Pros

Will have to get back to you.

Cons

Where to begin? First and foremost, profits before people. Second, absolutely terrible communication/coordination top to bottom, cross discipline, and inter-site. Constantly redoing the org structure as if that will fix enterprise-wide leadership shortcomings. HR dept, top to bottom, is highly incompetent yet unjustifiably empowered. Constant executive level turnover: 3 CFOs, 3 SVP of Ops, 3 Controllers, (at least) 3 reorganizations of senior commercial team, revolving door of plant managers/plant leadership all in last 2 years -- and there's no end in sight. The irony is that the despite the name of this organization, there is no innovation, no new products, just failed acquisitions. If you want to be miserable, always left in the dark, be part of a reactive organization with no vision/direction, but be given a free lunch every now and again and told how lucky you are to work at such a wonderful place in such a phony culture, giddy up!

Pros

Employees looking to gain career skills in the medical device industry can learn a lot from working here. This organization currently manufactures Class I and II medical devices and distributes prescription drugs.

Cons

The amount of work that falls on most all employees is baffling. Typically a single person runs the entire department for their business unit. For a company that sells its products globally, there is simply too much work for one person to do at any given time. Pushing product out the door is top priority, while quality of the work is only an afterthought. The organization is constantly in a state of emergency damage control. Stagnant wages; no promotions, merit increases, or growth opportunities. You might see a small bonus each year, but only after headquarters threatens your business unit with withholding your bonus due to your unit’s inability to meet their arbitrary performance metrics. No career growth. I have only seen employees who work closely with headquarters execs receive promotions. High turnover rate. Low morale.

Pros

Historically has been a great place to start your career and gain great work experience in a friendly environment

Cons

Communication on work expectations, performance, compensation, etc. has become extinct. Since the buyout by Private Equity most of the corporate employees have resigned or been fired leading to a very low morale in the office.
