Pros

You are supporting life sustaining and health improvement solutions for people worldwide. Cardinal's output help people and are a benefit to people's quality of life. From a career standpoint, it's a huge company and if you get your foot in the door, you have a lot of opportunities to expand your 'base' and work in a lot of areas of the company; movement around to various roles is encouraged.

Cons

Cardinal's business model is 10 years behind the rest of the world, they talk about being agile and innovative, but I did not see in their acquisitions. They continue to expand into areas that people need, but they are far from cutting edge. For example, the Medtronic acquisition expanded a lot of offerings, but was big and messy and hurt the bottom line. They should look to growing in some of the more modern healthcare spaced; telehealth, self-driven home health, etc. The benefits are also slowly degrading, for a company that is in the Fortune 20, the insurance is 'eh' and while they started to offer telework and options to improve work life balance, a lot of those benefits were repealed once the stock and earnings dipped.

Pros

- Good benefits - Easy training - They strive to understand how to get someone to their fullest potential

Cons

- No concrete track for promotion, to the point that it seemed impossible - They will not listen to their workers - Management on-site and higher up are very lazy - They will expect you to do the work that they schedule, even if it is impossible to complete - From the perspective of my role in quality control, it seemed impossible to make management, and also production in general, understand the time it takes for certain procedures and tests to be completed and reviewed. - Our entire site is getting shut down, and they are just now ramping up production to meet quotas and schedules. While, at the same time, keeping our severance estimations as vague as possible. - Low to no incentivization for anything
