Pros

Mrs. Storz is generous to her people with vacation and sick days. Health insurance isn't what it used to be but that's in every company looking to make higher profits.

Cons

The Boys Club is unbelievable. The high up Directors love to take the elevator ride on the girls....and the flirting. The women who are willing to sleep around to get ahead love it. We have the worst bullying I've ever seen for managers. And they cover it up well. Directors believe everything they hear from their managers, many of whom are not qualified to be a manager....can't manage a spreadsheet. The people who punch the time clock are just numbers. There is no interest or caring about people from the management team. People on the floor are treated like animals, not humans. No one cares to acknowledge a person, Many managers don't even know their employees by name....but trash people behind their back to the supervisors! If there is an outing to attend, offered by the Director, managers complain they have to let the people attend...or complain how much it costs. mmmm not their wallet. Low morale. No incentive to do more or try to grow....tried that for years. If you look to advance your told "Well, you don't have a degree". But it is o.k. still to do the work. You just can't have the credit or the pay. It is just a job to have if you need benefits. No one really cares if you do a good job or not. Many don't and the hard workers who have a clue and who care clean up the messes and then leave.

Pros

Great benefits, that's about it...

Cons

First off, this is a very political company. My position is called an OES, in a nut shell we trouble shoot video monitors in an OR setting. Well it was bad from the get go, I mean bad….my manager, in service made enemies with the sales team who were very difficult to deal with….pre-Madonna’s…so we could never build the rapport we needed to enter into this account and get on the same page….something was sure missing….mainly support and communication.….the transition from the previous rep was horrible, he was an a-hole and not friendly towards me, seemed very fake….there was a huge lack of communication and training from the previous rep. Also was told I would have a 3x5 work space to handle emails and process returns when I wasn’t trouble shooting video monitors. I had zero…so when I was not fixing video monitors I would hang out in various departments…oh yes roaming around a hospital waiting for something to do. You can only inspect so much equipment when there is literally no space and a pretentious SPD manager who hates vendors. Just remember...you are very expendable at this company. Chew you up and spit you out at the drop of a hat.

Pros

The past few year have brought some good changes. Business casual dress code and a hybrid work schedule to create better work life balance for employees. Upper Management is starting to focus on DEI and listening to the needs of the employees. There is also long overdue development training for new and existing management.

Cons

Pay is still on the lower end for the industry and hopefully they can continue to correct. Positive culture and work/life balance is not consistent across the departments.
