Pros

I've worked with some wonderful people on three different product lines. The work can be, at times, rewarding and you do feel a sense of satisfaction in making a quality medical product that will positively impact someone's life.

Cons

Of the three supervisors I've had, two were absolutely worthless people who served only to promote themselves and their friends. This facility is full of knowledgeable, hard-working people who are passed over for recognition and promotion in favor of the friends of the supervisor who do less but kiss-up more. Merit, integrity, and hard work will get you nowhere in this plant, it's all about who you know.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
