      GI Endoscopy division has great products but the quality of management is terrible

      Sales

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Products are well received by most physicians.

      Cons

      Most Region Managers are puppets to egocentric senior managers. Prior senior management used to be pro sales but now are very self absorbed and short sighted. There have been several acquisitions made in companies that are not producing and the fault is with the sales reps not the fact the products not being vetted properly. Pay has been decreased for sales reps because senior management gets paid on profit and loss and it's a quick way to give themselves a raise.

      Typical, Bottom-Line Driven Corporation Only Growing Through Acquisition

      Senior quality engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fun and interesting employees, good benefits (holidays, vacation, med, dental, etc.). Adequate facilities/sites. Good quality products with a few acquired outliers that make a good difference in peoples' lives.

      Cons

      Only lip-service to quality, and lack of understanding and seriousness regarding compliance with regulations. Middle-management fiddles while Rome burns, and upper-management accepts the sterilized data they're given. No room for excellent, experienced workers who understand the company and the industry, and they are systematically and periodically let go in waves of layoffs every year. Experienced workers are traded up for inexperienced workers at all professional levels/areas without the experience and history to call out their superiors' incompetence, and decision-making is based on cronyism. Business-as-usual is the mantra, and as is typical of large businesses since 2008 they are more interested in squeezing more hours and effort out of current employees to expand profits and bonuses than improving systems/processes or hiring additional workers for expansion.
