Pros

Pay is comparable to other companies, decent benefits, free coffee, clean work environment.

Cons

Management with zero people skills, looking to micromanage and be on a power trip and not listening to their employees. Management will ask for the opinion of their employees, but will not take any of what they said into account and then make changes that negatively impact the department regardless of the opinions of the people that the changes will actually affect. Sometimes just because someone has management experience, it does not mean they will be a good fit for a department and STERIS often does not promote the correct people to internal positions. They are more likely to hire external candidates just because someone has more experience on paper than to promote an excellent internal employee with the leadership mentality. There are more incompetent people than competent and the people who are good at their job are not given any incentive to keep working hard. The HR department is also very unhelpful and make it clear that they do not care at all about the employees' concerns. Also, no opportunity to work from home.

Pros

Working at STERIS has been a rewarding experience, especially if you’re someone who isn’t afraid to put in the effort. One of the biggest advantages is that your earning potential is directly tied to the amount of work you put in. If you’re motivated, proactive, and willing to take on responsibility, you can truly earn great money here. The company gives you the opportunity to grow, learn, and take on more whenever you’re ready. It’s a place where hard work is recognized and often rewarded, making it a strong fit for people who enjoy being in control of their own success. If you’re driven and want a job where your hustle actually shows up in your paycheck, STERIS is a solid choice.

Cons

On the downside, the job can be challenging due to frequent product shortages, which makes it difficult to meet customer needs and hit goals especially when there’s little support from corporate to resolve these issues. Another major frustration is that when you take vacation, you're still working, because there’s no real backup to cover your territory. The role also requires a lot of travel, which can be demanding and exhausting over time. Lastly, promotions are few and far between, so career advancement can feel slow despite strong performance. Overall: STERIS can be a great place for someone who wants control over their earnings and doesn’t mind putting in significant effort. However, lack of support, constant travel, and limited growth opportunities may make it challenging for long‑term satisfaction.
