Pros

cant say I have any

Cons

Leadership at RMS GBU is a joke, all friends of friends, incompetent, and inept. They hold value- added employees back and promote or bring on board totally incompetent employees so that they can remain in power-its a leadership of instability, misinformation, chaos and resource shortages and changes constantly. They are unethical, quality is last, they are clueless about making an organic, clinically relevant products, they cannot get any product through development. It is a revolving door, more good employees leaving than ones coming in. Don't tell them the truth, you'll be fired for not being a team player. Recruitment lies to you, they will take forever to bring you in, and management will make promises that they have no intention to keep. there is no review of your performance, competencies or contributions, no investment in employee training/education, no rationale for bonus structure or merit increases (if you get any). Currently laying off to centralize and remove those that "disrupt" the exec leadership by talking straight about the issues. Don't bother coming to RMS, look to EbD or Supplies (Pharma is being sold and imaging soon to go too). Overall, it may get better, but your better off trying to make a difference in a smaller company that welcomes your expertise. Why are more and more Medical companies putting the patient last and the $$ first? If they can get away with cutting corners and hiding things they will. Look elsewhere, SERIOUSLY
