This place is a circus of poor management

Pros

Very few pros, but they have a good 401K program

Cons

Lots of turnover resulting in lots of different and conflicting direction. Management has no care for the customer. Danaher already has very lean policies and Leica takes it exponentially further with even leaner policies. No money is spent on employees, tools, etc. This place is a carnival of dysfuntion!!

Pros

There are some great people working at this company - willing to go the extra mile, real team players. Generally speaking, a great portfolio of products with a strong brand reputation.

Cons

There are a ton of great, hardworking individuals, and the rest are sailing, yet somehow are getting the recognition for their great work. Leaders don't seem to understand the market but tell the sales team to just sell, and take little accountability when things go sideways, and don't listen. In-house departments seem overworked. Internal groups don't seem to be cross-functional (between the manufacturing sites, production, and marketing), and can't seem to get an answer to things. Overall culture seems to be focused on bottom-line. The diversity and inclusion seems to be a push, but it certainly isn't really diverse, if this matters to you. You're only good when you're producing, but in the new year, it's a clean slate again.

Absolutely no pros at this company

Cons

Toxic work culture, no training, high turn over rate, bad management, lean teams so work is insane, management only cares about numbers and meeting deadlines.
