AmerisourceBergen Reviews

Pros

Great benefits and a sufficient amount of vacation hours. They feed you and sometimes there are rewards... sometimes. They are truly trying to understand their employees with surveys. They are trying to make the job a more stable and family, fun oriented place.

Cons

Management doesn't understand how to balance personal and work life. You work long hours and low pay. Somethings aren't kept confidential.

Pros

Hundreds of locations. Awesome and varied benefits. Good pay. Great connections. Many opportunities. Valuable stock.

Cons

Still experiencing merger/legacy issues from about 10 years ago. Very large company that can be stifling for some with it's strict approach to many issues. Management style can be uptight.

Advice to Senior Management

Allow for more work flexibility options.

Pros

ABC plays a critical role in maintaining the lowest possible healthcare costs by distributing pharmaceuticals and related products in the most efficient manner possible. The people are incredibly dedicated to this mission.

Cons

A new CEO is bringing in the same team that resulted in Bergen being sold to Amerisource back in 2001 at a time when Bergen was much larger. An aggressive international expansion plan will put the core distribution businesses at risk, resulting in lower than anticipated revenues.

No fat in the budget, everyone is a multi tasker, makes the time go by quickly

Advice to Senior Management

Keep looking for ways to improve

Pros

Workplace was attractive, safe and clean.

Cons

A sterile, cold environment. My department turned over 100% in a year. There was much buzz in the company about their gross profit - which was grand. Net profit? Not so much - razor thin.

Pros

-great people and really friendly culture

Cons

-not a lot of opportunities for growth or career development
-slightly behind competition in terms of innovation

Advice to Senior Management

-very top heavy organization, and knew of a few people whose jobs were almost obsolete

Pros

Excellent benefits, good salary, great co-workers, great industry (especially during a recession).

Cons

In the past year decisions to promote at Corporate have been based on factors other than competence and experience. Big egos abound despite suffering performance. We recently lost our CFO who was one of the most phenomenal and ethical leaders we had. Announcement today notes RVP for the East region is being transferred to Corporate Sales Leadership position. That is great news for his region but very disappointing news for sales across the organization. We've lost so many good people recently due to poor leadership and our results and morale have suffered.

Advice to Senior Management

Current leadership is not open to advice.

Advice to Senior Management

Promote from within more, it takes too long for some to learn the culture

Management sometimes a little unprofessional.
