Pros

A few good, niche products. Great stepping stone. If you do well here you will excel at forward thinking, reputable company. PTO off verses vacation days, sick leave, etc. which gives nice flexibility. Manufacturing is local with easy access.

Cons

Nepotism is rampant. Brutal 3 week training by ex US Surgical Good Ol' boys club. Repays great performance and loyalty by firing someone on a whim yet keeps underperformers who "kiss butt." The company garners very little respect within the medical industry. Stock options that will never pay off. Definitely a "B" or "C" player.

Pros

Company mantra is that it is a 'learning organization' which is only partially true. Great technology and refreshing business model to produce internally and not outsource development or manufacturing.

Cons

Power and control exhibited from the top - no empowerment, smoke and mirrors, never know when you will have your 'last day' or be moved with a different title. Family places other family members in control to ensure shares are in the right hands which protects the empire. To survive, you must be a follower; smile while you drink the kool-aid.
