      Pros

      Middle management is typically responsible and reasonable.

      Cons

      BD has hired a slug of cutthroat Fiat Chrysler "continuous improvement" operations executives to slash expenses at all costs due to poor decision making during COVID. Bonus are being cut, there have been repeated layoffs, and the company 401k match just got cut to 3%. I would hate to be a customer under contract, because you will be receiving the Chrysler of medical devices. Everyone below the VP level is scared that they will lose their job at a moment's notice. It's a dumpster fire on wheels. Not to mention the stock price has been moving sideways for four years now.

      Terrible company to work for

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pays well- requiring very little to no experience and education for most positions and opportunities for overtime.

      Cons

      They don’t really treat you like a person. They are only focused on production numbers. They take some shortcuts when it comes to safety. You work a 12 hour shift and you can’t have water at your desk- and you can really only use the bathroom, hydrate or eat during your break. Breaks are not long- 15/30 however it takes about 5-7 minutes to walk across the manufacturing floor to leave the work area, take off your PPE. So that 15/30 Minute break runs really tight… very strict attendance expectations! The plant I worked at reprimanded for employees not arriving to shift on time during the middle of an active tornado alert. If you want to use vacation time (PTO), you have to find someone to cover your shift. If nobody wants to cover, and usually they don’t, you don’t get your pto approved.
