Fast career advancement if you're capable, with good work ethic and get lucky. I've been all 3 at various times in my career here. Salary after a few years is at least competitive and work-life balance is pretty good. Opportunities for training is good too.
Cons
If you're not lucky or very, very motivated you can easily stagnate in your career here. Colleagues have spent long stretches in the same job title and salary (5-10 years in some cases). And these are capable, diligent employees. Job security is fairly low, but it depends at which site you're working. Management is still out of touch and treats employees like children at times.

Thanks for taking the time to write about your Teleflex career.
You made some good points about what it takes to advance at Teleflex, and I think your observations would be true at most companies. People do need to take the initiative to let their manager know about their career aspirations. We offer many opportunities to do that at Teleflex through monthly progress reviews, individual development plans and a variety of training programs for people at all levels.
It's great that you are feeling empowered in your new role.
