Pros

Provides excellent healthcare market experience.

Cons

All-consuming. McKesson does not recognize need for work/life balance; therefore prefers younger workers that have the drive and dedication to work 24/7. Takes products to market too soon to fend off competition. Employees feel no job security as major reorganizations occur at minimum each fiscal year start, but often 2 or 3 times each fiscal year. McKesson's senior management lacks continuity from frequent reorganizations. Being completely driven by Wall Street, there's a culture of "shoot first" by reorganizing and terminating when forecast isn't met rather than invest in products and employees for long term growth.

Pros

Great people willing to take time to help and teach new things, great experience, learned a lot about pharmacy

Cons

The company seems very disjointed among business units. There isn't really a "One McKesson" even though they are making efforts to change this. It's almost like there are several small companies under the "McKesson" title but they don't work together or communicate at all.

Pros

Office is in the basement, but good work from home policy, and free bus pass. People are good but since most are telecommuting don't see them often

Cons

Typical big corp, our most valuable asset is our people, until we don't need them, also firm is pretty cheap, wait 3 months for insurance - only manager level get bonuses
