I worked in a warehouse, in the beginning we were encouraged to want to advance. But as management changed, they made lead positions fixed and unless they left that position, there was never a chance to do more. They also didn't want ideas from the workers that did the same job everyday, they preferred to hire new engineers to do that. It was emphasized that a warehouse worker's thoughts were useless. The biggest Con, beware of being put on LTD. The facility i worked at, I could have worked in the office instead of permanent disability, but management for that facility preferred a separation of Office & Warehouse. While it's great still getting medical benefits, the 60% pay of when you were put on LTD is rough. And there is no adjustment or pay increase if you are out for years. You will be quickly forgotten. As the Doctors have told me, it's the way of big business; they'd rather stick you in the system and forget than help you be beneficial to them. I truly love the company, the products are the absolute Best, but being forgotten on LTD is a road that leads to depression and self doubt.

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.
