Greedy, dishonest and soul crushing.

Pros

If you can tolerate the B.S., then you might get a company vehicle, phone, 407 etc.

Cons

Steris sees their employees as parts in a machine. After they squeeze every bit of work out of you, and you need stress leave, they will just fire you instead of honouring their employment contract with you. Be prepared to sue to get your due.

Business Outlook

Pros

A good place to gain industry experience.

Cons

Pay is very low and as a consequence the company does not attract talented employees. Most are under qualified and poorly trained. The company's has cut its workforce so drastically that quality suffers. Cutting corners is routine and employees are pressured to ignore quality and safety problems. This is evidenced by the quality problems with the STERIS 1 and the resulting consent decree with the FDA earlier this year. Their excellent safety record is just a facade because employees are pressured to refrain from reporting injuries.
