Pros

compensation, flexibility with PTO -- no advance notice required

Cons

worst health insurance i have ever experienced---i pay 10,500 in payck deductions per year for my family!! that's before the deductible and out of pocket are met. very "old boy" network and big on favoritism --- which will get you a better position. once you are seen as "not supporting Cardinal Health" because you relay customer feedback on their lousy software that you're supposed to sell to customers anyway, they will force you out. expect you to do the job of a full time marketing analyst, as well as cover a very large territory and then nail you for not being in the field making 7 calls a day. no such thing as work/life balance. very nonsupportive management that keeps giving you the same "to do" list after you've done it, over and over again. gives you a 2 on a 5 scale because no one made their goal because they did not have the product to sell -- but you take the financial fall for it. high priced pharmaceuticals that are at least 15% over the market value -- all of which goes into managements' pockets. but please, "sell the value of cardinal health" when we no longer can differentiate ourselves from competitors, except as the high price leader -- what value is that, exactly?

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.
