Biotronic Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at Biotronic

Pros – Good place to make a good salary based on your own efforts in a fairly fast track.
Lots of good experience and relationships with hospital personnel formed.
High turnover, so usually room to move to management, especially if you are willing to relocate.
Very good education and training program.
Good benefits.
Good reputation with most clients (because they will do anything at the expense of their employees) and because most of the bottom tier employees are excellent workers and great people and that's who the clients interact with.

Cons – Terrible company to work for if you have a family. They will not compromise or change your work schedule to help you fulfill your duties at home.
Many long days with no breaks for bathroom or food (nearly impossible for nursing mothers).
Administration is unprofessional and gossips (who is getting fired, who had an issue at so-and-so hospital, who has personal issues at home,etc) to all tiers of employees about other employees.
They only care about the bottom-line and have no regard for employee satisfaction. They would rather force someone to drive 4hrs in the middle of the night than to turn away extreme requests from clients.
They provide no support or training for managers. They provide no encouragement or feedback for managers. Managers rarely know where they stand or how good/bad of a job they're doing. Admin frequently undermines management's authority by dealing directly with a lower level employee complaint without asking for management's side of the story or the reason behind the decision that drew the complaint.
Biotronic understaffs or staffs just enough so that employees are almost always stretched too thin and overworked. Biotronic promotes people without removing some of their lower job responsibilities so that top tier employees are doing all the same jobs as low tier employees along with all of their other responsibilities. They will load them with as many responsibilities as possible so they don't have to replace them when they promote them. Essentially, they are cheap.
They are untrustworthy - you can never be sure that they will follow through with what they say they will do.
The non-compete is over-reaching and quite frankly, ridiculous.
Admin has no problem telling you that they know the economy is bad and you are replaceable, so if you don't want to complete said ridiculous assignment, they are sure someone else would be happy to take your place. They take advantage of people because of the poor economy.
Some of their veteran top-tier employees are just not good people.

Advice to Senior Management – Care more about your employees. Companies who are not kind to their employees and are not supportive of families will never be successful for long. Word will get around about how you treat people. Surgeons and hospital staff will find out that the people they care about are treated like dirt and they will be happy to choose the many other companies out there that are now competing heavily with you.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
