Pros

Good pay with very good benefits. There are opportunities for promotions if you work for the right senior leaders, in the right geography.

Cons

Too many changes, and the loss of the McGaw Park employees and their knowledge was devastating to the company. There is very little work life balance for leaders or employees. The new HR structure put the workload on already overworked managers and supervisors. Cardinal Health wants to focus on their employees, but they don’t have the structure or leaders in place to make that philosophy a reality. Employees seem to be more and more disgruntled every year, and the changes coming in the next two years will only stretch the depleting resources of the company. Lean Six Sigma has been an excellent tool for the company, but is reducing jobs as the expected cost cutting is realized. There are a few excellent VP’s who are overworked and overloaded and cannot focus on developing the talent below them. There is a group of SVP's and VP's who have a “good ole boys” network that do not listen, and do not promote a positive environment. Unfortunately the good ole boys club stifles new ideas and innovation if you fall outside of their network.

Pros

Pay was good, but bulky salary, with not a large upside with variable comp.

Cons

A real lack of strategic vision, they don't really understand how the markets they serve are changing and therefore lag their competitiors in a big way. Good ol boy network of unimpressive leaders-need to clean house and bring in some outside talent.
