How often do promotions happen at Cencora?
It very much depends on your department and Manager, which isn't unique from the other large company I've worked for (UPS, AB). I work in IT, I am highly motivated, and I consistently get very good annual reviews. However, I've consistently gotten 3-4% raises for the past 7 years with no promotions. Your upward mobility is a function of your Department and Management. If your department doesn't typically have much movement (promotions, retirements, etc.) you will find yourself stuck in your position. Likewise, if your Manager/Management Team isn't an advocate for you, then you'll find yourself stuck.
