Pros

Largest Healthcare Provider in N. America, great people for the most part and solid leadership at the executive level.

Cons

Decisions can be made in a silo sometimes, executive class is pretty insulated from the real day to day with those in the trenches. Big company = Slow decisions, technology is lacking here.

Pros

Not really feeling any love for McKesson. They dropped the bomb this morning that 815 people are being laid off.... we have been asking about this for 5 months on my team, as the team was being dissolved and actively they avoided giving ANY information and just said they were trying to place everyone. THEY LIED TO US and so people came in this morning, had a meeting and were told to go home. I asked HR to send out a reminder that we have Employee Assistance for those in emotional distress and the HR lady was unhelpful "its online' she said. NO COMPASSION.

Pros

Company size and financial status is impressive, and it's easy to get lured in by that. Flexible work hours and telecommute is an option. New facility in Irving is really nice.

Cons

Very deceptive processes involved with disciplinary action, and blindsiding is common. It is extremely difficult to fit into the "cliques" and your manager will most likely NEVER have your back in any situation. Whomever the accuser is, they are always right; and you neither get to face you r accuser or defend yourself. I was "released" without ever being written up for anything, even though my attendance was flawless. 1 or 2 of my accountabilities wrote something negative on a client survey, and I was gone. No Performance Improvement Process; not even a week to get my business wrapped up. I was released at 10am on a Monday. By Noon, I was no longer an employee. Awful treatment throughout uppoer management and leadership on the HR side. Some of them lived in other states and met me once or twice, yet their subjective impressions cost me my livelihood. They even tried to block me from getting unemployment when I requested it: They lost, of course.
