Pros

In a large company like Cardinal Health (3,000 employees in Columbus, Ohio alone and 600 locations nationwide), there are plenty of different jobs and places to go for those that like a challenging work environment. Lots of job opening and opportunities for advancement in the Columbus headquarters.

Cons

They can't see to get their act together and focus. While benefits are good, they underpay and the merit raise process is terrible. If you barely meet your expectations, you get a 3% raise; if you are one of the hardest working people in the company, 5% raise. For non management, and even to some degree lower and middle management, there is absolutely no incentive to work hard.

Pros

If you are a morning person (i.e. 2 am until 10 am) you can get your work done early, however, you rotate to days which throws off your routine. The benefits are good and their seems to be some room for growth. The drugs are simple to familiarize with and they are only a few to know.

Cons

Radiation exposure, laws and regulation regarding the transport of such items.

Pros

Cardinal is a large company so there are a variety of positions available. The benefits are very competitive with a great 401k matching.

Cons

Information sharing at Cardinal is horrible. The company is basically a holding company for many different businesses that have been purchased independently. While they are trying to become "one cardinal", information sharing is dismal. For instance, if I want to know all the cardinal business taking place at one customer, there is no way for me to know this. There is no corporate-wide CRM. For a company this size, I believe it's one of the reasons why we are not more successful. As in many companies, advancement is less a factor of skill than it is corporate politics.
