Pros

Great pay and really awesome workplace culture! Company still owned by family who started it, so everything is done to help the company and their customers, not to show stock price increases. Jobs are spread around the US and are good paying, great jobs.

Cons

Changes can be made quickly, although most are positive, some changes can be negative such as pay structure or resource changes.

Pros

Karl Storz makes phenomenal products and they have a very personable and talented sales and marketing staff. Charlie and the departments that report in to him are excellent!

Cons

Karl Storz is a privately owned family company with headquarters in the forest in Germany. Germany and Germans run this company and they never let you forget it! The Germans know everything and take little to no advice from non-Germans when it comes to just about anything! The culture is all about Germany! Ownership and upper management in departments outside of sales and marketing are completely disconnected to markets outside of Europe. In general it’s a sausage party, even though the company was run by a woman for decades there are very few non-German women in leadership roles outside of sales and marketing. This is not a place for any woman or any other type of minority to excel or grow in their career outside of sales and marketing (because those positions report up to Americans).
