Frequent Turnover Leads to Career Suicide

Pros

Initial salary is competitive, as is the stock options and AIP. These targets are competitive in spirit only. Nice modern office. Great location to look for other jobs if needed. I have to be fair, the benefit are great and the salary is probably excellent for any non-manager. Also, there are great inspiring senior leaders, but too few. Most are very short term and its evident when you look at VP turnover vs President/Executive.

Cons

Frequent turnover of the management staff leads to a culture of chaos and uncertainty. A new manager comes in torpedoes you in your performance review each year because they don't know everything you've worked on. The starting salaries are competitive, however reaching the next echelon is extremely difficult because you always taking the blame from the previous management regime. It is a frequent culture of blaming the last person and not taking accountability. I have worked here for over 5 years and i have never seen such a poor work life balance. I am trying to be fair, was i have met almost everyone in the main offices. Very few, with the exception of receptionist and customer service, the work hours are expected 12 hour minimum. I have not been able to take a holiday in almost 3 years, including xmas and thanksgiving. My work week is 7 days and my health has suffered.

Pros

fair salaries, good benefits package, great facility, challenging work and lots of opportunities to learn from peers and management.

Cons

lots of restructuring, especially at the management level and beyond. focus is on how good we look to investors. frequent talk of lowering annual raises for emmployees in order to make yearly earnings look better, however upper management always get their fat bonuses

Thanks for writing about Teleflex. Your positive remarks indicate that salaries are fair and benefits are good. Annual raises are determined using a market based approach and Teleflex will always want to remain competitive with other companies to ensure we are attractive to job seekers and we retain our employees.

Pros

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.
