Pros

Checks clear and are on time but are probably 20 percent or more less than what you'd make at just about every other global medical device company

Cons

If you want an executive lesson in how not to run a medical device company, pay close attention to COOK: scuttling dozens of devices that save lives, nothing new in the pipeline, head-in-sand approach to competition, no gratitude for long-time employees who built the company into what it is today, employees who are shown the door because the COVID crisis was seen as an "opportunity" to get rid of legacy executives...rather than a calamity

May be good for others but not a good fit for me

Pros

Company has a long history in medical devices

Cons

You get no support from management on moving sales forward. They have burned bridges with doctors and hospitals that make it impossible to be a preferred vendor in accounts. It's all on you

Pros

The actual work itself is simple and redundant. Everything is on the same schedule and pace just like a factory, so there is little to no surprises.

Cons

The place is a continuation of high school with constant gossip, inappropriate discussions, and a lack of leadership. Upper Management has unrealistic demands to meet goals, and drops most of the load on the floor workers. Because Cook is bleeding (and has been for a while), instead of cutting back, they decided to submit even more orders, expecting the employees to increase their numbers, while simultaneously getting paid the same lousy wages. In addition, the mandatory overtime was initially awarded with weekly bonuses, equating to $450 to $600 guaranteed a month. Then they gave everyone a dollar raise and immediately ended the bonus program, hoping that no one would notice. Overall, the company has great people who work hard, and then an old boys club that sit atop the pyramid, watching their cash cow become infected with the incurable disease of greed and poor management.
