Pros

They offer good benefits package. I've worked for the company for seven years and I get 248 hours of paid time off each year. They also have decent health care benefits. They have many locations in the US so you have the possibility to work in any state and major metropolitan area.

Cons

They used to have great relocation assistance but I have heard they no longer provide this. The performance incentive bonuses are usually impossible to achieve due to the nature of the supply chain issues and achievements always based on efficiencies that are not controllable half the year. Not much room for promotions or advancement since management and higher level positions don't open up very often.

Pros

Paid time off is second to none. Very easy to transfer almost anywhere in the U.S. They will even pay for your moving truck. They actually encourage you to stay with the company and will help you in finding the right job that fits you. Cardinal also pays for some schooling while you work there.

Cons

Being that it is a large company, the main disadvantage, especially in a down economy, is that there are these groups of people in corporate called Kaizen team or something to that effect. This teams job is to make decisions for the company to better the efficiency, cut costs, improve on safety yada yada. I'm not sure where this team gets its credentials, but someone needs to question it. I am yet to see the benefit of these dumb decision that inconvenience work flow and seem like they were created by people who have the slightest idea in what we do in the nuclear pharmacy division. It also makes you wonder what it costs to plan a project pay for flights and hotels and hourly wages for these so called TEAMS to work their magic. Also I would like to add the incomes of corporate employees are outrageous, and the company has slid down hill ever since the day Kerry Clark set foot in here as CEO. He also single handedly killed employee moral by shutting anything extra for the employees completely off, not to mention no Christmas bonuses or incentive bonuses of any kind for non salaried employees. Also we have a constant threat of being cut every day, they kind of use this in the down turn of the economy kind of like a rancher uses a whip on cattle or horses.

Pros

Your immediate peers are probably the best reason to work here. There were really great people who in spite of what senior management did kept the boat afloat.

Cons

Senior management doesn't value the employees or the knowledge that they have about running the business. Cost cutting and layoffs due to outsourcing only to find out that they lost years and years of experience is normal here. You can't always replace the skills and dedication of the people with outsourcing.
