      For a big company it a good place to work with opportunities to move up if you are willing to relocate

      Pros

      It is a stable company, over 175 years old. It is in the healthcare industry and so with an aging population this industry continues to grow. They are the industry leader in most areas of their business and are always looking for ways to improve through various means. Their health care coverage, while not the best around is better than many other companies.

      Cons

      Sometimes work/life balance can be a challenge. Some employees are resistent to change and this can make long-term improvements difficult. The pay is decent but nothing to write home about.

      Great potential, great people, messed up management

      Pros

      Meaning full work that provides improved patient safety which in turn saves lives.

      Cons

      Upper management doesn't have clarity in decision rights, so messages are confusing, inconsistent, and at times contradictory. This in turn produces inefficiencies in operations and dissatisfaction in the workforce. While integrity and respect are two of the stated core values of the company, all too often management fails to be honest about performance evaluations or appropriately judging the value of its people. Accountability seems to be missing. When management gets things wrong, the heads that roll are those of the workers below rather than the management. In other words, poor management is not held accountable, but rather the one's executing the (mismanaged) strategy are held at fault.

      McKesson is just OK.

      Pros

      Huge corporation with decent amount of opportunity to move around. There are quite a few people who have been working since the HBOC days and they are pretty content with the place. There is quite a variance between departments and business units so life can greatly differ depending on where you are within McKesson.

      Cons

      Like any large corporation, the amount of politics can be overwhelming. If you are an individual contributor it probably won't affect you that much as it does while in management. The benefits are OK, base salaries in line or a bit lower than market rates. Again, this can vary depending on department, manager, etc.
