Pros

You will have no competition if trying to get a job here.

Cons

There was an awful disaster in this division on 6/11/14 when the FDA issued a mandatory recall on the entire Renasys AWD product line. No product to sell, all customers that took so long to establish have jumped ship and will most likely not return if product ever makes it back to market next year.

Cons

Direct management not involved 100% with production expectations. Not compliant with deadlines. Lack of constructive communications between departments. Lack of concern for morale is exhausting. Most managers appear to have been with the company long time and consider themselves none replaceable

Pros

The medical products that they offer are definitely great. They have a competitive benefit package for their employees at fairly reasonable cost. The time off policy is good compared to most other companies.

Cons

Work life balance is horrible, there is an expectation to do a lot more with less. The bureaucracy of getting things done is overwhelming. No one communicates with the people that actually does the job and the disconnect between corporate and middle managers is horrible.
