Increasing shareholder value supersedes employee support

Pros

Close by, fair wages and benefits, and experience to touch wide array of projects. Company appears to be attempting to steer itself into better waters, but very slow results.

Cons

Working here is like showing up for "amateur hour" every day, with respect to leadership and their incredibly poor capabilities/interest in leading. This is a reactionary environment that is the exact opposite of a collaborative culture. Leaders work in hushed silence, dictating from the ivory tower without input from the SMEs who ultimately must juggle the haphazard and short-sighted decisions from above. Morale is pathetic and left wanting. This company is a career-killer and a "dead-end" for most.

Pros

Great products that help improve patient lives.

Cons

• Company growth plans lack substance to actually achieve results/goals. It is smoke and mirrors. • Company is crumbling from the inside as a result of poor leadership from CEO and Board of Directors. Executives out of touch with the running of the company. • Culture is toxic. People are afraid to raise their hand if there is an issue or problem for fear of reprisal by executive leaders. • Too many corporate initiatives and projects. Lack of focus to achieve goals. • Not enough employees to get the work done. Over worked employees. Company is unwilling to add full time headcount. Resource gaps are being filled by temp/contract workers. It appears there are more temps and contractors than company employees. In a lot of cases, temps/contractors are making more than company employees. • Moral is very low across Finance, HR, IT, Procurement, R&D and Supply Chain teams. • High employee turnover rates. • No career development for employees. • Overall, keep job searching. Do not waste your time at Avanos. The grass is not greener at Avanos. It is dried up, brown and full of bugs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your input. We appreciate your candor as this is one of our company’s core values. When we launched Avanos a year ago, we did so knowing that we were embarking on a complex, multi-year journey. We started by surveying our employees and customers, identifying focus areas to achieve our vision of benefitting patients. We continue to regularly survey, and believe our employees appreciate that we are using their feedback to adjust and improve. Our focus remains on the long-term success of Avanos, and we’re extremely proud of the progress we have made in just one year. Transformation does not happen overnight. We are building an organization and a culture that reinforces doing the right things the right way, and believe our employees know that the work they’re doing is valuable and meaningful. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts. If you have any additional comments or questions, we invite you to email recruiting.support@avanos.com.

Disappointing

Pros

Great products that have a strong presence

Cons

Management more like MICRO-management and culture. I took this position with excitement which didn't last long. I quickly found what was promised to me and my colleagues was far from the reality. The way this company operates ie: technology and business analytics is far from the level the any medical company should carry themselves. Numbers are always inaccurate. Training is a joke. The admin work in this job (which no one talks about) is next level ridiculous
