Pros

The company offers growth opportunities across departments and occupies a cool market niche with their non-invasive medical imaging systems.

Cons

Canfield suffers from systemic disorganization and company-wide communication issues, as well as a very high degree of micromanagement that trickles down directly from the CEO. The company culture is very focused on "maintaining the status quo" with very few people, if any, willing to speak out against the failings of their supervisors or improve company processes. It is also often necessary to perform other people's jobs or babysit them in order for your work to be done, which is seldom recognized by management and sometimes even criticized.

Stable Company that Invests in its Employees

Pros

Management is approachable and when you do good work, you’ll usually get rewarded with more $$ and responsibility. You can also move within the company: if you find something that interests you outside of your department, you can usually work on it or transfer roles. Good amount of time off, family oriented.

Cons

Need to replace “Reply All” to emails with project management software, sometimes information isn't shared between departments. Health benefits are “just ok.”

I appreciate the comment and am proud that our management team is very approachable. I wish more employees would take advantage of a dialog with senior managers when they feel it’s necessary. We have looked at various project management software but not yet found one that meets our needs. We need to balance under- and over-communicating, and welcome employee suggestions for better tools in that area.
