Business Outlook

Pros

McKesson is a great company to work for. They are interested in continuing education and giving employees every opportunity to "sharpen the saw". McKesson has a fair compensation package and employees are recognized and promoted commensurate with achievements.

Cons

There is a tendency to promote male over female although this is very much an under current and would be denied by upper management. However, discrimination against sex is present.

Business Outlook

Pros

People there love to help you. Company very employee concentric Good, not great salaries. Communication is good between divisions.

Cons

Technical decisions are driven by a few, non-technical individuals While each division is a small-median sized company, there exists an overall "Big Company" mentality that includes non-agility to promotions, solutions, etc.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible employer with work times and working from home. They 'want' the employees have a balanced work/home life.

Cons

People are not compensated correctly for position and work. Recently they are expecting their resources to cover all shifts and weekends. They have let go of all contractors so staff is extremely low due to not replacing FTE's that have left over the last 3 years. Sunset of Horizon products stopped customers in their tracks and started an exodus of FTE's.
