved them. Some jobs I had solid, seasoned experience....but did not get the job. It's too bad; I was hoping to grow and stay but I'm giving up. Been there five years. Management team can be very inexperienced and it results in "everything being urgent" cause they are so busy making a name for themselves. And, if you don't communicate that you want to grow towards being a CEO (little exaggeration here), then they won't want you. No such thing as a seasoned employee with excellent work ethics just coming in to do a great job and going home.

Many changes lately includung down sizing that resulted in many very poor decisions at the executive levels. Retention of poor performers (Sacred cows) is an issue here. If one was liked, they were often retained unless the immediate manager took the initiative to remove them. It was not in the culture from top down at all. Hair drug testing is another negative, and to me is unacceptable. I am not a drug user, but conceptually, what I do on my time is my business.Testing for metabolites of something one may have taken 80 days ago while not on the clock is absurd and in my opinion should be illegal. Thus is just one example ofthe lack of decency and common sense used in this organization currently. Its parent company, Syncor, was a very good organization and a pleasure to work for.
