Pros

Great customers and peers. They spend a lot of time training employees on new technology. Good benefits.

Cons

Long hours and pay wasn’t competitive with comparable jobs. Field team is clearly not as important as Eden Prairie employees. ZERO transparency through furlough. Poor leadership at every level. My job was posted a few months after my permanent lay off. Slap in the face considering my years with Starkey.
