Pros

USED to be a great place to work

Cons

Senior management in the Service department strongly lacks people skills, the company is cheap and don't invest in their employees. Senior management has pushed tenured (10 year plus employees) to get fired or quit do to miserable working conditions, including micromanagement and give direction with lack of understanding their employees roles. In addition they try to save money by having employees handle workloads of multiple people. Started selling maintenance contracts, then was forced to negotiate legal terms and conditions- taking away from the time you have to make sales. Commissions were often calculated incorrectly, making employees spend a lot of time researching to make sure they get paid what they are owed.

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.
