Pros

A very little paycheck each week. Work experience, clocking out, lunch time, some coworkers, and that is about it.

Cons

If you start off as a temp. Be very prepared for low wages and no benefits for a very long time. Depending on what the "official headcount" is for your department. You can be a temp from 8 months to 5 years. That means no pay raises, paid vacation, no insurance, or any other benefits. Stryker does not value their temp employees nor their regular employees all that well. They only think that people with higher education are only ones with a brain. 90% of upper and mid management are very arrogant. They value a 4 to 6 year degree more with no experience than those with many years of work experience. They have a high turnover rate due to lower management pointing fingers. This is causing the many quality issues they are having. Another reason they have a high turnover rate is the low pay among the temp employees. It is a shame that a janitorial job with a different company pays $2.00 more than the 1st shift workers get at SSS in Lakeland, FL. There is also a lot of favoritism that goes around. Do yourself a favor. If you see Kelly Services with job postings for a medical company. Just ignore it unless you truly need a job at the time, until you find something better.

Pros

-Overall high level of talent that you work with -Massive Economies of Scale -Healthy bonus related to healthy company performance

Cons

- Poor Work/Life Balance - HR really only works for Director's and up, and enables their behavior regardless of alignment with company values. Just there to protect the shield - Upstream Marketing has little to know upward growth or trajectory even with years of high ratings on reviews. Must carry the bag to grow career at Stryker.
