Layoffs ahead--again!

Pros

Company is interested in community-based work, encourages employees to volunteer. Good pay unless you're in customer service. Benefits are good.

Cons

Here we go again--another round of layoffs and cronies running around trying to figure out how to protect themselves and their favorite followers. Another round of subjective "fair process" (there is no process) on who gets let go this time. Employees are forced to spend time again worrying, and protecting their turf-- instead of adding value to their jobs. This (now) annual process is not a result of true leadership--it is just picking low-hanging fruit (heads) to make the numbers look good for a time. How about some true leadership and totally reorganizing this fat, top heavy, bloated, inefficient mammoth of an organization? Seriously, stockholders, ask how in the world this organization is going to be able to sustain itself in the long term? What is the span of control for leadership---how many (all levels) VP's, Directors, Program Directors are in the organization? I'm surprised the company doesn't implode on itself with all the weight at the top!

Excellent reputation in the Medical Device Community. Great Mission, excellent community involvement

Cons

Advancement opportunities are limited. Company goes through annual reductions in force making it hard to believe anything is stable.
