Pros

The pay was decent, it was M-F, and holidays off

Cons

Several! If you are a white privileged male, this is the perfect job for you. You will find that Stryker looks for VERY particular people. White, (usually male) athletes. No one actually wants to work and no one knows what’s going on, ever. Along with this, the schedule was terrible. One week you worked 7a-3:30p, another week you would work 3:30p-11p and every shift in between in rotation. Plus on-call weeks which would be over nights and weekends. They try to tell you moving up is easy, just give it a year. But it’s actually impossible. Unless, of course, you’re a white male. I have NEVER seen someone of color working here.

Pros

cannot think of any right now

Cons

Stryker came to our facility and made speeches about their culture and so on. They promised to keep everything the same and as soon as the merger was complete they fired people. People that had been here and had proven their value. The excuse was that the job title did not fit into their organizational structure. What a bunch of crap. They staged the process so it was dragged out with new org announcements coming every few weeks and each time people lost their jobs or were demoted. So far they have taken a company that was number one in the total shoulder business and completley disrespected the people that built Wright UE to a world class company,
