Pros

1. Can work from home occassionally, pending who your manager is (as some are more restrictive than others) 2. Every other Friday off (during June, July and August only) 3. Pension

Cons

1. Below-standard office facilities and culture 2. Executive management does not care for employees, treating them as numbers and tools and trying to overwork them for business growth. 3. Rushed, no planning, and fire-fighting culture with middle management constantly in a panic mode and a "just do something - anything" attitude when there is an issue to keep their jobs. 4. In just 6-7 years this place has gone from a slightly above average work environment to one that is well below average with many people who were fed up and left. 5. While business is growing significantly every year, people are getting treated worse and worse with more and more niceties (such as summer amusement park party and Christmas party) stripped away piece by piece every year. 6. Trying to hire more and more inexperienced people or people from Mexico and give them lowball job offers to reduce costs. 7. Promotion is based on popularity and favoritism instead of skills and experience. There is no standard for job promotions. 8. Executives are lot more concerned with their bonuses than people

Pros

Work life balance, great high functioning local teams, small territories, company cars, pension, great technology that constantly evolves.

Cons

Marketing and senior leadership is completely out of touch with the field. 20 years of industry dominance squandered by failing to adapt to new technology, basically overnight. All of this could have been avoided buying a specific company or devoting time to building PFA tech before the other companies. It can be extremely difficult to move into a sales role as a clinical, especially on the ultrasound side. Almost all companies have a path from clinical to sales, except for BWI/ j an j MedTech. Promotion pathways and role leveling has changed 4 times in the 6 years I’ve been here and not once has it had any positive effect. Extremely difficult to understand commission pay structures that always seem to eat away at what you should be taking home. What was once the best pension ever has been removed in favor of a lump sum payout. Pay is less than other similar companies and you are made to feel you can’t leave because of pension and benefits.
