Terrible Work/Life Balance

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is decent. There are plenty of coworkers that are smart and able. I can only speak for my position and department (Operations).

Cons

There is absolutely no work/life balance. The management does not know anything that is actually going on with operations and, when advised of a problem, they simply do not listen. Very poorly run department within their spine division. Absolutely no appreciation for their employees. The company runs like a high school full of gossip and rumours. I honestly felt like most of the employees were the people who graduated at the bottom of their class. Not a lot of talent.

Business Outlook

Pros

Standout performers are recognized and rewarded. Most of management is open to bottom up suggestion, values work-life balance, and trying to do the right thing.

Cons

The reward is often more work. This leads to employee burnout, and loss of our best employees. There can be a lot of tedious unnecessary work due to poor information systems.
