Pros

Able to get things changed quickly, easy to move to different roles. Sister companies offer a ton of opportunity if you are willing to move.

Cons

Very high turnover, maybe due to remote location. This location is a cash cow with little investment in plant and equipment. There seemed to be a preference for ex-military for management promotions.

Pros

Danaher Business Systems (DBS) has value in identifying and tracking key metrics. Excellent comp and benefits

Cons

The purpose of DBS is to set the team up to not achieve their targets while pushing them to achieve as much as possible. Regardless of results you never feel like you are winning due the constant beat down you receive on a monthly basis. This results in very low job satisfaction and high turnover. Need to understand that not everything fits into DBS process. DBS doesn't work the same on the commercial side of the business as it does in operations. There is too much focus placed on internal metrics which will always cause pain to the customer.
