Pros

$50,000+ per year for entry level position. My co-workers were usually very good people. Everyone had the "we're in it together" mentality, and would help each other.

Cons

Employees are expected to work 84 hours per week (12 hrs a day, 7 days a week). Working conditions are very bad, to the point of bending workplace laws. There was an ongoing promise that we would get Sunday off, but that promise was broken weekly.

Pros

Flexible work hours, work from home, excellent healthcare.

Cons

You have good employees and great products but you do not care about your employees whatsoever and it shows. You treat them as though their lives and the sacrifices they make mean nothing. This is exhibited by the poor pay, excessive work hours due to waves of layoffs at multiple levels(Field Engineers, Managers, etc..), terrible management at every level, lack of advancement opportunities and the lack of any incentives to do anything but the minimum amount of work required. The complete lack of proper training this company provides is ridiculous. I was expected to work on 5 different kinds of MRI machines, CT, PET, and Ultrasound all with 3 weeks of training. Add to that a hostile work environment that starts with the VP of Field Service and is translated all the way down to the district managers. This couldn't be a more unfriendly and stressful place to work.
