Pros

High caliber people working in an industry that impacts people's lives. Great benefits and good pay. Minneapolis staff are some of the best people I have ever worked with.

Cons

Boys club, Ridiculous amounts of red tape to get the job done. Too heavy on managers and not enough people to get the job done. In this industry your job IS your life, leading to stress and burnout.

Pros

While you are working here everyday with the company, you know that at the same time you help others improve their lives.

Cons

Here we are a US centric company and those HQs are not having proper structure to support other regions in developing business.

I love the patient-focused mission, but the politics and complexities of the matrix org sucks the life energy from me.

Pros

You can move from one org to another to grow your career. Good pay and benefits. The patient-focused mission is a wonderful thing, even for those who are not in patient-facing roles. The annual holiday party features 6 or 8 patients and their stories. Amazing stuff. Never a dry eye in the house.

Cons

Management talks of focusing on only two or three objectives, but the list below each objective is often unobtainable. Very short-sighted thinking with respect to recruitment. There is always talk of hiring top talent, but when faced with down quarters dysfunctional limitations around relocation are imposed. CRDM, the biggest business unit, hasn't made plan for five years. Layoffs every time as a consequence.
