Pros
I'm not really sure why anyone would complain about B Braun. It's family owned and stable. I've been here 6 years now, and in everyone of those years we've recieved pay increases and bonuses - even during the recent recession when other companies were cutting pay and benefits. Management seems to care about it's employees, and senior management seems very approachable, even the CEO has an open door policy. They still do a lot of stuff for the employees that other companies have cut like a Children's Holiday Party and Family Picnic. As far as how the company is managed, I'd say the fact that there were no mass layoffs or cuts during the recession in a direct reflection on management's ability to run the business even in tough times. Most management seems very competent and willing to listen to employees' ideas. Overall a nice place to work.
Cons
Some people are too comfortable with the status quo and change happens slowly. It can be fustrating trying to get procedures changed when people cling to the way it's always been done. Sometimes too many layers of approve to get things done.
