New management is devaluing company.

Pros

Great products. Biologics are cutting edge and gold standard. External fixation is top of the line. Internal fixation is where the company is growing and very promising. Bone stimulators have highest success rates on market.

Cons

Have treated excellent and loyal employees poorly. Will cut pay and increase responsibilities without thinking twice. Have already cut personnel numbers significantly. Going to a distributorship model spread thin, losing quality of customer service and losing valuable motivated direct sales personnel. Ruined the ATM model, where they were compensated decently to be a valuable adjunct sales force and groomed to be more than ready TM's in the future. The way the model is now, they are trying to get a much lower caliber sales reps for less pay.

Pros

Good pay Decent perks Decent peers Free coffee Large break room Easy job

Cons

Ill equipped management, lower level, middle level all the way up Lack of leadership/delegation = blame game and unfair practices (almost weekly) If you're an intelligent human being, you're a threat to those that have ridden the coattails of their predecessors

Pros

Above-average compensation (Which ends up being a double-edged sword as you feel you cannot leave to anywhere else without taking a major paycut) Good benefits Decent amount of PTO Cool perks (free coffee, lunches sometimes brought in)

Cons

The "honeymoon" phase is over in about 6-12 months depending on which dept you work, before that it seems like an awesome place to work, until you figure out what is really going on behind the scenes Absolutely atrocious management in most divisions with the exception of Spinal Implants and the Finance & IT depts. (I will say if you get into one of the depts you'll probably be great) Lack of solid leadership from top-down. (with the exception of a few presidents who from what I've heard are now GONE anyway) Game-playing and politics are a constant poison to the environment, and most of it is instituted by upper management with the lower-level employees taking the brunt of the consequence. And I am talking serious game-playing, including sabotage in the form of gossip amongst middle-management. Trust NO ONE with any piece of information. Favoritism is extremely tangible at this company. Lack of recognition for employees who consistently perform hard. Cannot get promoted unless you play the 'game' and even then you have to be careful because if you are too good you may be seen as a threat, so you won't go anywhere either! All of this sounds very over-dramatized, but I assure you, I am trying to sound as objective as possible as I was not technically 'burned' by anyone. I left on my own accord as I possessed stellar reviews and was repeatedly told there was options for advancement, however I would then get passed over by other individuals without even the opportunity for an interview. (meaning job was not posted at all for anyone to apply)
