Cook Medical Inc reviews

This company is stuck in the past. Cook Medical believes because they were successful in the past they will be in the future. Management provides no vision for the company to employee's, totally lacks a strategy, and hires based on who you know not what you know. The pay is the lowest in the medical device industry and the company also has one of the worst vacation schedules (PTO) (one day for Christmas, one day for thanksgiving, and one day for July 4...come on). No one in the company can tell you how to get promoted (not even your manager). You basically need to wait around and hope someone taps you on the shoulder and promotes you. The raises at Cook are horrible, maybe 2% if you work in Marketing, around 4% in Engineering. Raises are not based on what you contribute, they come down from "the top."

Managers in some positions are only there because nobody else wanted the job or they are someone's favorite, not necessarily the right person for the job. Pay is way low compared to other companies we compete against
