Pros

This company has done nothing but change since the day I joined...but if you can roll with the punches, it's definitely a place that will challenge you and force you to expand your perspective, knowledge & skillset. Sure, there are always annoyances at work but those same annoyances exist at every other company out there. This place really does try hard to create a good work environment. I can't speak for the other locations but at the corporate office, the HR Team, Rescue Team and Wellness Team are always coming up with some activity. It may be related to a holiday, raising money or other resources for a worthy cause, or sometimes just for fun. The people are friendly and extremely passionate about the customer. There are some amazing people on the staff here (and of course a few duds but you can't win 'em all). The IT department ROCKS! This company does not spare expense when it comes to keeping up with technology. For the size of the company, the benefits are great and quite affordable. Seems to be a lot promotions if you follow the newsletter at all. Pretty casual environment.

Cons

Lots of growth through acquisitions which of course creates internal process issues, culture clashes and lots of extra work beyond the day-to-day functions. Old leadership was really difficult to please but recent changes have brought relief. It's nice to feel like we finally have some momentum back and we're heading in the right direction. More investment in training opportunities to improve general skills/people management skills would be nice.

Pros

Sarnova offers a collaborative work environment with talented and supportive colleagues. The company provides opportunities to learn different aspects of the healthcare distribution industry and work with customers who play a critical role in patient care. Leadership promotes a customer-focused culture, and employees who take initiative can find opportunities for growth.

Cons

Like many large organizations, processes can sometimes be complex. Communication between departments can occasionally be inconsistent, and priorities may shift as business needs evolve. Career advancement opportunities can vary by team and location, requiring employees to be proactive in seeking development and new challenges.

Pros

Good Retirement Match, Great Co-workers, Great customers in a rewarding market. Great opportunity to experience the dark side of corporate sales, so that you can fully appreciate the great job in your future. The bond and networking among former employees is second to none. Former employees are helping each other daily and it is amazing to experience.

Cons

A very rapid shift from a rewarding customer focused approach, to what has become purely a corporate profit driven model. Account Manager are pushed to sell without regard for ethics or morals. The quest to make more money is all consuming across the management group. Their private label "Curaplex" brand has several substandard product offerings wrought with quality issues. Although many Account Managers have reported issues with this product line, the Leadership continues to downplay, mask, and outright cover the problems. This private label brand carries the highest profit margins across the entire product offering, so it's pretty easy to see their motivation to push these products, regardless of quality. They actually pay the Sales Staff extra commission to sell it, a tool to further discourage the reporting of issues and concerns. The turnover remains high, even with solid pay. Numerous employees continue to search for a way out, only bound to them by a very challenging job market.
