Pros

Socially valuable products, good emphasis on ergonomics, associates at the individual contributor level are excellent and supportive.

Cons

Top management is completely distracted by too many acquisitions. This has distorted the resources in the company and resulted in unjustifiable reductions in the workforce (for example, employees who leave cannot be replaced). Any semblance of work/life balance is gone. Corporate is interfering with the business units and middle management is hamstrung by too many conflicting demands from the top. Managers are bullied by HR and cannot respond to department needs with flexibility. For example, I retired early because I was denied part-time to meet elder care responsibilities, even though company emails touted flexible work benefits. Too much outsourcing is still happening. Health care benefits continue to deteriorate.

Pros

There really aren't any. Incredibly toxic culture all the way down. BD used to be a great and supportive place to work but that is no more.

Cons

Very toxic culture. Management all the way down is either abusive or or flat out incompetent. We are told to essentially ignore our own code of conduct policies and ethics to the point where all qualified and competent performers have been run off by tyrant middle managers who can essentially do whatever they want or being saddled with the work of 3 people. You will not be valued here. The morale is at bottom and everyone is looking to leave the sinking ship.
