Pros

Hours are ok, gives you a decent work life balance. Pay is pretty decent because you're working 12 hr shifts so you're getting overtime everyday.

Cons

Management sits in a conference room and makes decisions with no idea what's going on. Treat employees like they're a burden and management should be thanked for the privilege of being allowed to work there. They're really serious about safety... unless it's their fault, then it's not an issue. They will find an excuse to fire anyone that has an accident, but they will also install lights on the pallet jacks that prevent you from using the brakes and think that's ok. Definition of a dead end job.

Pros

Working at STERIS has been a rewarding experience, especially if you’re someone who isn’t afraid to put in the effort. One of the biggest advantages is that your earning potential is directly tied to the amount of work you put in. If you’re motivated, proactive, and willing to take on responsibility, you can truly earn great money here. The company gives you the opportunity to grow, learn, and take on more whenever you’re ready. It’s a place where hard work is recognized and often rewarded, making it a strong fit for people who enjoy being in control of their own success. If you’re driven and want a job where your hustle actually shows up in your paycheck, STERIS is a solid choice.

Cons

On the downside, the job can be challenging due to frequent product shortages, which makes it difficult to meet customer needs and hit goals especially when there’s little support from corporate to resolve these issues. Another major frustration is that when you take vacation, you're still working, because there’s no real backup to cover your territory. The role also requires a lot of travel, which can be demanding and exhausting over time. Lastly, promotions are few and far between, so career advancement can feel slow despite strong performance. Overall: STERIS can be a great place for someone who wants control over their earnings and doesn’t mind putting in significant effort. However, lack of support, constant travel, and limited growth opportunities may make it challenging for long‑term satisfaction.
