Cardinal Health Reviews

Pros

the dental and medical benefits are the only good things

Cons

Management is horrible. The only way to get to the top is to honestly suck up which is how some people climb up the rank so fast, even though they have no clue what they're doing. It's not what you know but who you know. They'll change your start time when ever they feel like it. If one of the supervisor or manager don't like you then they'll find a way to get you fired. It's a slave camp with dumb management. They only see you as a number not a person so it's like working for a sweat shop, that's why there's so many people that leave that place. It's like a revolving door. Management has horrible communication skills. The workers morale is at and all time low considering how management runs that place. A happy worker is a good worker.

Pros

flexible time, casual dress and good benefits

Cons

Not much of the career growth...Lack of innovative approach...

Advice to Senior Management

Promote the innovative approach...

Pros

No good reason to work here unless you are desperate and live in the area. They are close to the tollway.

Cons

You have to know someone or be a relative friend or neighbor of an employee to even get your foot in the door. They play favorites, use you, ignore you, make you work as a temp for years, you get passed up for permanent employment by one of their friends, they look for something wrong so they can give you a bad review and not give you more money. They gossip and watch everything you do, when you come in, leave, go to lunch, the bathroom, etc.

Advice to Senior Management

The management is the problem! Get rid of the management that have been there for more than 1 year. They do not care about the hard working employees. There are a handful of gossipy, winey, clicky long time employees that make life horrible for everyone else. The managers make no changes, do not listen to the employees, and take a lot of personal time and do not clock it.

Pros

solid industry
good work life balance
corporate HQ is great facility
easy commute

Cons

limited growth opportunities unless you are in Finance

more and more corporate policies to follow making harder to get important work complete

Advice to Senior Management

stay aggressive with acquisitions

Pros

The benefits are very good. 19 days of paid time off from the start of employment. Medical, dental, and optical programs. Childcare support and numerous other employee benefits. One of the best packages in the industry.

Cons

Everyone is not treated equally, regardless of performance contributions. There is a strong bias for those employees who have been there the longest and who have close friendships with one Operations Manager. Employees who question the visible favoritisms are threatened behind closed doors or quickly removed from office. MySafeWorkplace tip line is not anonymous. That information is also privy to senior leaders. The word gets out quickly.

Advice to Senior Management

Reward your performers and hold everyone equally accountable, at every level. Investigate issues accurately and thoroughly. Do not take your Operations Manager's word alone. He is the sly fox that sweeps the truth under the carpet, smiles, and buys the first round.
