Pros

Health care industry - ironically some of the poorest health care benefits for a company this size, given how much money they make selling over priced devices and implants. Valuable work experience??

Cons

Poor pay - The VP of HR has stated that their goal is to pay at the 50th percentile (i.e. strictly average) but hire top talent. Poor work life balance - most managers are clock watchers and care about the hours put in and not the results. Outdated facilities - other than the Corporate and Orthopedic facilities, company doesn't like to reinvest in its business. This is a great company to invest in if you're a shareholder, they deliver value by screwing their employees!

Pros

Highly energetic co-workers. The company encourages building relationships and having a "best friend at work". There is opportunity to change roles, but only at your manager's discretion.

Cons

- There is absolutely NO work-life balance. Be prepared to be burned out. - The pay is the worst I've seen compared to the company's top competitors. - Management is COMPLETELY metrics driven. - Promotions are based on the relationships you build, not the work you do. - The turnover is extremely high. - Most employees have worked with the company for 3 years or less, and I don't see this changing anytime soon.
