Pros

good benefits paid time off is amazing.they let us listen to music while we work. HR isnt too bad. job security

Cons

lets see... the pay is not that good. they are starting ppl out 2 3 dollars more than the starting salary which is 12.50 an hour been there for four years and make 16.28 and the new ppl comin in .. making 14.75 to 15 doesnt sound fair huh?lack of leadership. supervisors act like they dont have to help us. they favor people.they yell at us. they tell us when we can and cannot use paid time days off. they make irrational decisions when we got one person down. they act all friendly to your face then you hear from another employee just bashing you. just no leadership basically they talk all the time and sit in the office its terrible over here at the overland park location we dont have a life we work all the time start at noon leave at midnight

Pros

Great people. Offer mentoring programs. Cardinal promotes within (but depends on your leader). Great systems; use SAP. Health/Medical Benefits are average. Dublin headquarters building is very nice: workout facility; cafes in each side of the building, cube environment, clean, small break rooms, etc. PTO (Paid time off) days are great.

Cons

Base Salary - It's bad. Not consistent among the different Finance groups within Cardinal. Management doesn't care about what you make as long as you get the job done. I've only seen one leader fight to get their employees up to par with their peers. Work/life balance - Hard to see other groups in Finance (Accounting and EIT) have work/life balance and nothing be available to the FP&A teams. Bonuses - Anyone below a manager does not receive an annual bonus. This is not common for employees in a professional group such as Finance. Long hours - Expect to work at least 45 hours a week. You're not recognized for working extra hours. Everyone Matters Rewards - These are monetary rewards to be used to recognize employees for going above and beyond. Unfortunately in FP&A they are used in the wrong manner. I've seen them used to keep employees in their role rather when they mention they are looking outside of the company due to low compensation. I've seen them to used to recognize people for improving their demeanor. One last example, is seeing them used to recognize someone for saying they'll go the extra mile when later down the road, after they receive the reward, they don't go that extra mile. Cardinal is losing amazing talent because of not recognizing their true talented employees.

Pros

Above avergae compensation and excellent benefits.

Cons

Co-worker backstabbing and brown-nosing to get ahead. Managers favor their “pets” and shift blame to scapegoats. Management pets have free rein to bully others. HR protects management, believing whatever the manager tells them . Employees afraid of being fired as a scapegoat, with no recourse.
