Pros

You get to use your vacation and health benefits as soon as you start. Decent pay for what you do. We have a fancy breakroom - the nicest one I've ever seen.

Cons

Very long hours if you work 2nd shift. They will say that the shcedule is 2-11:30pm for a warehouse lead, but it's more likely 12:30 or later before you will leave the building. Do not expect to see your friends and family during the week. You will also have to work most holidays and they will threaten you with insubordination if you protest having to cover another 12 hr shift on your off day. Asking for another day off to compensate is apparently unreasonable. They are slow to replace anyone you lose from your team. We run short 2 or 3 people most of the time because it takes 2 months to hire someone. They will blame this on the recruiter. They like to spend lots of money on week long kaizens.... Here's a novel idea, how about a kaizen to fix your slow hiring process. I have two bosses that don't see eye to eye and typically communicate poorly. That leaves their entire team stuck in the middle. I thought at first this was a great company, but they are just like all the rest.

Great co-workers, bad upper management, employees treated as an expense

Pros

vacation time, co-workers, exciting industry

Cons

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.
