Pros

The atmosphere at Cardinal is very laid back. Work / life balance is very good. Pay exceeds (by quite a bit in some cases) what other employers in the area are paying for similar positions. The potential for career advancement seems good. Time off and benefits are for the most part decent and reasonably priced.

Cons

I can't say I have ever worked somewhere with such a high level of general apathy. It seems that the overwhelming majority of management and employees alike are committed to doing the absolute least amount of work possible in any given situation, regardless of how it affects the business or our customers. Competence seems low. There is no common goal, focus, or team spirit. It's an every-man-for-himself environment. I have lost count of the number of times that there have been issues affecting customers' ability to find or order products, that when brought to the attention of the appropriate people were either met with flat denial or total lack of concern. I can't speak for the rest of the company, but in IT at least, compared to other Fortune 500 companies that I've worked for, it is very much Amateur Hour at Cardinal.

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.
