Pros

Been around for 100 years; relatively stable through 2020. Great opportunity for OTJ training in medical device manufacturing. Cool to see and try out different processes. Occasional holiday lunches. Sometimes end of year bonus. Possibly annual raises company-wide; had a couple 3 percent raises.

Cons

Entry level pay is, well, entry level; not enough for a family anyway. Production areas are sweaty hot in summer and cool in winter. Maintenance is a joke at SLC facility. Wait until stuff breaks then fix it or replace it. Seems like there's usually a leak or light out in the restrooms that takes weeks to get fixed. Advancement within production is very limited.

Pros

Mission-oriented culture, Excellent leadership in North America and many quality employees that continue to strive for better and better. Modernization efforts are recognized and prioritized with many initiatives underway. If you perform well, recognition and career mobility follows.

Cons

Hard to drive change at times with certain team members. Clean data and systems can be an issue that requires manual efforts, but change is underway. IT processes can be hard to understand and time-consuming.
