Pros

Ok benefits, uniforms , Christmas party and bonuses. Tuition reimbursement. Most of the place is clean. Can't think of much else.

Cons

Shady management, shady coworkers, don't care at all for their employees. Especially long term employees. Too much management and policies. Do not promote from within. Shady coworkers that are bought and paid for by management and will rat you out in a heartbeat. Might even make up stuff.Only butt kissers move up in the company. Also, management are a bunch of hypocrites. An anti the employees. The company acts like they are all high and mighty and you should feel privileged to work there. They want you to have a masters degree to screw on a bolt. The management uses bullying tactics to get rid of long term employees. They preach ethics and diversity but do not practice it themselves. Some of these managers think they are god. And the reason we still need unions in this country are because of companies like Steris.

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.
