Good and Bad. A - Manager Omnicell Employee Review

The company exhibits both strengths and weaknesses. How this impacts your experience is contingent upon the quality of your immediate supervisor (as is typically the case). While there are indeed remarkable leaders at Omnicell, the recent leadership appointment in the field service team (Field Service Director) leaves much to be desired. Last year, following the retirement of the previous Director, a hasty decision was made by a soon-to-depart VP to appoint the current Field Service Director. Regrettably, this individual has demonstrated a proclivity for arrogance and self-centered behavior, seemingly prioritizing personal career advancement over fostering a collaborative and supportive team environment. Recently, this director has even advocated for identifying and removing individuals who voice concerns (“complainers”), through our company surveys, fostering a culture of mistrust and apprehension rather than open communication and collaboration. This type of behaviour and similar comments has fostered a tension within the bigger team, discouraging team members from freely expressing their views in group discussions, for fear of repercussions. It is somewhat ironic to see someone who oversaw the worst performing region in the country receiving a promotion, raising questions and concerns regarding the criteria for leadership appointments in our company. However, it’s worth noting that there is a lot of hope and potential within the company. Despite the turmoil and the financial setbacks experienced over the recent period, there is a team of dedicated individuals, along with many solid leaders that do inspire optimism for the future. Having said that, achieving that vision will be hampered with the type of ineffective leadership mentioned above. Many are hopeful that senior management will intervene to rectify this situation, before too much more damage is done.
