Pros

Own schedule, steady commission, decent base salary, company vehicle, gas card, health benefits, retirement, etc..

Cons

success is based on the GPO contracts either won or lost by the company. If Cardinal does not have the contract sales are difficult and yet you are still expected to meet your quotas, Territories can be quite large and overnight travel not highly accepted. Therefore, after 6+ hours of driving, 2-3 hours of meetings with customers, still must find daily time to so office work including training modules, answer emails. Dealing with the contracts department loading accurate pricing is a challenge and can hurt your business if not down promptly, which creates more credit/rebill work for you to submit. Although, not stated in your sales position they will put you in the position of bill collector, which also effects your rep with customers. As a result there is very little life and work balance, Management expects work to be priority number one even if it means emailing past midnight. Best job for a single person who lives for their work and work only.

Pros

Hey it's a job. So it can stop you from being homeless

Cons

My experience here was very negative. I was assigned to pass orders all night with far too few people to handle the workload. The totes were extremely heavy, and after hours of nonstop lifting my shoulders were hurting and even started clicking. It felt unsafe and unsustainable. Another thing I noticed was that no women were ever assigned to this position. Based on how physically demanding and understaffed it was, I can understand why—anyone would probably quit if they were put in this role under these conditions. Overall, the job felt physically damaging and poorly managed. I cannot recommend working here.

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.
