Pros

Great company to work for. FPM works to invest in its employees and see their potential within the company continue to expand. Global involvement allows for tremendous exposure and potential opportunities at sites all across the world that wouldn't necessarily be available in other industries. Their commitment to employee safety during operations is also highly commendable, as it gives the employee the power to stop any and all work if it is deemed unsafe for any reason.

Cons

Lots of red tape involved in purchases and some processes, as is common with many large companies.

Pros

There are people that care about their work, but this mainly falls into the Quality group and the developmental group. Sustaining has its good eggs, but there are outnumbered. The receiving and shipping team are a fantastic group that put in a whole lot of work for the lack of help that they tend to have. (It was just 2-3 people really) A good stepping stone into the medical device field and to get experience. Take time to read the regulatory requirements, so you can take the knowledge elsewhere.

Cons

One issue is that when it comes to operations, there are decisions that are made to force a product into a new stage too soon. Incoming Quality is primarily a group that is very set in their ways and are hard headed when it comes to change or new components coming in. They do tend to get hit hard with having to also support the floor production as well, but if they stop taking a morning break as soon as they come in and don’t chit chat and complain about their job, they would have more time to get through their backlog. There are groups in the operators that are stuck in the toxic ways “pushing for numbers” due to previous toxic management. That needs to be addressed. There is a disconnect between the shifts on what needs done and how it is done. Tribal knowledge is very much a thing that needs minimized both on the floor and off the floor. Position growth is almost nonexistent. You basically have to have a job offer in hand for them to provide you one even though your supervisor and manager provide all the necessary information (if you’re lucky with your supervisor and manager). Pay is not competitive at all outside of basic operator levels. Benefits are not the best, but can work if you really just need something. Company Culture is lacking very much. Pushback on the clients when it comes to tolerance stacking and just overall design issues is almost nonexistent due to fear of losing the client.
