Business Outlook

Pros

McKesson is a globally known company and there is a wealth of opportunity to learn from the various departments internally.

Cons

Quarterly layoffs. If you make a higher salary, you will be first to be on the list for RIF as they do regular layoffs vs cutting real expenses to keep valuable employees. Also, work/life balance is not great. The company is flexible, but if you work remote, you are looked down upon. The workload is constant and there is no down time, for example, working Saturdays to prepare for a Sunday morning meeting when already putting in a 40+ hour work week.
