Pros

Cardinal Health is one of the premier companies in the Health Care Industry and provides tremendous opportunities for employees willing to work hard. Cardinal is very open to moving employees across different functions which provides employees to develop both the breadth and depth to move into senior management roles.

Cons

One of the challenges is the dynamic nature of the health care industry and constant changes can be disconcerting sometimes. The other challenge is the lack of training for employees.

Cardinal - The biggest US company you've never heard of...

Business Outlook

Pros

Cardinal is in an industry that is stable.

Cons

Cardinal Health is a huge company with over 80 billion in yearly sales revenue... yet 9 out of 10 people on the street know nothing about Cardinal because it does not service the consumer market. Beyond Cardinal's base business (80%) of pharmaceutical and supply distribution, Cardinal was built on acquisitions. Each company used to operate autonomously under the Cardinal umbrella until 2002. The transition for employees to a single "Cardinal Health" company has been difficult - - new benefit plans, information systems etc.
