Pros

Products / Technology in many medical specialties Innovation Global reach & distribution Great brand recognition Patient focused organization Truly a company that can make a difference and positive impact Opportunity for advancement

Cons

Lack of people with leadership abilities or longterm vision Management kicks the can down the road Goals or vision rarely shared by upper management Leadership only communicates amongst top executives without sharing goals with the worker bees Promotions here only mean a new title and more responsibility, but often no pay increase Advancement within the headquarters is based upon who you know, not skillset, ambition or abilities Significant politics inside the HQ

Pros

I left my old wage here because Cook just gave a $1 increase to current employees but not new ones, so yeah.. any ways the Benefits, Schedule flexibility, and Overtime are probably the only good things.

Cons

Higher-ups suck. Ranging from team leads to middle management. Lots of other departments are typically nice, but some departments are all about control and leave no room for moving up, especially with all the favoritism each department has.
