Pros

Great opportunities for growth. Covidien's acquisitions and focus on cutting edge technologies will ensure Covidien's staying power in the medical device arena.

Cons

Upcoming changes in healthcare may/could effect current workforce, i.e., taxes on medical devices could result in additional layoffs or workforce consolidation.
