Pros
Amazing associates who honestly try every day to improve Quality Assurance Hardware & Software related to Radiation Oncology. The new Manufacturing/Production Facility is fantastic.
Cons
Twenty layoffs (really firings since these people will not be asked back if things get better) in February 2015 because the company grew too fast and now the operating expenses are exceeding sales. The individual departments never had budgets and now there is the realization that after spend spend spending there need to be cuts. To meet budget cuts, projects will be abandoned which will lead to more layoffs. Currently there is a fundamental distrust of anyone in management (middle all the way to sr.) and the feeling that the associates are being lied to regarding future firings and the health of the company. In an attempt to stop the freefall of morale the CEO & HR Mgr have scheduled 25 person employee roundtables where they will try to collect info & understand why things have gotten so bad. I highly doubt that people will truly share how they feel when there is zero anonymity and the high likelihood of whatever criticism getting back to the associates individual dept mgt. This leads to people filtering their opinions, not speaking out, and the time spent will be wasted for all parties involved.
