Pros

Many opportunities for career advancement for entry level employees. Management possesses good leadership abilities in helping employees manage their careers. Good opportunities to switch between different business units and functional roles. Fast paced environment where you learn a lot, which is good for young employees. Lots of opportunities to take valuable training, such as lean manufacturing or supply chain certifications. Early career employees who are driven can move up the ladder quickly and can easily have a "Team Lead" role within a few years.

Cons

Very low compensation, poor work life balance (expect 12 hour days as the norm). It's in Kalamazoo, MI, so job opportunities for spouses are limited, not to mention the social scene isn't great.

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
