Cook Medical Inc reviews

There isn't a lot of skill at Cook, as a whole. Much of the leadership team here doesn't have any former experience in the roles they were required to fill. For over 10 years the lead person in IT has been a livestock farmer with no formal education. It feels like everyone is a child 'playing house.' There also isn't much work to be done in IT. They make it seem like a lot of work, but that is just because they lack skill and will need 5 heads to solve a single problem. . There is also zero job training, zero job growth, and big chance your yearly raise will be lower than expected because leadership needed the money to clean up their mess. Remote work ruined Cook, allowing everyone to hide at home while not doing their assigned job. Everything went from taking a week to taking a month to complete. Good riddance.

As with any organization, factories tend to have a level of politics and interpersonal relations issues. Cook struggles with maintaining a positive environment. Management, in particular, seems to micromanage. This may be due to lack of positive employee initiative. Positive reinforcement is underutilized hindering work ethics and overall employee morale. Opportunities for advancement seem to be left to chance or "people you know" philosophy. Many employees may go 15 years before offered a promotion. However, a Bachelors degree may expedite advancement after 1 year of full-time employment. As of now, they are hiring using an employment agency, and as long as you are a decent worker and don't have a problem with attendance, they usually hire within a few months. Again, attendance is their main concern, and their policy is somewhat strict.
