Pros

Depending on your manager, there’s potential for flexibility with your schedule. Can come in late and leave early if you get your work done quickly.

Cons

Multiple layoffs per year. Huge disconnect between leadership and associates. Very little transparency behind decisions from leadership.

Pros

The products we make are important and do change the lives of our patients.

The leadership seems to have no idea what they are doing and are constantly doing lay offs, hiring, firing, reorging, changing priorities, etc.
