Pros

Very great benefits - included saving on health insurance premium, students assistance program where they pay for your school, great 401k, big company so there are many roles available

Cons

TOO BIG so there are alot of middle managers that really are just there are a place holder and not making a lot of difference in the work. KPIs get passed down but there are so real solution when employees brining up issues because there are too many loops to go thru. There are too many laid off recently and they will lay off people who worked hard and been there for over 10 years.

Pros

A rare enterprise that still offers fully remote work. Smart colleagues, most of whom are parents and/or family caregivers. Most respectful corporate environment I've experienced in terms of protecting work-life balance and boundaries around after-hours and weekend work.

Cons

Cencora relies heavily on contractors to the extent that it can be hard for even longtime employees to tell who is on contract vs. who is a "FTE" (full-time employee). This current fiscal year we've endured multiple reorgs, with staff reductions impacting not just contractors but full-timers and even some senior leadership. Budgets were slashed significantly and continue to be whittled away. Chaos ensues in the wake of colleagues being let go suddenly, with minimal communication from team leads and not enough time allotted for offboarding preparations or knowledge sharing. Low morale among the skeleton crews that remain. We had great run last fiscal year. This fiscal year, the state of the business feels increasingly precarious.
