Backwards for such a large company.

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They truly believe in their mission to make health care safer and more productive. The time off and other benefits are outstanding. They have the foresight to invest in operational excellence.

Cons

Many areas of the business are still driven by the "good old boy" network. Much of their success is related to expense control and not revenue growth. They talk the talk on operational excellence but they don't walk the walk. The stock value has been stagnant for such a long time it is difficult to build any wealth through equity awards. Performance metrics for individual business units are soft, self defined, self reported and easily gamed.

Cardinal Health-Great company if your lucky enough to report to a Manager that believes in Cardinal's EPIC core values!

Business Outlook

Pros

Best reason to work for Cardinal Health was the decision to become Cardinal One and allow employees to add an additional 5 yrs prior work experience to their time within Cardinal. It allowed several employees the opportunity to move up a bracket and add additional days of vacation alloted each year.

Cons

Communication within each department is very one sided. Managers are allowed to share information at their leisure and therefore, important information is sometimes not shared or found out elsewhere.

Cardinal - Big with big problems, and much potential

Manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The people that work there really care, despite the incompetence of Sr. management. The one thing that is keeping the company going, is that the employees really care, we care about our customers, and we care enough to be successful--despite the shortfalls of senior management.

Cons

Poor planning, lack of communication, constant fire drills - do to poor planning by sr. leadership, challenging work/life balance. Sr. Leaders could make life so much easier if they would stop with the fire drills. Due to thier poor planning, mid-level managers and below are forced to stop doing our jobs to fix issues, then struggle to get caught up on our usual work load. Sometimes it feels as though sr. managent sits back and pulls the trigger then relishes in the fact that subordinates scramble to accomodate their whims, and most times, inadequecies.
