Difficult people to work for. Employees are not a resource to be developed but a commodity to be consumed and discarded. Not a lot of seasoned employees - lots of university interns and recent graduates with minimal experience but a willingness to work long hours. Edwards sought me out and I was hoping for a long term career. I figured out within the first couple of months that this would not be the case. Friends, family and past colleagues that contact me about working for Edwards - I suggest that they look elsewhere for employment. Management believes that true motivation comes from having your job threatened. An extremely toxic work environment. 10 - 11 hrs a day is the expectation.
