Cardinal Health reviews

Many changes lately includung down sizing that resulted in many very poor decisions at the executive levels. Retention of poor performers (Sacred cows) is an issue here. If one was liked, they were often retained unless the immediate manager took the initiative to remove them. It was not in the culture from top down at all. Hair drug testing is another negative, and to me is unacceptable. I am not a drug user, but conceptually, what I do on my time is my business.Testing for metabolites of something one may have taken 80 days ago while not on the clock is absurd and in my opinion should be illegal. Thus is just one example ofthe lack of decency and common sense used in this organization currently. Its parent company, Syncor, was a very good organization and a pleasure to work for.

Cardinal is notorious for having staff reductions (layoffs) approx every 12 to 18 months. Employees in IT seem to get hit the most. Other than worrying about your job being around or not, the company is not too bad to work for day to day. Just don't think that the effort you put into your job will count when it comes time for budget decisions.
