Advice to Senior Management

streamline processes and give middle managers more authority to create, implement and lead their teams.

The people are professional, friendly and good at what they do.

Great location - right near Google, public transportation, free street parking, adjacent to walking/cycling trails.

Good junior level oppportunities to get into company, develop additional skills and grow.

Cons

Benefits are not as competitive as they were, and in relation to others in the industry.

Too political in terms of work relationships.

Advice to Senior Management

Enhance the benefit package to meet competitor's levels.

Pros

wonderful people to work with at levels below management. people work their hearts out and receive very few rewards for their efforts.

Cons

benefits are meager. told we must take all of vacation time accrued within specified time period. this benefit is not a benefit if there is no flexibility as to when it can be used.

Advice to Senior Management

don't say one thing and do another. told that mandatory use of vacation would prevent future layoffs but the layoffs have never stopped

Pros

Middle management was extremely supportive but not given the latitude to make decisions.

Cons

Upper management stiffled creativity and had a sell at all cost mentality.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire the right people and empower them to make decisions. The reason why the Soviet Union fell apart was due to centralized leadership.

Pros

I believe the people that work here are extremely talented. They believe in the product and that really shows. The company is managed well from a financial perspective. We have really good benefits. We believe in customer service and that is not just lip-service.

Cons

There seems to be a shift to more of a political environment and I think that is due to the management style of a few people at the higher level. Too much finger pointing right now.

The sales group think they are above everyone else but I guess you could say it is like that in most sales focused companies.

Advice to Senior Management

1. Hold people accountable no matter what their title.
2. When someone is complaining, tell them to stop complaining and offer solutions. No more finger pointing.
3. If you want to know what is really going on, talk to the people that are close to the action.

Pros

Work environment - friendly, accessible to people and information, dedication to get results. Team-environment is very strong. Definitely great for people who like to roll up their sleeves and get things done. Pace is fast.

Cons

Lack of processes and resources (run lean). Things are improving, but not enough focus and resources to keep up with the pace and demands of the leadership.

Advice to Senior Management

Longer-term vision needed and less change.

Pros

Great customer base. Omnicell used to have a great staff and good middle management, unfortuntely most if not all those people have moved on either by their own choice and were forced out.

Cons

Extremely poor operations management. Dyfuntional management from company headquarters, company seems to lack any long term vision about it's staff. VP operations lived by this phrase regarding the operations staff. "Hire fast, fire faster." Not a good way to attract people of quality and it shows. I doubt upper management know or cares about how company is run, all they seemed to care about was what The Street thought of the company. Internally employee base ridicules customer base. They do not take customers suggestion seriously and out right ingore operations/install staff.

Sad because years ago when I joined Omnicell it was a great place to work and the best work expereince I had. It ended as one of the worst. I would not go back to work there without a large salary increase and a change in operations management and additude.

Advice to Senior Management

It's time to make some whole changes in upper management in the operations division. Spend some time doing some research into field operations and make wholesale changes where needed. That dividion is THE face of your company and right now it's the face of discontent. No one I worked with was happy with the way things were going.
