Pros

Not micromanaged. Learn new things and they do promote from within.

Cons

Incompetent employees that are trained over and over again are kept on board. They cant assist customers and can't pull their work load. They recently off shored the finance team to India. They are moving positions to the new corporate office in Dallas.

Pros

Easy work. Great job if your looking to help people live a healthy life. A lot of nice people who care. Promotions & job opportunities within the company depending on what department you’re in.

Cons

The team I was on was unprofessional. Kaedy was the Superviser she was very unprofessional and shows favoritism if your not a friend getting a promotion or moving up the chain is not happening. More talking in this department than work. A lot of mess with team members just clearly unprofessional unlike other teams at Mckesson, For a corporate office the dress code is not enforced. You start as a temp & it takes years to get hired.

Stay away - ICARE = Dont Care

Supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay wasn't bad for the area.

Cons

No set hours - Work till done. If you don't hit target you get written up until you are termed. Associates get old with years of service and they expect same output. You are not valued and they will have your job posted before your family can post your obituary. Greedy company for top executive payouts.
