Pros

Good company, generally ethical and fair; tough and usually successful competitor in the medical device market. One of the now dwindling group of companies that still have a pension plan in addition to a 401K.

Cons

Like so many older American firms it is becoming more and more difficult to turn a profit in the states, so success from plants overseas often results in production expansion and growth but not in the US operations. The company is large and diversified so raises are pretty consistent but usually just keep up with inflation and such.

Pros

To use the word the company adopted, it is a great place to work. Senior management team are very nice to even junior workers. They care about talent retention and development.

Cons

The company does not have a big big name in the Fortune 500 list due to little exposure. Another cons is that they were not doing much in brand management.
