Great perks will not make up for the litany of weaknesses in this company!

Pros

Pay, benefits, and time off top the list.

Cons

Poor leadership and management (although there are small pockets of good managers), little accountability (unless in sales or service roles tied to KPI's), numbers focused, and decisions are made in a vacuum without clear understanding of the impact on the business. Management turnover is high and the focus is always on the numbers not the people. The general mentality with management turnover seems to be if we can't sell it then it must be the people without a real focus on the true issues, i.e. products, quality, or service. News flash, if you don't fix the product, quality, or service (this includes internal processes) you'll never change the sales. The company breeds mediocrity and its even rewarded in many cases. If you're a remote employee (not tied to sales or service KPI's) with a weak manager you are likely spending more time walking your dog, taking care of your pool, or mowing your lawn than actually working. The culture is toxic and is only in the forefront when its survey time or when corporate is forcing activities so that boxes are checked and bonuses earned. Values are communicated but not practiced i.e. do as I say not as I do, etc.

Pros

Company was great before the went public on the Swedish exchange. After that Getinge pretty much became run by the bean counters. Trying to maximize profit at the expense of product quality & at employees expense. It was truly unfortunate to see. I thought that Getinge would be the company I would retire from, but unfortunately between the bean counters & corporate politics it was not. I worked for 21 years with Getinge.

Cons

Corporate politics / mismanagement (not understand what the customer wants & actual needs). . Sales driven policies (short term thinking not long term goals), corporate greed!

They Take Back Commissions

Pros

It's better than being unemployed. Most reps here are very talented. Some good products.

Cons

VERY low base pay and no raises. Management changes your commission plan and deducts from you if your making too much. You will wait for months for commission payments to come through. Some of us had to wait for FOUR MONTHS without a draw. Disorganized!! You will literally have to do EVERYTHING yourself to keep your customers happy. CAFE PHARMA GETINGE -search for yourself
