Pros

Co-workers and their work ethic

Cons

New executive management their ideology are destroying this company. They are in pursuit of being a world class corporation. The only thing lacking is their immoral and unethical treatment of the employees. They survey after survey, then completely ignore the results and refuse to fix things at the corporate level. The turn-over at STERIS is super high , the executives seem to be enjoying the financial savings with having +900 job openings, while the employees are having to compensate for being short handed. Like literally everything else, the diversity and inclusion policy only applies to the employees at the plants, not the executives. They bully, harass and exclude if you do not belong to the good old boys club. Promotions seldom go to the people truly deserving of them.

Pros

Ok benefits, uniforms , Christmas party and bonuses. Tuition reimbursement. Most of the place is clean. Can't think of much else.

Cons

Shady management, shady coworkers, don't care at all for their employees. Especially long term employees. Too much management and policies. Do not promote from within. Shady coworkers that are bought and paid for by management and will rat you out in a heartbeat. Might even make up stuff.Only butt kissers move up in the company. Also, management are a bunch of hypocrites. An anti the employees. The company acts like they are all high and mighty and you should feel privileged to work there. They want you to have a masters degree to screw on a bolt. The management uses bullying tactics to get rid of long term employees. They preach ethics and diversity but do not practice it themselves. Some of these managers think they are god. And the reason we still need unions in this country are because of companies like Steris.

Pros

At a time when I needed a job Steris hired me and I will always be thankful for that. I worked for Steris for almost 10 years and for the most part it was an enjoyable experience, the benefits were good and management was very flexible in helping me attain my bacholors degree. Who knows maybe one day I'll return.

Cons

Working at Steris can be difficult for minorities but the company is trying to change the culture but it will take some time. The pay could be better and the raises are low but I was comfortable and the work was very stable. I decided to move on after I felt the economy had stabilized after the recession.
