Pros

The pay and benefits are decent. The annual 401K contribution that the company drops into your account in one large chunk is a major plus.

Cons

The West Valley City, UT and Mahwah, NJ branches contain the most disorganized processes I have ever seen in my 20+ year career. There is constant scrambling and pressure to produce unnecessary reports, endless mind-numbing meetings which accomplish absolutely nothing other than stroking exec managements rampant egos, and it is such a toxic environment that they have recently lost many long-time employees. This company preaches Gallup but the negativity, thanklessness, and complete lack of appreciation for even large successes at the local level is staggering. No amount of pay is worth enduring the passive-aggressive leadership, abundant negativity, and completely demoralizing environment.

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
