      Major culture change after the company split in 2013

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Looking for employees who want to move up the corporate latter. Cash profit sharing for all employees. Good benefits and vacation.

      Cons

      Too much emphasis on shareholders/making a profit and less focus on employee morale . Moved to a pharma model which doesn't work for nutritional sales. Poor work-life balance. New managers who micromanage contributed to a culture of mistrust in the sales force. Many veteran reps have left due to inexperienced managers and culture shift within the company.

      The worst work experience of my life.

      Senior systems analyst

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I made some good friends

      Cons

      No morals. Management is encouraged to lie and steal. They will look for someone to blame when the make mistakes and they will never give you credit when you save the day. They prefer "yes men" to people that can actually think and perform. If you want to grow look somewhere else.

      The compensation and benefits may not be worth it.

      Pros

      The pay and benefits are pretty good. This is a good company for professionals who want to gain experience in the medical device industry and then move on. Many employees enjoy work-life balance, but that may not be consistent across the company.

      Cons

      The company lacks vision and strategy, but manages to be successful in spike of that. I am unimpressed with the management team across multiple functional areas, especially at the VP level. Management is top-heavy throughout the organization. The morale is generally poor, likely caused by frequent employee lay-offs and poor management. The culture is quite hierarchical so if you don't mind just doing what you are told to do, you may not mind the culture.
