Pros

Pay was average. Benefits were good. Team cohesion was good. Work/life balance good. Laid back and good communication amongst team. Opportunity to learn about different areas of the company.

Cons

The major downside is being worthy of promotion but getting passed up time and time again because of politics or not being in the "in" crowd. You can do everything right and be in the right place at the right time and have someone from a different area of the company steal a promotion because it is about who you know and patting each other on the back. Other downside is the job got to be too routine at times and became boring. Some managers micromanaged to the bitter end and that made it difficult to own anything. Another downside is the program for kids fresh out of college. If you participate in this program and complete it, then you can get just about anything you want--including promotions before other non program talent, even if that talent (myself) had many years of total experience.

Pros

- Decent Benefits - Overall nice people - On site cafeteria

Cons

Beware of misleading "Enterprise IT" or EIT job titles at Cardinal Health, I worked there for six months and regret it. I only worked there because there were no jobs in the area during that time. If you're looking to work in their Information Technology department read below and avoid this place at all costs. Bullet Points: 1) They misrepresent their job titles and role descriptions. For example: EIT End User Analyst, Password Resets - basically means CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE in the real world. You follow phone scripts and can't be creative or you get yelled at. 2) Micromanagement: They monitor everything you do... For example, if you miss just one call and they yell at you sweatshop style. Very unprofessional. 3) Since this place is basically a call center they have the same crazy rules as other call centers regarding attendance and promotions. Saddest point was seeing talented people with Bachelors Degrees and Masters work at a fake IT call center such as Cardinals.They all dream of getting that job promotions but nope, that won't happen unless you work there for 2 years or more or suck up to the bosses there. In conclusion if you're looking to work in their IT Department, run for the hills! Avoid this place at all costs. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
