Former Employee – worked at Invacare

Pros – Pros: Stable company, market leader, good product, competitive pricing, good people who you can learn from and be inspired by, opportunity for advancement, tuition reimbursement, major medical, 401K, sense of "helping" people due to the nature of the products.

Cons – Cons: Old boy network, but HR is actively trying to change that, if you're strong, smart and network right, you can break through, favoritism, heavy politics, a lot of peer pressure to drink and party with the executives, can be a "peyton place", Medicare drives a lot of the business - can be good or bad depending on your perspective

Advice to Senior Management – Address the issues that are brought to your attention, the intent is to make the company better for everyone involved.

Former Employee – worked at Invacare

Pros – Flexible hours
Good work / life balance
Decent benefits
Acceptable salary / wages
Friendly co-workers
Comfortable work environment
Overall I view it as a positive experience.

Cons – Favoritism
Lack of opportunity for advancement
Fear that management is going to outsource your job (if they can, they will)

Advice to Senior Management – If there were more opportunity for advancement, I may have hung around for a while longer. This was my biggest reason for leaving: it was a dead end.

Former Employee – worked at Invacare full-time for more than a year

Pros – Lots of projects underway
Opportunity to gain restructure experience
Growing industry sector - health care has a strong future especially under a democrat government in the US

Cons – Bullying senior management style - management meetings were an exercise in humiliation and bullying. Lack of constructive feedback, just unhelpful statements that our area needed to do better. We had significant staff turnover at senior level as a result, which was disruptive for the resot of the organisation
Poor IT and other systems

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
