AmerisourceBergen Reviews

Pros

Fun group of people. good work/life balance

Cons

Management sometimes a little unprofessional.

Pros

The health benefits are decent and the company is not open on Good Friday. Salaries are adjusted to compete with the market.

Cons

Those promoted to management are not trained on how to deal with people; they're just promoted and let loose to do their jobs. Of course, many do not care about actually MANAGING people, they just want the money.

Advice to Senior Management

Spend the dollars and train your management team; if you want to keep the best talent learn how to treat them.

Pros

Excellent Healthcare benefits, especially in this day and age.
This is a company that has a LOT of potential to be a GREAT company, both in relations to it's customers and it's employees but for some inexplicable reason chooses not to-instead distancing themselves from their customers (while playing lip service to how important they are) and treating their hourly employees with less regard afforded to lab rats and farm animals.

Cons

Absolutely no advancement unless you fit their management 'mold'. No diversity in thought, anyone that is not in lockstep with management is viewed with suspicion.

Management is top heavy, ineffectual and apathetic toward their direct reports.

The sames mistakes and problems happen repeatedly with management never taking any responsibility for them or doing anything or looking into the why/how these problems keep occurring and the possibility of changing their processes and procedures.

Salaries are not the greatest, no bonuses for hourly employees (not even token christmas bonuses) despite the fact management receives bonuses for mediocre (at best) performance and the company is doing very well financially in this desperate economy.

Advice to Senior Management

TALK to your customers. TALK to your non-salaried employees. Better yet, LISTEN to them, you just might learn a thing or two.

Pros

Good way to get your foot in the door of the pharmaceutical industry

Cons

Will work you to death

high pay for picking pills

depressing atmosphere.

Pros

Hours are basically M-F 8 to 5. They give you money if they get a favorable sales. They have good dinners and suprise pizza lunches in the warehouse.

Cons

No retirement, you need to get 401 k and save for your own. Benefits is mediocre and it would be nice if they celebrate more holidays, no christmas parties or anything.

Advice to Senior Management

None except quit taking such a high paycheck and work on keeping everyone employed, finding more opportunities to promote within.

BT has horrible hours, most of the middle management has zero management experience. Please don't join SAP team, it sucks. They are blood sucker and will make you work like slaves.

Advice to Senior Management

Salvery is still there!!!

Pros

Amazing benefits (health, employee stock program). I think it is a good starting place for college grads to learn the business.

Cons

There are several different sub divisions of the company, and management styles tend to vary within each division. I would recommend ASD Healthcare or ICS. I would never recommend US Bioservices because of high turn around and poor management.
