Carestream Health Employee Reviews about "good people"

Pros

Good people and technology are the key strengths

Cons

The forced ranking system was implemented several years ago in an attempt to drive people to work even harder. The HR people stated their goal was to get everyone to try and scratch and claw their way to the top. Needless to say the result has been just that....teamwork out the door, morale in the tank, and everyone trying to cover their butts.

Pros

401k match prior to reducing the match. Some good people.

Cons

Continual layoffs. Senior management not being candid with employees.

Pros

* yearly raise/bonus *no customers to interact with *sometimes free food. *job is semi simple *some good people

Cons

* high injury rate *shamed in to not reporting work related injuries *poor management all around *constantly overworked *long shifts on concrete floors with repetitive movements. *sacrifice your body and free time for just enough to pay bills and have a roof over your head. *politics are often talked about in the work place * lots of white men, very few people of color. Some women at least. *open door policy and no retaliation mean nothing to them *workers comp is bs and they will deny you for any reason they can find *lay offs were of almost only folks on light duty/workers comp. *chemicals around plant and silver dust in the air likely giving employees cancer.

Pros

Products are rated high in the health industry. A lot of good people work there.

Cons

Rankings are forced but if your in the good old boys/girls club you have nothing to worry about. A lot of finger pointing. Supervisors micro manage everything. Pay raises are minimal

Pros

Some very good people here who actually want to do the right thing and build excellent products. These are people to learn from and haven't been already jaded by mid/upper management.

Cons

Hyper and inflexible schedule driven. Less concern for the true cost of quality, design for longevity, or employee satisfaction. More concerned with management bonuses. Focus is to rush to market then fix all the issues as a direct result and then punish everyone for having to make these fixes.

Pros

A lot of variety. A lot of good people to work with. Doing fun and interesting things. Good place to work.

Cons

Forced ranking. Although I have never gotten a poor rating, a lot of people here have. Some may deserve it, but others didn't. Some people that get bad ratings are good employees, but because management must follow a curve, someones needs to get a bad rating simply because someone needs to get it.

Pros

- lots of really good and especially hardworking people

Cons

- total lack of trust in normal employees - extremely bureaucratic and slow in making decisions - senior management uses intimidation and other primitive techniques to get their way - several really good executives left over the last 12 months which leaves us with the really bad ones

Pros

Good people help get work done

Cons

Management is sometimes very old fashioned... and not the good parts of old fashioned.

Pros

Good people that do the work

Cons

Secretive management that appears to be having problems getting the business refocused

Pros

Medical device industry is still a happening place. Interesting products are being developed, which has a real impact on the society.

Cons

A lot has been said by other reviewer. There is no respect for people. Politics are practiced at all levels in order to survive. Good people are driven out and politicians stay.
