Pros

Anything that could have been considered a pro working at Storz has been whittled away and selectively removed for corporate gains.

Cons

In the last five years it has been a constantly evolving crapshoot of corporate directives and new visions. The upper management has done everything possible to improve their processes by holding countless management meetings and hiring an outside consultant to analyze the workflow. The consultants determined that 90% of the issues were with management, and convoluted redundant tasks pushed farther and farther down the line to the busiest personnel. After receiving the report from the consultants they determined that they would take the recommendations and do the opposite. This led to a steadily widening gap between management and employees. It was clear the management had received corporate directives which were then parroted along without questions or pushback. The most recent restructuring caused an exodus of the best talent, leaving the good workers to pick up their loads. Next wave will leave only the workers that can’t afford to change jobs and are happy to get a check. I don’t see a future at this company. Should be seen as a stepping stone only, if you’re willing to endure the pain.

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Pros

Good benefits, good amount of vacation time.

Cons

Poor middle and upper management. Although a lot of vacation time is given, you are not able to use it if you do not meet the percentage of your team. Meaning more than one person could not take time off at a time, This is a bad work place for your mental health.
