Good Company, Horrible Leadership

Senior business process consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good Health Benefits and employee incentive programs. - ESPP is very competitive and with a substantial discount. - The main HQ office is new and refreshed, with good on-site amenities. - Flexible work options and good WFH policy

Cons

- Mediocre pay - Toxic, micromanaging leadership. Perfect embodiment of the Peter Principle. - Leadership does not live up to the McKesson Values, initiates highly inappropriate workplace discussions, and WILL retaliate against you for speaking up with concerns - - by PIPing you over non-quantitative and highly-subjective performance metrics never previously discussed. - After failure to overcome said PIP and termination, McKesson fights you tooth and nail for any unemployment claim and will characterize the reason for your termination as due to employee misconduct.
