Don't trust anyone here

Pros

Decent benefits, long history in the lab industry and...I can't think of anything else!

Cons

Sales and marketing is akin to a cult where the new VP thinks he's on a crusade rather than trying to rebuild a failed sales organization. He's the guy who wears a smile on his face while planning to knife you in the back. Most of the regional managers he appointed fall in line with the crusade like behavior, political manuevering and setting people up in order to fire them. A lot of good sales reps have been set up because they didn't follow the crusaders. This management team (including the CEO) are about as disingenuous as they come. Keep your head down, thoughts to yourself (no matter what they say) and keep/get your resume out there. A rep on board for 2 years is considered an old timer. As titled, Don't trust anyone here. Unfortunately I did,

Pros

There are some good people in Technical Services and Meridian has some good products in the foodborne arena. A decent overall value for hospitals for many of their tests when reimbursement is considered.

Cons

This place smells hugely of old-school management philosophy where motivation comes through fear of keeping your job. There is a constant and unrelenting need to keep up with saying the right thing always whether it's true or not. Insincere compliments and excitement are expected to posted on yammer. The primary product was late to market and has little chance of catching up. Sales and marketing are a revolving door where the best get let go or leave. It's a mess.

Pros

Competitive Health coverage at a good price. Small company get to know almost everyone easily.

Cons

There is a massive disconnect between upper management and middle management. Upper management appears to want an environment of integrity, but when the message comes from middle management it is more about do what ever it takes to get the job done, regardless of health, saftey, or legal stipulations. The company has opporated for aproximatly 35 years the health and safety officer position was created in 2009, he does not get full coporation from middle managers that are adverse to change and his support from uppermanagement does not always line up with the new culture of saftey they are trying to create. Because of the companies size there is limited room for growth, no corporate mentoring system to help with career development. Lower level employees work is used to is sited as the reason for the promotion of managers. Promotions have been offered and then withdrawn. Employees are afraid of HR, conversations that are suposed to be confidentail, are not always kept confidential.
