Cardinal Health Reviews

Pros – Solid company with good market share

Cons – Compensation below national average, lack of innovation

Advice to Senior Management – If you want to get paid, work somewhere else first with a higher salary

Pros – Corporate is very flexible with work schedules. They offer a good work / life balance. Time off is good and working remotely is acceptable in some areas. Benefits are pretty good. Borderline average.

Cons – Promotions from within will not result in pay increases to the new pay grade. An internal promotion is capped at 5%.
No PTO carryover which means nobody is at work for the last 2-3 weeks of the year.

Advice to Senior Management – Reward your internal candidates with the pay raises they deserve. You are forcing talented resources to look outside the organization to get fairly compensated.
Allow a percentage of PTO to carry over.

Pros – They have multiple locations across the country for relocation. They have multiple divisions that offer additional opportunities, if qualified. They do pay for relocation expenses depending on the position. Also had sign on bonus for certain positions and locations.

Cons – Just remember "Off the record" conversation/information is not "off the record". Loyalty/support is a one-way street. Everything is black and white and there are no exceptions.

Advice to Senior Management – Nothing

Pros – Excellent opportunities, great industry, dynamic, progressive company

Cons – Mid managemen is truly out of touch. Operate using poor management tactics. "Good boy " network in place. Does not truly award & honor high achievers and shows minmal respect to achievers. Lot of inconsistencies throughout organization.

Advice to Senior Management – Be consistent, be fair with all. Show respect o all & not sho favoritism to a select few.

Pros – Big company that provides a sense of job security

Cons – *Everyone is pretty much set in their ways so change is very, very, very difficult - if not impossible.
*There's a culture of protecting yourself against your own colleagues, and sadly I am glad I did because someone tried to get me fired my fidgeting with my reports and her manager just asked me to let it go as if it didn't happened!
*If you're a minority and you get the wrong manager - beware, you may be on your way out the door. I got promoted (from production planning to Sales Support), which was the worst move I've ever taken due to the manager - the reason I quit within a few months of the promotion. I was not the first, nor the last employee under this manager who's a minority that quit - two others followed after me.
*There is no sense of camaraderie or any level of synergy in Presource. Everyone is in their own clicks and each division run like silos, independent of each other.

Advice to Senior Management – *Change of culture that one can be proud of working for is much needed, especially for such a large organization
*Value talent. Nurture and develop talent, and not make cost cutting the only priority. I have seen people get promoted based on face value, and not on merits. That is why I am not surprised that they have lost talented individuals and those who are still there, they are not productive and do not care about their jobs because they are not paid what they are actually worth in the marketplace and the culture of not being valued tremendously lowers their motivation

Pros – It is a great place to work if you happen to like Columbus Ohio
There are some great. long term employees that are very committed to the company

Cons – As the company has grown, it has really lost it's identity as it has hopped on various bandwagons touted by outside consultants.

The company lacks real direction and the revolving door of upper level leaders has hurt morale

Many of the higher level VPs hired from outside of the company are not really committed to the long term success of the company and do not appreciate how important customer relationships are

Advice to Senior Management – Work harder to develop internal talent. Do more to engage employees that are not based in Dublin.
