Pros

The pay was better than Walgreens, much less stress - no patient interaction, good amount of time off.

Cons

Extremely rigid policies (not even 1 minute grace period for clocking in), McKesson company policy does not apply in their central fills and they change it constantly, they nickel and dime your Flex Time, shut down and fire people who are good at their jobs and want to improve things, opting instead to hire mindless worker drones, for employees and management. Very hard schedule to have a work-life balance with. Warehouse environment and pretty loud. You can’t have your phone out on the pharmacy floor (only when you go out on breaks and lunches), but you can use one ear bud and your smart watch.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
