Pros

Work life balance is better than average. Many employees work less than 40 hour weeks for full time pay. Nice facilities.

Cons

Company resources are used to tell employees who they should vote for in federal elections (for conservative candidates who oppose healthcare reform). Manufacturing ("Operations") mindset in executive management prevents empathy for customers and patients. Product quality problems go unresolved indefinitely in spite of massive "Quality" organizations. Quality System is an empty facade for many products - it serves only to pass FDA audits and produces very poor return on investment. Everyone is extremely title sensitive and tenure sensitive. New hires are not respected their first two years regardless of experience and competence.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
