Pros

If lucky enough to get in before the benefit was stopped being offered - pension benefits. Most benefits same as anywhere else. Nothing unique.

Cons

The company is targeting layoffs at those with 15+ years of service - save salary and accumulated benefits. Medical cost is extremely high. Unlimited vacation - hard to get 3 weeks off and unlimited means no vacation payout under layoff benefits. Work environment has been in turmoil for at least 4-5 years with management scrambling to save their own jobs by bad mouthing or tripping up other departments. Work production slow due to constant layoff fear. It's very disappointing to see a once successful company fall so far.

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.
