      Pros

      -Benefits are 'OK' for the valley: 3 weeks off, healthcare is good and cost to employees is cheap, employee stock options are provided.

      Cons

      -Middle mangers at the company are poorly trained. They don't know how to manage people and can be very political. -They don't promote / develop from within; they would rather hire someone off the street. -Pay less than other comparable companies. -People aren't very social. Everyone goes to work and then goes home. Most people have families that work here. -CEO is extremely cheap hence why the pay is less than comparable companies.

      Pros

      I had a good salary

      Cons

      Horrible management here that fires good, hardworking people due to office politics! Seen that several times. Upper management chooses to cut corners on the quality of the products.

      Pros

      Pays well for professional staff.

      Cons

      Operates like a 28 year old startup instead of a 4 Billion a year company. CEO is non existent and does nothing. Most upper management is homegrown and has no experience with a successful business. Even when outside management is brought in they are stifled. Lodi site in particular is a mess. Director of Manufacturing leads by bullying. VP is too tied up in small details. Worst communication inside a company I have ever seen. This year is cutting merit increases to offset a bad year, but is still hiring VP level staff at 500 a year. Company stresses output over quality, sad for a diagnostics company.
