Pros

If you make it out of the entry-level positions you might find a happier workplace within the company, but even in headquarters the "grind" they thrive on is a death driver

Cons

If you didn't play a D1 sport, it's hard to get promoted They operate on a "prove your worth" to get paid accordingly mindset but never pay up or go by the letter of offers discussed or written The company prefers men with external experience over men or women with internal experience They will work you until you're dead or quit Constant turnover within the divisions Completely toxic management and culture They expect you to be a "yes" person but will only remember the time you said "no" regardless of how many sacrifices you've made to say yes in the past This company does not actually care about their employees if they don't contribute to the bottom line or sell something

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.
