Pros
Employees are very professional for the most part and the social environment is nice. People at this company make it what it is. If you brown nose the right senior manage, you will probably do well at this company. This company is also top heavy with women in management positions therefore I have seen women advance nicely and exceed males that are comparable or more experience. It is study work and there is always plenty of it... PTO is just the right amount, and you will need it at this place. If you are part of the college hire program, take it, its awesome and you will learn a ton about life at big company.
Cons
I don't know where to start...A huge cold Company, Internal disconnects, crappy outdated SW tools to do your job, Pressure, Overworked, Under Pay, Commissions are iffy, health insurance is high and there are core principles called ICARE that the company seems to violate when it comes to its own employees. The Customer is First, McKesson Second, Your Business Unit third and guess who is dead last? You....and you know it too. I have worked in high presure environments before including Engineering in manufaturing where a minute of down time can cost the company a $1M and this place doesn't come close to the presure which is placed on you by the fact that the internal business units don't really speak well to one another but yet "tag you are it". The training sucks badly and basically you are on your own from day one and you feel like it. "Sink or Swim" Two weeks after I started I felt like throwing in towel but I am no quiter. Anyone that tells you this is not true is simply lying to you. I have read a few positive postings about McKesson but mostly BS. I have experienced countless sleepless nights for years! I have trried to move up but its nearly impossible and I have actually documented my manager derailing my efforts to move on within the company...Oh yeah and your manager has to approve in wrtting that its ok for you to talk to another manager regarding a position even if its exploratory.. its like shooting your own foot. What are the chances you can do this in Q3 or Q4?...just about zero! Can't go to HR about anything because your manager seems to mysteriously find out, I have documented that too. So HR is basically useless. We just went through a major lay-off and although I am still there, there are signs that another wave may be coming just in-time for Summer... so warning.
