Pros

A very little paycheck each week. Work experience, clocking out, lunch time, some coworkers, and that is about it.

Cons

If you start off as a temp. Be very prepared for low wages and no benefits for a very long time. Depending on what the "official headcount" is for your department. You can be a temp from 8 months to 5 years. That means no pay raises, paid vacation, no insurance, or any other benefits. Stryker does not value their temp employees nor their regular employees all that well. They only think that people with higher education are only ones with a brain. 90% of upper and mid management are very arrogant. They value a 4 to 6 year degree more with no experience than those with many years of work experience. They have a high turnover rate due to lower management pointing fingers. This is causing the many quality issues they are having. Another reason they have a high turnover rate is the low pay among the temp employees. It is a shame that a janitorial job with a different company pays $2.00 more than the 1st shift workers get at SSS in Lakeland, FL. There is also a lot of favoritism that goes around. Do yourself a favor. If you see Kelly Services with job postings for a medical company. Just ignore it unless you truly need a job at the time, until you find something better.

Pros

Stryker is a medical device manufacturer whose products improve the lives of many. They have achieved rapid growth through acquisition. The pay and benefits are generous and Stryker frequently makes the list of 100 Best Places to work both locally and at a larger scale.

Cons

As with many large corporations, sometimes the HR paperwork is a bit much. Many of the managers have a full workload in addition to managing direct reports. It tends to be difficult to achieve work/life balance in an organization that crosses so many time zones.
