Pros

Decent benefits, flexible work schedule, great fitness center and staff! Ok work environment. People want to do the right thing but don't know how.

Cons

Management is not open to change. Medical group is run by people that have little to no experience with medical device industry. Procedures are poor and management is unwilling to change. This company is well below industry practices when it comes to maintaining compliance. They do as little possible and documentation trail is really poor. Management culture takes recognition from people rather than recognizing direct reports. No empowerment to work harder. Just keep doing the same thing over and over. They definitely enable each other's poor performance and do not recognize individual performers. Employees give typical excuses of that's the way it's always been done so the culture is resistant to changes or improvements. Systems are old and archaic and difficult to navigate. Training is poor and insufficient.

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
