      Filled with Manufacturing ("Operations") executives who don't understand customers.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work life balance is better than average. Many employees work less than 40 hour weeks for full time pay. Nice facilities.

      Cons

      Company resources are used to tell employees who they should vote for in federal elections (for conservative candidates who oppose healthcare reform). Manufacturing ("Operations") mindset in executive management prevents empathy for customers and patients. Product quality problems go unresolved indefinitely in spite of massive "Quality" organizations. Quality System is an empty facade for many products - it serves only to pass FDA audits and produces very poor return on investment. Everyone is extremely title sensitive and tenure sensitive. New hires are not respected their first two years regardless of experience and competence.

      Pros

      Relatively decent salary in relation to the market. Good work-life balance. Unlimited sick time available. Good 401K match (for at least the time being).

      Cons

      Management - all levels...it's a brotherhood of dull white guys. Tow the line or be fired. Outsourcing everything...manufacturing, IT, Software dev. Location - Arden Hills is depressing. You're one of the chosen few if you can see a window from your cube.
