It was very exciting at first, then as the years passed; the layoffs began to happen every year.

Manufacturing associate

Business Outlook

Pros

Building a product that has a direct health benefit to the customer. The helpfulness of the other associates and the care of the delicate product through the entire production floor.

Cons

The supervisors lack management skills necessary to be professional toward the associates. They may have a degree, but they lacked the people skills to interact with a professional behavior with subordinates. Also, the high quotas that led to vendor parts shortages. The passing of questionable product by engineers that didn't want a black mark on their reports to upper management. Quantity was pushed rather than quality toward the end of my eight year employment at Medtronic. I was saddened by Medtronics lack of care for quality for a product that was to be implanted into a human being that would depend upon it to continue living.
