Cardinal Health Employee

"I've worked for Cardinal Health for 4 years as a sales rep. As most sales position have, this position allows a lot of flexibility as you have a home office and make your own schedule. The company has been losing market share significantly over the last 5 years because of misguided executive leadership and marketing initiatives. Few employees are happy in their workplace as we are all set up to fail as we don't have a competitive advantage."

Cardinal Health Employee

"Terrible job, hours, pay, benefits, and the way you are treated. Promises being broken all the time. Make sure to get everything in writing or you will be lied to. No training. Long hours because management won't hire enough people to fill the needs so they can increase their bonuses. No raises whatsoever. Give them your heart and soul and they will take more. Rules apply to some but not others."

"No way to move up unless you become a text book employee. Leadership says they want feedback but if it is negative you will be punished. If you don't get into the Good Old Boy network. Leave the company."

"Cardinal Health now = big corporation. You = a number, no value."

What do you like about working at Cardinal Health?

"Employees (actual workers) are great, hard working, and somewhat loyal. They stick it out through thick and thin. Benefits are pretty good."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be prepared to wait an hour before you see anyone. Management is unorganized. They schedule interviews and do not block out the time to do interviews. Your time means nothing to them."

What don't you like about working at Cardinal Health?

"Benefits are pretty good, but more and more middle of the road. Things look good on paper, but in reality workers are overworked and not respected. Worklife conditions are bad. Cardinal makes employees on edge and stressed."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Management is the biggest problem with Cardinal Health now. Managers know little about business and have the reigns to run the business. They are young, inexperienced and a product of LSS. They certainly do not care about employees and disrespect employees; are not fair; nepotism, favoritism and good ole boy club. In past half-dozen years the stress level has increased terribly among employees due to this style of management. They suppress pay and eliminate positions to make themselves look good. They have pretty much eliminated the long timers who know how to run the business and anyone who is smarter than themselves. It is rotating door. They do not have the sense or ability to tap into peoples' real talents. They love employees who hail to them."

What do you like about working at Cardinal Health?

"The people are friendly and most want to be helpful."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Interviews are easy and they don't do a great job of screening individuals for organization fit and change agents. They are interested in those that tow the company line."

What don't you like about working at Cardinal Health?

"Too much in the weeds at all levels, don't view technology as a drive for automation and efficiency, unwilling to make needed changes to drive improvements."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Under the markets the company is in, create products that are innovative and encourage risk taking. Change the financial model from focusing on the pennies to focusing on results. Reward those that deliver, not those who know others. Clean out the dead weight."
