Middle level managers are often disrespectful, rude, insulting and condescending to the engineers They spend most of their time sucking up to upper management and expect the field engineers to do the same. They also lie to their employees about matters that concern them. 

Territories are vast and often cover several states and the workload is often extreme. 

Tech support from the service center is often non existent and they do not adequately support their field engineers. Engineers in the field consistently receive defective parts and nasty attitudes when seeking assistance and support. In addition they are often unreachable when technical support is vitally needed. 

Overall company does not respect their field engineers and seemingly abuse them at every opportunity. The engineers are  blamed for everything that goes wrong in the company. Upper and middle management and the service center NEVER do anything wrong and its ALWAYS the engineer who is wrong. If defective parts are sent out the service center will blame the engineer saying that he damaged the part while installing it. The upper management does not accept the fact that the service center has issues and take everything at their word. The middle managers ALWAYS sides with the service center and upper management and berates and blames the engineers. These people NEVER accept responsibility for their own actions. 

No one in the company has been promoted in five years or so. No room for advancement within this company.

Many of the most experience engineers in the country have left Healthtronics and went on to successful careers with GE Medical, Storz or other service companies and are much happier for it. Needless to say the company has a high turnover rate.

This company is a great place to work for even with being acquisitioned by Endo Pharmaceuitcals. There are many departs ments that seem to be happy except for the business office. The billing manager is nice, at times, but you have to watch your back because she plays favorites with some of of the employees in the the business office which may bring about a hostile environment.

You cannot go to the director of the department with any type of complaint because appropriate action will not be taken and instead of excercising the power the director has over the department it just falls back on the billing manager of what was said and you get yelled at. There seems to be a lack of trust between director/billing manager and the employees in the business office only. I noticed the other departments do not have the issues that I just explained. If you really want to work for this company do not apply to a job in the central business office because you will regret it in the end.

I was only here for a few weeks to fill in for the regular receptionist.  Excellent staff and facility!  I had excellent training from my immediate supervisors, and was able to grasp the finer points very quickly.  Other departments were of great help as well, since there were a fair amount of calls that I wasn't sure how to forward.  There was more to this job than what I was responsible for, but they kept it under control by taking care of those details themselves (conference room scheduling/incoming & outgoing mail/etc).  I gained some respect while I was there, and was approached by my supervisor that I should find an open position that I might be able to apply for.  I did, but there were other candidates that were more qualified than I for the job.  I would have LOVED to work there.  I still would, hopefully they will keep me in mind.
The pay I received through the temp agency that assigned me here was good, but I'm sure the regular receptionist pay was at least $3/hour more.  Not a problem, I know that's how it works.

I was hired specifically to do one position in this company and in just under 3 years I am still at base salary in a "new hire" position. Many promises made but not followed through. 
The schedule comes out the day before and can change throughout each day so planning or committing to anything in your personal life is impossible without taking PTO. The wage compensation for this kind of personal commitment is egregiously subpar.
The PTO policies are limiting and even repressive towards Field Techs in certain respects (i.e. restricting when PTO can be taken, requiring 45 days notice and not giving the same number of paid holidays as the rest of the company)
Our equipment is outdated and the company vehicles are completely insufficient for the region.

Great benefits, good salary. Self directed to a degree. Physically demanding with multiple treatment sites in a given day requiring loading and unloading heavy equipment. Schedule is not your typical 7-3 shift. Extremely long hours, early morning commutes(4Am) and returning home late in evenings(9pm). Difficulty in preparing for meals since schedules are constantly changing, requiring you to purchase meals while away from home.  No support system from management, lacking an environment to feel as though you can resolve issues that may arise. 
Environment of uncertainty, company has been sold 6 times with constant rumors of them folding.

I enjoyed this position very much and until the company was purchased by Endo Pharma, and subsequently all of the HealthTronics sales force was let go!

I sold prostate biopsy kits and pathology services to Urologists throughout the midwest and was regularly involved in the procedures, assisting the staff in how to use my product.

The job was easy for me and I was an integral part in growing our organization to the point where we were being sought after for purchase.

The only hard part of this job was witnessing the discomfort of a man getting a prostate biopsy on a daily basis!

Shared services management is absolutely horrible and unless you liked to be micro managed to the nth degree you might want to look elsewhere! They tell you how much you are wanted and needed etc.but then try to basically tell you how you can do your job from how to send e-mails to who you should be talking to amongst your co-workers. They cut the number of personnel to the core and then expect you to do twice as much for the same pay and then throw you under the bus when something goes wrong or voice your opinion even though they ask for it?!?!

I love working at HealthTronics because everyone I get to interact with is casual and easy to work with. The managers aren't hoity-toity like some corporate places I've worked at in the past. They laugh easily with you and treat you like an equal. I also like that I can work alone remotely and get my job done without a lot of time-wasting meetings. I know my job, I get it done and when I do it well, they show me appreciation with words and with yearly monetary incentives.

I have nothing bad at all to say about working for this company. I worked with them for 15 years, and the people were amazing from the front office, to the management staff, down to the techs. If you ever have a chance to get on with this company, I would highly recommend doing so!! It is definitely a place you could work at for years and then retire from. They have amazing benefits and competitive pay. I really cannot think of anything I did not like about working there. 

I regret working for this company.  My boss was unstable and controlling.  She never allowed her employees to fully develop in their role.  She controlled all aspects of our jobs and then complained about her workload.  When anyone in the department offered to assist with tasks she declined the assistance.  Much was promised during the interview, but none of that was ever allowed to actually happen.  There was a deep sense of mistrust and resentment towards younger employees.
