Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Good benefits, controlled climate. location

Cons – I am sure this is the case at most large companies, but there was rampant favoritism. Last minute notification of manditory overtime. Problems brought to management usually not rectified. No merit raises. No opportunities to advance. Low pay.

Advice to Senior Management – Treat all associates equally. I am not against overtime, but better planning, better management (ie receive product before stocking etc.) would eleviate this problem.

Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Great benefits and a sufficient amount of vacation hours. They feed you and sometimes there are rewards... sometimes. They are truly trying to understand their employees with surveys. They are trying to make the job a more stable and family, fun oriented place.

Cons – Management doesn't understand how to balance personal and work life. You work long hours and low pay. Somethings aren't kept confidential.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen more

Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen

Pros – ABC plays a critical role in maintaining the lowest possible healthcare costs by distributing pharmaceuticals and related products in the most efficient manner possible. The people are incredibly dedicated to this mission.

Cons – A new CEO is bringing in the same team that resulted in Bergen being sold to Amerisource back in 2001 at a time when Bergen was much larger. An aggressive international expansion plan will put the core distribution businesses at risk, resulting in lower than anticipated revenues.

Advice to Senior Management – Stick to your knitting.

Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen full-time

Pros – Great insurance and benefits such as starting with 20 days of PTO, and bonus program equal to 10% of yearly salary- 2%/ 3 qtrs and 2%/ 4th with additional 2% quality bonus

Cons – If you have no other options and want to work in a high pressure sweat shop for 32 to 34K yr, with no future, this is the company for you! The company used to care about their employees till a year and a half ago when the President, David Cheetham was fired without cause. He had built ICS from nothing to the largest revenue generating division of ABC.

Advice to Senior Management – Your employees are humans not numbers.

Former Employee – worked at AmerisourceBergen

Pros – Workplace was attractive, safe and clean.

Cons – A sterile, cold environment. My department turned over 100% in a year. There was much buzz in the company about their gross profit - which was grand. Net profit? Not so much - razor thin.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
