Pros

Flexi Hours Free pancake on pancake Tuesday (one per staff member)

Cons

No care about staff on a personal level Managers like to use meetings as a way to boost their own egos. Waste of time for anyone involved. Huge emphasis on how the company is performing in sales. Continuous push to get more and more product out the door. Quantity over quality- leading to stressed staff. Recently have been known to let production staff go on the spot with no notice(batch firing). Cramped working conditions. Poor compensation and benefits. Hard to get a car space even though it's outside the city. There is a canteen on site but it is maybe suitable for a much smaller sized company, always felt cramped any time i was in it. Little to no career progression. During my time there there was constant updates on how well the company was doing with regards to sales and growth, but no mention of sharing this success with employees (i.e free shares/salary reviews).

Pros

Direct leader was amazing. Working together efficiently and effectively.

Cons

After dedicating 8 years to Stryker, I was extremely disappointed to learn upon separation that only 40 hours of my accrued PTO would be paid out, despite having accumulated approximately 240 hours. What is most frustrating is that this was never clearly communicated during discussions with HR regarding my departure. Had I known this policy earlier, I could have made different decisions about using my earned time off. Employees invest years of service and should have complete transparency regarding how accrued benefits are handled upon separation. I am sharing this so current employees can educate themselves on the PTO payout policy before making career decisions, as this was an unexpected and costly surprise for me.
