Pros

Chance to witness epic mismanagement and dysfunction in a corporate setting. Bring a stick to roast marshmallows as you watch whatever is left of the company burn…so there’s snacks at least. If you thought you regretted past workplaces, I reckon Lifescan will raise the bar and you’ll have a new number one in the ranks so you know, #winning

Cons

See pros above, then think of the Exxon Valdez, Pompeii, and the ending of Marvel’s End-Game and assume you’ll be one of people who got lost in the blip.

Pros

The only thing that's somewhat tolerable about this company is the paycheck, but even that feels like hush money to keep us quiet about the abysmal state of affairs. Don't be fooled by the salary; it's not worth the emotional toll this place will take on you.

Cons

I've spent enough time at this company to confidently assert that it is nothing short of a sinking ship, captained by individuals who seem to have mistaken their roles for that of a clueless deckhand. Stay as far away from this place as possible if you value your career, sanity, and dignity. It's astounding how this company has managed to survive given the glaring leadership void that plagues it. Communication from leadership is scarce, inconsistent, and baffling when it does happen. I've seen better decision-making in a game of chance. If you're looking for a company that has a clear vision for the future, look elsewhere. This place is like a rudderless ship adrift in a stormy sea. Long-term goals, if they even exist, are hidden in the depths of obscurity. The lack of direction has led to a toxic culture of short-term fixes and knee-jerk reactions. It's as if they're trying to build a sandcastle on a foundation of quicksand. The toxic culture here is the direct result of poor leadership and a lack of vision. Employees are treated like disposable pawns, expected to follow orders blindly, with no room for innovation or creativity. Dissent is not tolerated, and ideas are met with indifference at best and hostility at worst. It's demoralizing to see talented individuals crushed under the weight of incompetence and indifference. Morale is at an all-time low. Burnout is rampant, and the constant uncertainty about the company's future has left everyone on edge. It's not just a sinking ship; it's a sinking ship with a skeleton crew that's too demoralized to even grab a life jacket.
