Pros
SOME great, dedicated, hardworking people that care about the customers, products and patients who these products are being used on. Good products. Free bagels
Cons
Those great employees will never be recognized for what they’ve done. Those that go over and beyond are just expected to do more without promotion or pay increase. Those who do bare minimum, are buddy buddy with Sr managers and blow lots of smoke will be promoted in to position that are way over their heads, far from deserving and when they fail or cannot handle the job then excuses will be made as to why they’ll be kept in the position. If a manager or supervisor cannot step in for any of their direct reports and be able to do anything and everything their group is responsible for then they should NOT be in the position, it’s that simple. This shouldn’t be an issue but it is a giant one across the company. A colleague/customer/field support should never hear “well so and so is out today so I don’t know”. Also, they’ll keep useless/problematic employees around as its easier to have a warm body there to tick off customers, create delays/problems and messes for others to clean up then to actually deal with the issues at hand with the employee. Again, goes back to poor management. most don’t want to deal with documenting and actually having to manage properly or waiting the time to interview until the right candidate is found, a warm body is better then No body at Integra. Although it’s been said the Ohio plant is the center of “Excellence” or main US production facility for Integra it really needs a good hard look out there because it’s a dumpster fire on all levels, all positions, all departments. No one takes responsibility or accountability for anything, always trying to push a need/task off to someone else or “will set up a meeting for the issue”. Nothing will come out of said meeting and when you contact that person who was thrown under the bus you find out they’ve been let go or quit. Sr management works harder at covering up a quality/product/process issue then to admit a bad decision was made or the fact they have incompetency in the manager/department below them them they’ll work to resolve the issue and fix the issue correctly. They would rather layoff the good employees to outsource the work to third parties to save a buck
