McKesson Employer Reviews

I enjoyed working at Mckesson but there was too much favoritism (in certain areas) and not many opportunities to learn new tasks.
I liked answering the phones and being able to correspond with patients and Clients.

You start on night shift, mid shift if you're lucky. You have to have at least five years of seniority to get on days. Nights work Sunday through Thursday and all major holidays (we get the day before off). Start time is set unless of course they want you to come in early, which is always mandatory. You never know what time you're going to leave, could – more... be six hours, could be twelve. The more functions you learn the more you move around or you could be stuck in the same function for three months straight. On the lines you walk 10-15 miles a night. The management is made up of a bunch of people who have no idea what they're doing. None of them have any supervisory experience outside the company. McKesson loves to hire recent college grads as supervisors and they don't have the first clue on how to be effective leaders or personable in the slightest. – less

I learned the importance of team work and HIPPA. My co-workers are hardworking and very supportive of one another. The hardest part of the job is dealing with unknown issues that spring up from time to time. The most enjoyable part of the job is learning something new everyday.

This was a great company because it was flexible, pay was good, work from home, activities. Since outsourcing and so many lay offs/fire nothing has been the same. They only want people with degrees but those people never last more than a year and leave the company when they realize what the company is about. You have to know someone and its not what – more... you know to move up. Tons of favoritism! HR says they are here for us but its all bull and funny when you stand up for yourself your the next target and out the door. Management doesn't have a clue with what anyone does. Everyone is so rude. I hate going to work everyday! – less

Do not apply. Low pay, poor quality of managers. No room for advancement.

My day consists of developing strategies and initiatives to align sustainability initiatives to support McKesson's business objectives and customers' needs and commitments.
I have had the opportunity to work along very inspirational colleagues, and have learned many facets of the healthcare industry.
I have enjoyed the chance to collaborate with teams – more... focused on advancing analytical capabilities and incorporating environmental sustainability into the analytical discussions. – less

If offered the opportunity to interview for any entity within this corporation, run as fast as you can -- in the other direction!

They hide behind their "principles", called "ICARE". In fact this is their way to load the deck in their favor and manipulate employees to conduct themselves they would otherwise prefer no to. They even have a course managers – more... are required to attend about how to keep the company from being sued in court. They are no different than any other large corporation or bureaucracy.

They actually don't produce anything. Just buy products, primarily in Asia, mark-up the prices and soak the population for dearly needed pharmaceuticals and medical devices. A legal scam. – less

Top company, not only do they keep up with industry standards but set them as well. Great company to work for with plenty of opportunity for advancement.

The mangers was not fare to any employers and was never around when they where needed

Alot of busy work. Uncertain future because of older products and new business acquisions.

A very productive office. Once we arrive and log-in it gets pretty busy.We worked primarily independent of each other, however some people worked in teams of two. But you could call or email another department or directly go to them and ask a question.
Learned all about anesthesia billing and collections. My dept everyone had their own clients depending – more... on size a person may have more than one. We handled all incoming calls regarding the billing and collection aspect per client. – less

Had many good years there. Company was good to its employees Cannot relocate with company.

I work at a call center in Port Saint Lucie. The Training for my position was completely unorganized. Everyday I get on the phones I am lost and just guessing at how to do my job. My manager says she is "OPEN" to new ideas, but she just casts them out before you can even complete your idea. Overall... The company is good. But my specific location and – more... position is horrible. I am completely unprepared, and underpaid. I feel like I am wasting my time there every single day. I really just need to find a job in my career...... – less

Each department ran a bit differently.
I liked each position, just like to learn new departments.

Working for McKesson Pharmacy Systems gives you a sense of purpose. Helping customers help their customers is a reward in itself, but the recognition from this company for a job well done makes going to work everyday a little easier.

A typical day at work is hectic and busy and being productive trying to get day to day reconciliation completed. I've learned to aim for success and even though I can get knocked down at times, I get up and dust myself off and try again. Management is great at Mckesson and I enjoy working with them. The hardest part of my job is trying to tackle my – more... responsibilities without to many disruptions, and the easiest part of my job is coming to work to be with all my coworkers. I enjoy them and enjoy being a team player. Team players are what makes a company successful. – less

The McKesson IT environment is very frustrating to work within due to the disjointed nature of the the various support and development teams. Slowly but surely all of IT is being outsourced to various companies and accountability is eroding more and more.

A typical day at work was receiving and making outbound calls to people who owed the company money. I learned how to read an itemized bill and the codes for medical labs. The management was not involved, the peers were helpful.
