Cardinal Health Reviews

Pros

Great culture & leadership to work for professionally, but also personally who cares about your work life balance.

Cons

With large companies there are always internal struggles.

Pros

Challenging experience, but great place to learn how to navigate & succeed in an FP&A role for a big company

Cons

Total comp is about 5-10% less (estimate) than competitors in space. Bonus payout not 100% multiple years. Merit not that great considering the economic challenges (been a thing since I started). Not all positions created the same. Med side (you can google this side of Cardinal Health for context) or COE (consolidation) roles can be very challenging. Getting to director level + positions can be very difficult (even with lots of experience internal to Cardinal). Can get VERY siloed.

Pros

Pretty good culture, management ideas are a little outdated. It is still a hierarchy. Senior management has the right ideas. PD and Corp seem to be doing well. Benefits are great, lots of remote work and unlimited PTO. They hire great people. I like everyone.

Cons

Senior management is fresh and implementing lots of change that is needed and will benefit in the long run. Mid managers are struggling to implement. Internal groups are in conflict right now fighting over budgets. Cross functional collaboration feels low right now. Hiring is stagnant, it is difficult to get approval to open a job requisition. I would like to stay but I will leave if I can't find a good role or stretch assignment. I expect to leave before 1 year. DE&I is improving but diversity is more than women in leadership positions. I know they know that but I am not seeing it.

Pros

They have good Benefits. Pay starts out at 19 a hour. I liked Remote Working. Independence and not having a manager on my back long as the work was done.

Cons

They crammed in a bunch of information for 1 month of training. After training you do nothing that you were taught in training. They put you on the floor alone even though you have no clue what you’re doing, while handling serious medical information. I’ve asked for help numerous times & often don’t get replies. Supervisor & Management is trash. They don’t care about you succeeding or messing up patients files. You have to be in a horrible position for a year to move up. Everyone I trained with quit. Save yourself the stress & don’t even apply.

Pros

Remote position, low pay but good working hours for a grad student. Management was flexible and understanding

Cons

Low pay compared to competitors

Pros

CSS: inclusivity, empathy, people development, career development assistance, process and efficiency driven, excellent benefits, PTO accrues rapidly, Bravos, Good place for the ambitious. Manufacturing and Inventory: excellent benefits, PTO accrues rapidly, Bravos

Cons

CSS: Long hours, generally the brunt of unhappy customers, high stress environment for sales to perform, fall-out from supply chain misses, can have long hours with little work life balance Manufacturing and Inventory: None of these: inclusivity, empathy, people development, career development assistance, process and efficiency driven, plus micromanagement, no structure, no training, no clear direction, no contextual support on any processes, TOXIC ENVIRONMENT where managers discuss co-workers in front of their peers and when you ask a question there are audible sighs from the SME. No work life balance - meetings scheduled outside of core hours / outside of business hours for west coast based personnel,

Pros

the people were good to work for that seem to care about their employees and I made pretty good money

Cons

they were just starting out business so they had a lot of miscommunication and didn't have a lot of things together because they are such a new business

Pros

Good employees, good mission, good equipment.

Cons

Below average pay, large corporate bureaucracy

Pros

Low stress, easy work, Ridiculous amount of PTO, benefits day 1.

Cons

Manufacturing environment that has not been organized or streamlined to maximize quality, delivery, employee satisfaction or best manufacturing processes. No idea what continuous improvement means. Leadership is weak and isolated. I am a seasoned professional with 30 years experience and a degree in Economics. I hired as entry-level to learn the business processes and workforce culture. Leadership understood I was interested in moving into a progressively responsible role but after a time I realized I was wasting my energy and talent. It’s too bad when Leadership sees you as a threat instead of an asset. This might be unique to this location (339 Mason Drive La Vergne TN) but I’ve seen this in other industries as well. I won’t be able to change the human condition, but it baffles me that people often think that if you are an external hire that you have absolutely zero transferable skills and you don’t bring any value to the table. Typical

Pros

If you're looking for a company that will take a chance on you w/o prior HR background, CAH is the way to go. The team based in OH were really nice and collaborative. So can't complain. Basically getting promotion is like playing a role on Game of Thrones. The more connection you know, the more chances of landing promotion. Less network means less career advancement

Cons

Too much restructuring and cost cutting going on. Lots of great talents leaving. Way behind globalization. Salary distortion is prevalent among the HR team. TA and the HR team needs to work hand in hand to ensure that hiring for a Sr HR/managerial role is done flawlessly. Hiring candidate w/ solid Hr background in the managerial and director level is something that everyone needs to maintain as minimum requirement. If the hiring process keeps doing it wrong, expect a high turnover from great unhappy ees leaving the team.
