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.
