Cordis reviews about "upper management"

This is a very depressing work environment. Please read this review and several others that have commented on the fact that there are 3-5 people leaving per week due to the toxic environment. Because everyone is depressed and unmotivated, this place will also leave you feeling depressed when you leave work. The review with 5 stars is upper management desperate to make this place look good in order to get new hires. There is absolute no direction on what you are supposed to be doing and no support by management whatsoever. You will never move up and even when they promise you that you will be moving up, they come up empty handed with more lies. The President of Cordis does not interact with anyone below him (except the VP of Communications). Several VPs have even left the company which says a lot. But since sales are low due to zero innovation and zero spend on R&D plus several recalls on products, they are okay with all the open headcount because they need it to survive. Ever wonder why J&J decided to sell Cordis? Because they were losing money with the ridiculous manufacturing processes. There is no team work as manufacturing does not communicate with Sales and vise versa. Cordis is constantly over producing then scrapping. There is no team work at the top so there is none at the bottom. This is a dying company. Cardinal Health can continue to buy more companies to cover up their mistakes.

-Lower pay than the market,no benefits/bonuses (except managers or above), overtime until 6-7pm , no life after work , no employee appreciation or lunch outs even if you save over 100k in savings (pure modern-day slavery) - Plant runs 24/7 like chickens with heads cut off - Company cuts corners by not providing essential tools and software licenses to employees and except to work (never heard off in any medical industry) - Zero innovations, R&D sleeps over investors' money -Employee turnover- 20+ engineering FTE employees leave in a year and a fresh set of noobs start over again -Zero focus on employee growth/upscaling and will obstruct you from applying for any internal positions too, leaving with only option to either survive or leave - They don't pay their supplier on time and expect raw materials to be delivered on time (no wonder)

Starting at the macro level, Cordis has a poor reputation with hospitals and providers from not keeping up with medical device innovation. When Cordis tried to be innovative, product launches failed and were retracted multiple times, ruining trust and relationships with customers. This gets no empathy from upper management, who continue to push the same products time and time again. The private equity firm that acquired Cordis completely ruined the culture of the company, trying to squeeze the most out of its employees (especially if you are not a territory manager) with little to no incentive or guidance. The private equity company also created a culture of fear with threats that the worst performers would be let go. If you don't do exactly as management says or disagree, watch out. There is no culture of collaboration, respect, or creativity. The culture was a dictatorship and people bullies. Management expects clinicals or associates to do the same job as sales people or sales persons' jobs without clarity, while providing no guidance or availability themselves. They expect you to burn the candle at both ends, travel 5 days a week (with 3 overnights a week). Do not expect any upward movement in this company, unless you get an MBA or become an interim TM with no additional pay or complaints. All in all, this was the worst company, job, and people I have ever had the displeasure of working with in my ten years in the workforce.
