Bad management

Pros

All health care essentially paid for, also, competitive 401k plan. In general, the facilities are quite nice. Some equipment is fairly old/hand-me-downs but in general, the company keeps them running at an acceptable level.

Cons

Horrible management, the top directors are absolute idiots with zero leadership or social skills. Awful work atmosphere; there is a serious disconnect between workers and management. In addition, every department is segmented and do not work well together; they are quick to assign blame onto other people/departments. Even within departments, there is a divide between the younger workers and the older technicians. In general, I found the majority of workers here to be extremely immature, regardless of their age. It felt like I was back in high school, with cliques and the ensuing attitudes. Everything is traced back to the parent company at Switzerland, which makes logistics difficult.

Pros

Good health benefits, supportive co-workers

Cons

Lack of training, lack of opportunities, very limited career growth opportunities, some departments are run by incompetent directors who have absolutely no accountability just because they have worked there for years.
