Pros

Free lunch Monday-Thursday Free health insurance for employee, if you submit the very nosy wellness form 3 weeks of vacation Vacation for family every 5 years

Cons

Fear and intimidation is used by management and HR all the time. Don't even tell HR about anything about a manager because they will take the manager's side blindly. Also, don't bring any issues to HR because HR will start investigating you and call you into intimidation meetings. It's HR policy and it's destroying morale. Lower salary compared to similar jobs nearby Start as "engineer" even if you have over 10 years of experience and even a master's degree. You have to work at Arthrex for many many years to become a "Senior Engineer" even if you were one at your last job. Don't count on moving up, since there is almost nowhere to move up to at Walnut. Oppressive environment, not open to any ideas to save the company money or improve anything. Politics rule and the wrong people get jobs they aren't qualified for. 2 brothers rule by fear and intimidation at ACI. Corporate doesn't do anything.
