Pros

Inside. Easy work most of the time. Good co workers. Great benefits

Cons

Management has no clue about what's to do. They have so many people out on short term disability and expect the same amount of work to get done. And most Fridays 1-2 guys go home early or don't come in and the "coach" tells us it "CAN'T AFFECT PRODUCTION " are you serious!?!?!?!? In about to leave. It used to be halfway decent place to work till they hired a bunch of prior military men as supervisors. They want to control you like they are still on base( I was in the Marines). In the real world you can't treat grown, smart men like children. We all feel belittled. And when we say things are messed up the answer isn't to find a way to fix it its "well just keep schedule ". Good pay. Slave treatment. Treat your employees good and the business will succeed. "Happy employees are good employees " once they learn this it'll be nice .

Pros

My first job after college and my internship was a great experience. I learned a lot about medical devices and the medical device industry, and I even got promoted to site leader pretty quickly.

Cons

My training was nonexistent; I learned everything from medical device service manuals. In my region, a billion-dollar company offered no bonuses or decent pay, and the management was micromanaging and horrible.
