And you can't ask this question through normal channels at your workplace? Nice... sharp as a biscuit you are...
It's PTO only, so no differentiation between sick/vacation and no banking or rollover. Start at 19, go to 21 after 2 years, 26 after 5, 31 after 10, 33 or 34 after 15 (i think), 36 after 20 (i think). years of service for PTO is based off the year itself, so for example, if you start any time in 2015, your 2 year PTO increase amount will start in January 2017. you may use the days before they are accrued. There are also 7 paid holidays. as a former employee, i can tell you it can become hard to use your days once you get to the 26 count, depending on level. new hires can usually negotiate the days, but no idea how it will work with an acquisition. i've found it to be generous compared to other employers i've worked for, but as most people point out, overall pay is below average.
another one on the receiving end of a Cardinal purchase. The original questions was valid - especially if you have a lot of time vested in this industry.
Hey Cardinal Reps - Walk me through the a typical sales cycle starting from entering the prospects door to the close. I am interested to see what techniques work for you guys, especially when facing a new client: For illustration - Let's pretend your prospect is working in a compounding facility and it's your first visit. What questions are you asking? What supplies are you trying to engage? Thanks for your insight I am new to selling into Pharma mfg.
In addition to stated PTO, you can take many more days off as long as you get your work done. no one is micro-managing you daily, so if you need additional unapproved time off, you can take it. As long as you perform, no one gives a shit if you're taking a few more days off on the sly. Perform and you're golden.
you can get away with it not hitting your numbers too, happens daily, especially in columbus at the clown college known as cah
I've left Cardinal, gone to much greener pastures. We used to joke (and still do) that all you have to do at CAH is just hang around long enough and you'll move up the ladder. People who are marketable move on to better jobs. There are plenty of examples of folks who were about to get laid off in their business unit due to losing so much business, and instead of letting below average folks go, they move into a promotion into a different BU. Great plan CAH.
Is that the tiny little feller who always carries a water bottle like Linus carries a blanket, and who reads everything on the teleprompter "Hard Stop" LULZ!
Indeed yes, the little bugger was flitting around the NSM in Columbus always clutching his water bottle. Daydreaming at one of the breakouts I had this vision of someone kicking DC in the butt and breaking MK's nose. You need a little humor to keep your sanity at Cardinal until the offer letter comes. hoping to say adios in a few weeks.
The response to #3 and #4 here sounds like one of cardinals HR managers. my condolences to you and your co-workers for the aquisition of the company you use to work for.
What is the new restructuring of existing employees after the merger? Did you maintain all of your previous benefits and retirement package? Did you have the option to stay with the previous company or continue with Cardinal?
