Pros

Get to work with Engineers Paid for certification after completing it Paid for safety shoes & glasses Super safe

Cons

The Steris bought Cantel, our 401k from Fidelity is stuck there while we start a brand new one at Vanguard. Raises are nonexistent...less than 3% No matter how much experience or product knowledge or what you have done for the company, you will never be valued as a good employee who deserves to be promoted without a degree. They take care of stakeholders and shareholders first, customers, themselves, then employees...maybe their employees. There are zero growth strategies in the QA department.

Pros

Room to grow within company

Cons

The onboarding and hiring process is absolutely insane. Here is what they ask for: high school diplomas, show up to 7 years of w2s and/or IRS tax transcripts (who wants to show this to an hr person they have never met in person????), drug test, and multiple physical exams--- all for a job that pays below market rate. This is absurd. Your hiring process is absurd and more thorough than most government jobs. Insane.
