Pros

The former Guidant employees still makes this workplace a good place to be.

Cons

They only care about profits. They don't update their software, laptops, computers, printers, etc. We still have Internet Explorer 8 which doesn't work with our current apps then you end up calling IT which is also contracted out somewhere in India. They laid off our shipping/receiving and facilities people whose average years of service is 20+ and contract them out. Now we are being asked to pick up our own Fed Ex/shipments doesn't matter the size because they left one person to handle a 3-man job. And did I mention that hourly employees only gets 6 sick days a year.. and get this at 75% of pay? Yap! You get 100% of pay for all 6 sick glory days when you reach 15 years of service. In comparison to hotel workers in San Francisco gets 10 days full pay. Great company huh. Stay away!
