Business Outlook

Pros

flex time was great, could start day anywhere between 6-9 am, could take up too an hour lunch, if you had to leave for an appointment, you could punch out and come back to finish your 8 hour shift. Great benefits

Cons

mandatory overtime, which is good money but working 10-12 hour days, sometimes 5 or more in a row can wear on you

Pros

Great atmosphere. Amazingly nice people, well educated and of the highest integrity. Company which pushes innovation and really allows employees to take action with initiatives to improve the company as a whole. Brand new building with great open spaces.

Cons

Try and avoid divisions which are acquisitions. They don't always follow the McKesson culture.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working in the IT field allows you to interact with many different groups and see what works and what doesn't. My IT team was well organized and very team oriented. Manager was focused on customer service and trying to do what was best for the group as well as company.

Cons

Disorganization among other divisions and units leads to overruns on projects which obviously leads to projects that go over budget. the office i worked in was one division and had 4 different groups. Those groups may as well have not known one another given that amount of overall difference in management and performance. Such a stark contrast in management in one location was not unusual. You may have a good team but once you step out and work with a different group, prepare to become frustrated.
