Pros

A lot of really great people working to make the culture fun. Health benefits are fine. It pays the bills.

Cons

Lip service to pretty much everything. Empty catch phrases. No upward momentum. They promote people based on personal relationships instead of education and experience. No joke, 20 years of specialized training gets less respect than someone with 0 training but with the company in different positions for 20 years. I was literally told by HR that you could be the best, most accomplished person in the room, say and do everything right, but the company is so relationship based, they will not trust you, listen to you or care. Which begs the question, why hire new people at all? Senior leadership is not willing to learn about new fields and what reasonable expectations look like. There can also be huge salary disparity. We recently learned that one person on our team is paid over $25k less for the same exact job as the rest of us. HR is also a joke when it comes to discrimination and support for those with special needs. If anything, they are very belittling, condescending and overall disrespectful.

Pros

-I had a great team, but some colleagues had horrible ones. Like any large company it really matters who your boss is. -Great vacation package, starting out you get 4 weeks -Good work life balance -I got to travel a lot, which I liked, but I know isn't for everyone

Cons

-It's a large, inefficiently run matrix organization -People avoid ownership of their workstreams and try to put everything on product managers -To get anything done you need to get VP approval. Managers and Directors have no real authority to execute their strategies -The CEO said he isn't worried about Amazon, but Amazon is going to put them out of business -It's a distribution company that's trying to be a manufacturing company, and it does not have the capabilities -The engineering department is completely ineffective and doesn't deliver products on-time, on-budget, or with the design requirements outlined by marketing. Overall, engineering is worthless, need to outsource everything.

Pros

- PTO - Absolutely nothing else

Cons

The enterprise marketing team is pretty much the worst team to be working in. Lack of an organized training curriculum for your job/position, unaligned expectations between enterprise and partner/client leadership, inconsistent tasks/projects/processes across the team, constant and ongoing turnover, and no knowledge constancy/retention, just begins to describe the enterprise marketing team. New leadership was hired for this team, but other than big talk, there's been no change in day-to-day work. She doesn't seem knowledgeable/experienced enough to lead a digital marketing team, and if anything, she seems to have accelerated turnover. She also asked once if my side hustles (which happens outside and after work hours, mind you) are affecting my job performance. All in all awful in terms of career development. If you're entry to mid level in digital marketing, and are considering this team/Cardinal Health, the only advise I can give you is - RUN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
