Pros

-Good work/life balance. -Nearly impossible to get fired I could complete my daily deliverables by 10 am, and I'd spend the rest of the day going for walks and reading in the garden. Seriously, I've never had more downtime in my life. I read so many books and listened to so many podcasts.

Cons

-Very poor, inexperienced lower management. -Laughably poor systems and operations practices. -Very little business practice documentation. -Many colleagues have only worked at Arthrex, and don't know any better. Furthermore, many of them are brainwashed, and it's scary. -A clear and frightening level of nepotism. -Many employees are hourly (with little to no benefits) when they really should be salaried. After coming from a major med device company, Arthrex was like entering the twilight zone. Now, I can only speak to the operations side of the company, but communication is incredibly poor throughout Arthrex. On top of that, they don't believe in work instructions or finding best practices. They just prefer to keep everything as is. Although, I have to hand it to Reinhold, because the company is very successful, but its success is despite their ops team. It's clear upper management is the reason for their success, and they let lower management run on cruse control. At any given time they can have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of product on backorder because of packaging/labeling issues. Things that could be solved with better management and updated systems.

Pros

Free lunch, some good people, decent vacations. Free lunch. Five year vacation. Nice offices and some training. Holiday parties were good a few years ago.

Cons

Too much politics, favoritism, limited job growth, a lot of encouraged back stabbing, and limited trust in employees. Management thinks they know everything and in some cases this is the only place they have worked.
