Pros

The main positives are pay and the benefits, if you're new and like working with your hands the first months are enjoyable and rhe equipment has a nice learning curve, when leadership isnt present the work place is peaceful and fellow technicians and eager and willing to help you whenever you get stuck.

Cons

There is 0 work life balance, you work endless 9hr shifts to no end your constantly pushed to work faster and faster but brutally punished the moment you make the slightest mistakes. Supervisors hound the team to hit numbers but when the number is hit youre rewarded with an increase to the overall goal meaning more overtime and if the goal isnt met then you also get overtime and constant mandatory Saturdays. Leadership doesn't care in the slightest about employee moral theyd rather replace you than insure you're happy. And more and more tyrannical policies are being created and inforced instead of just inforcing already existent policies. Lastly leadership will hold you in a position "based on company needs" increasing your level and bettering yourself is an uphill battle requiring you to constantly bug your supervisor just to find out what requirements you need to meet and depending on your line if you happen to see a position open you want management will actively ignore it in order to not move you or just staright up say no without a good reason other than "this areas in high demand you cant move until i fill all open positions" meaning you're stuck for however long that takes.

Pros

Able to provide care and value to patients all the way through - and on 40 hours a week, for real, with a culture that healthily jobs out a lot of stress. Everyone I work with is competent and glad to be here.

Cons

The above is not true for every corner of the company, and some places have gotten harder to exist in. Hours can run long in some places.

Pros

The da Vinci is a powerful robotics platform and still unmatched by just about everything else in the market. With the product that great comes the experience and access to work with healthcare professionals and hospital systems at a level that is extremely valuable for a long career Medical Device. Also, the value you provide in the technical experience, the training pathway and the Surgeon learning curve to autonomy and the feeling of growing production is great when all the pieces fall into place.

Cons

If you're in an area that has good runway and they just need hands on deck with a supportive manager it's pretty straightforward career progression. However, there's a lot of territories that have been sold into a corner of sorts and because of the specific targets that absolutely need to be sold the management has gotten extremely picky and will specifically target reps from orgs such as JnJ, Applied and Medtronic to come in and flip the remaining surgeons that they've already been selling to.
