Current Employee – been working at McKesson full-time for more than 10 years

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.

Advice to Senior Management – Put money into the products and the resources for the the products. If that was done 5-10 years ago, the Horizon products would not be in such a mess and forced to sunset.
