Current Employee – been working at AmerisourceBergen full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – The people who are the backbone of the company are great people. Benefits are really good (medical, dental, 401k, etc.), good discounts to other vendors, Ford, Dell, Verizon, and so forth.

Cons – NO one cares what you think and changes are being made with no detailed plans. If you are older or have been with the company for a long time, you won't last long. They want to turnover the whole workforce and infuse it with new people. Education and experience are no longer valued, just do what you're told and keep your mouth shut.

Advice to Senior Management – Wake up and start listening to the people that are actually doing the work. Dump all the consultants and pay attention to the dedicated loyal people that have given you their blood, sweat, and tears. If things don't change soon not only will the turnover be out of control but every location will have a union.

Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Decentralized, autonomous. Dynamic, fast paced environment with variety. Decisions are almost entirely housed in the site for day to day operations.

Cons – Lack of resources, staffing limited, support limited, no advancement, long hours, low pay, no training or travel encouraged. The company allows each DC to work autonomously however this puts a lot of stress on those at the site. There are limited human resources which requires long hours and tough work life balance.

Advice to Senior Management – Connect DC's to corporate and have values match the real culture.

Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Fair wages, large organization with many business units, good paid time-off policy, employer RRSP contributions.

Cons – If you are looking to learn new skills and develop your career, this is not the place to do it. Untrained management is biased and does not offer equal opportunities to all qualified candidates. Company culture is motivated by negative reinforcement, and "speak-up" policy is a joke.

Advice to Senior Management – Respect your employees.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at AmerisourceBergen full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Good people to work with, benefits are good (i.e. medical/dental);

Cons – Top heavy, a lot of directors/VP's with little to no management experience (actual managing of employees), transparency / communication, work/life balance issues, employees afraid to speak up.

Advice to Senior Management – Allow your teams to provide you constructive feedback that will help enable the company to reach its goals. Use active listening to feedback provided and follow up to suggestions. Thank your teams publicly for the extra mile they go rather then expecting it. If you don't turnover will continue.

Current Employee – been working at AmerisourceBergen full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Basic 9-5 unless you work in IT.

Cons – Mom-Pop company. Many relatives throughout company; same department in many instances; inappropriate reporting relationships-clickish.

Advice to Senior Management – You are way behind on Diversity and Inclusion. Take a good look at the talent around you and reward it even if it exists outside of the "good old boy" circle of relatives and personal friends.

Current Employee – been working at AmerisourceBergen for more than 7 years

Pros – Pay is ok and benefits are good

Cons – Lots of perks and special considerations if you are in the right click with management. Your best bet is to be a buddy to one of them(outside of work). Unrealistic demands from managment and dont expect to have a life outside of work. Lots of favoritism. They send out another survey for employees to complete, but they have not done anything with the results from the last one (don't expect management to follow through with the results). Upper management needs to look at the "whole" picture, Accounts Payable management leave much to be desired. There are many unfair and unethical probiing questions from Management and do not expect Human Resources to be helpful. Some employees can use up their vacation and personal time and still get more time off, while others have to fight for their entitlement. Many unfair practices within the management team.

Advice to Senior Management – Realize that employees have a life outside of work and be realistic. Expectations are a two way streeet.
