Pros

Flexible work hours, work from home, excellent healthcare.

Cons

You have good employees and great products but you do not care about your employees whatsoever and it shows. You treat them as though their lives and the sacrifices they make mean nothing. This is exhibited by the poor pay, excessive work hours due to waves of layoffs at multiple levels(Field Engineers, Managers, etc..), terrible management at every level, lack of advancement opportunities and the lack of any incentives to do anything but the minimum amount of work required. The complete lack of proper training this company provides is ridiculous. I was expected to work on 5 different kinds of MRI machines, CT, PET, and Ultrasound all with 3 weeks of training. Add to that a hostile work environment that starts with the VP of Field Service and is translated all the way down to the district managers. This couldn't be a more unfriendly and stressful place to work.

Pros

If your all about working and no family time hardly except for when your home "wore out" then this is the place. The work is medium range labor so its not all bad except being EXTREMELY repetitive. Yah you make around 80k a year but thats at the cost of most of your life because you only make 14 an hour after a few years. Do the math.

Cons

No days off with 90% of the lines. 11-13 hour shifts.

Pros

Excellent benefits, good people to work with, leading edge company with strong product line and a clear long term plan. A very stable company

Cons

Not a place to work if you want rapid advancement, management is focused on work and life outside of work must be de-prioritized to some degree. Must be willing to work with a strong foreign national presence and direction.
