Pros
Cardinal Health offers industry-competitive pay and benefits. In addition to base pay, financial incentives available to all employees include 401K contribution match and employee stock purchase plans. Other perks include back-up child care and generous paid-time-off (PTO) allowance. The best thing about Cardinal Health's PTO system is that there is no differentiation between the different types of PTOs (sick days, vacation days, floating holidays). Instead, all PTOs are grouped into one big bucket. In other words, if you're the type to never get sick, you can use the time originally allotted for sick days as extra vacation days with no guilt. Dublin, OH, in which Cardinal Health is headquartered, is arguably the nicest part of Columbus, OH. It is meticulously city-planned and has some of the most extensive parks and bike trail systems you'll find in any city. Dublin is only a 20 minute drive away from downtown Columbus.
Cons
Cardinal Health's culture can be a little "button-up", or stuffy. Similar to most big companies, Cardinal Health can at times be bureaucratic and hierarchical. In other words, getting things done may not always be as straight-forward as it should be, especially when cross-functional or cross-divisional work is involved. The new Cardinal Health building next to the existing building is a haven for cubicles. Several Cardinal Health business units will move out of the leased locations that currently house them into this new building upon its scheduled completion in April. There has been some consternation among certain employees, Vice Presidents and Directors included, about moving into cubicles.
