Pros

Very few pros that i can think of. Ah, tremendously slooooooowwww pace and therefore lots of "quality of life" or otherwise known as lazy pace? Yes, things move very slow at Cardinal with the exception of the constant organizational restructuring which really has no benefit for anyone.

Cons

Very little diversity in management. Mostly white males or the "new" initiative white females. Current "diversity initiatives" do not focus on bringing in or promoting minorities to equal levels of management throughout the business. Career path is pretty non-existent. People are promoted so they can get higher pay levels (which tend to be lower than the industry average), when they really don't deserve the title change or promotion. So there are a tremendous amount os "Sr" this and that, and VP's with very little experience to justify their position. There is also a tremendous amount of internal nepotism. People get promoted via "relationships" and not really through critical performance. This is very demotivating. Many of the people who actually have talent tend to leave as soon as they discover the "culture" at Cardinal. If you are an ethnic minority, i highly recumbent that you reconsider your interest in this corporation. They have a tremendously long way to go to be competitive in many ways, from compensation to inclusion. Many minorities that join Cardinal simply leave due to the lack of opportunities available for them to grow and be fostered.

Pros

Interesting work: nobody hears this job title without a little curiosity Independent: once you're trained you're mostly given tasks and allowed to work whatever way best suits your needs Unique: you won't find another job that does exactly this in the area Benefits: pretty standard, but kick in on day 1 Growing field: by all appearances, this is a growing field in pharmacy, so job stability isn't an issue Management: Leadership at this location strives to make this a good place to work

Cons

The hours: most technicians will work from 2:30-10 AM. The pay: rate is decent, a little less than hospital rates, a little more than retail, but in general you will be capped at 35 hours a week. Independence: while there is a lot to say about the benefits of working on your tasks alone, there is also little in the way of any real supervision. This means that all interpersonal issues devolve into a one employee's word against another, leaving management reluctant to act. Management: Leadership at this location does its best to make this a good environment to work, but they do it at the expense of holding employees accountable.
