Pros

vacation time, co-workers, exciting industry

Cons

Cardinal is notorious for having staff reductions (layoffs) approx every 12 to 18 months. Employees in IT seem to get hit the most. Other than worrying about your job being around or not, the company is not too bad to work for day to day. Just don't think that the effort you put into your job will count when it comes time for budget decisions.

Pros

- Good benefits - Easy training - They strive to understand how to get someone to their fullest potential

Cons

- No concrete track for promotion, to the point that it seemed impossible - They will not listen to their workers - Management on-site and higher up are very lazy - They will expect you to do the work that they schedule, even if it is impossible to complete - From the perspective of my role in quality control, it seemed impossible to make management, and also production in general, understand the time it takes for certain procedures and tests to be completed and reviewed. - Our entire site is getting shut down, and they are just now ramping up production to meet quotas and schedules. While, at the same time, keeping our severance estimations as vague as possible. - Low to no incentivization for anything
