Dead-end and unfulfilling
Pros
-It's extremely simple (to the point of mind numbing). -You can complete work independently and are held accountable for your individual contributions. -For university students who don't need a job that they look to grow or build skills in.
Cons
-Not paid nearly enough. -Encourages a toxic culture that includes backstabbing and gossip. -Zero work/life balance. You are expected to work over 40 hours a week (for little pay) and are ostracized if you don't give up your own family for your "Stryker family". -The company is essentially a "boys club" in which there is next to ZERO movement of positions. -Incessant emails of the executives great successes and record sales that offer only the top rung huge bonuses that "essential employees" have no stake in. -Nepotism leads to a lack of diversity within positions of value. Just check the org chart of the company; it entirely consists of old white men. Women are delegated to "assistant" positions at the company and black employees are non-existent. -Management gaslighting entry level employees for not giving up everything to the company. -Most employees have no say in any changes within the company. -The company is obsessed with itself-- Constant praise of how "great" they are and how "lucky" employees are to work for them. They advertise around every building that they manage to crack the "top companies to work for" list. Healthcare is a lucrative business so unfortunately it looks as if this company will never change but as other huge corporations adapt Stryker feels as though it's stuck in the past.
