Approves of CEO

Pros

The pay and benefits package is above standard for my role. In the past 5 years of employment I’ve had 4 raises and 3 promotions to higher positions. Work Life balance is highly favored. Large support teams and organizational role developments. Only way to go is up with hard work and dedication. I am a very happy employee.

Cons

At this moment I have none.

Our culture is built around diverse perspectives because everyone’s unique story, experiences, and ideas are valued here. We cultivate an inclusive culture and have built safe spaces for our employees in many ways, such as through inclusion trainings (both self-paced and in person) and our 11 Employee Resource Groups listed below. 
We even have a dedicated DEI team within our Global Impact Organization that is focused on all things diversity and inclusion for McKesson.

Making an impact in our communities 

As one of the largest healthcare companies in the world, McKesson has the ability to make a huge social impact. Our I2CARE values guide us day to day, but they extend beyond our internal culture. We have a responsibility to invest in our communities to help people access quality, affordable healthcare.  
Through the generous volunteerism of our employees, we have found many ways to support the communities that need it most. ‘Community Impact Days’ have been McKesson’s largest annual company-wide volunteer event for the past 25 years, but volunteering isn’t limited to once per year. We coordinate opportunities for employees to come together often and give back such as National Volunteer Week, Earth Day, and more.  
The McKesson Foundation is another way we are making a social impact in our communities. Founded in 1943, the Foundation is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to removing barriers to quality healthcare. We do this in a number of ways: reducing the burdens of cancer, supporting disaster relief, and more. One example is our passion for diversifying the healthcare talent pipeline and bringing underrepresented students into the field by awarding over $4 million in grants to pharmacy schools.

Life At McKesson

McKesson is an impact-driven organization that touches virtually every aspect of health. We are a diversified healthcare services leader dedicated to advancing health outcomes for all. We partner with biopharma companies, care providers, pharmacies, manufacturers, and governments to deliver insights, products and services to help make quality care more accessible and affordable. 

Whether you're in a Customer Support, Sales, Finance, Marketing, Technology, HR, Operations, or Healthcare role, McKesson has career opportunities throughout our four business segments— U.S. Pharmaceutical, Prescription Technology Solutions, Medical-Surgical Solutions and International.  Other McKesson Corporation businesses include Ontada, CoverMyMeds, and Genospace. 

Here, you are part of a team that embraces new ideas and sees possibilities. Your unique experiences and perspectives belong here to help us create better care for all. Together, we will shape the future of health for patients, our communities, our people, and you. 

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

We believe how we work is just as important as the work we do. I2CARE refers to the #TeamMcKesson values which guide us everyday, in every interaction. I2CARE stands for Integrity, Inclusion, Customer-First, Accountability, Respect and Excellence. This code serves as a framework to inform our decisions and it unites all employees - connecting us across teams, business units, geographies and functions. 

McKesson is committed to providing an inclusive work environment for every employee. Our differences make us stronger, and we know that we are better together. We acknowledge diversity encompasses many traits – visible and invisible – and embracing those differences brings valuable perspectives and creative thinking to our most critical challenges. 

Employee Resource Groups – the heart of McKesson 

McKesson ERGs are voluntary, employee-led networks built to create a sense of belonging. Today, McKesson has 11 ERGs across North America.  

  • Arc: An open cultural resource for all  
  • MENA: Middle Eastern and North African  
  • UNITY: Uniting Native and Indigenous Tribes  
  • Ability: Disability Community  
  • BE: Black Excellence

  • Pride: LGBTQIA inclusion  
  • MMRG: Military Resource Group

A global leader of inclusion   

Year after year, McKesson is recognized as a global leader of inclusion and an employer of choice. We are proud of this legacy, and the countless leaders and employees who make this possible. McKesson was recently named a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion, Best Company for Multicultural Women in 2023 by Seramount, one of the Best Employers for Diversity by Forbes, and one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity in 2023 by Newsweek. 

Technology & Innovation

Technology is at the core of McKesson’s mission to improve care in every setting. From taking traditionally paper-based processes and making them fully electronic, to creating drug distribution technology that helps maintain the efficacy of specialty drugs, to developing tools that help break down affordability barriers, to the creation of prescription adherence technology. Join #TeamMckesson to truly make an impact in the work you do and maintain a healthy work life balance while you do it. 

By innovating through data and technology, we further our purpose of advancing health outcomes for all. Along with our robust and reliable ecommerce platform, our teams are mining data insights to transform go-to-market cancer therapies and investing in AI to streamline services. Our team members are leaders in their respective fields; some recently spoke at South by Southwest (SXSW) and shared their extensive knowledge on topics about healthcare technology and cybersecurity.

Giving Back & Making an Impact

As one of the largest healthcare companies in the world with over $270 billion in revenue, McKesson has the ability to make a huge impact. Our I2CARE values guide us day to day, but they extend beyond our internal culture. We have a responsibility to invest in our communities and the environment to help people access quality healthcare conveniently and at a lower cost. 

Making an impact in the community 

Through the generosity and volunteerism of our employees, we have found numerous ways to demonstrate support for our purpose of advancing health outcomes for all in the communities that need it most. ‘Community Impact Days’ have been McKesson’s largest annual company-wide volunteer event for the past 25 years, but volunteering isn’t limited to once per year. We coordinate many opportunities for employees to come together and give back such as National Volunteer Week, Earth Day, and more.    

Founded in 1943, the McKesson Foundation is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to removing barriers to quality healthcare, especially for underserved communities. We do this in a number of ways: reducing the burdens of cancer, supporting disaster relief, and more. One example is our passion for diversifying the healthcare talent pipeline and bringing more underrepresented students into the field by awarding over $4 million in grants to pharmacy schools.
