Lots of contradictions in the title but they generally hold true. The company has grown a lot recently and is experiencing both the benefits of new positions and more people, with the challenges of trying to innovate while being the busiest they have ever been. Management roles seem challenging, and there are a lot of variable positions that fall under the category "distribution coordinator" (which I am). 
The company maintains a degree of start-up energy while still growing into their more corporate identity. Things like Rat-a-tat blasted over the loudspeakers while we fulfill orders before Fed-ex comes at 7:30 to pick it all up is fun. At the same time the day-to-day can get monotonous doing generally the same task as warehouse work tends to be. 
There are a lot of fun people that make this job more enjoyable, and it is generally a younger group working in the warehouse. There is a divide between the upper management and warehouse that has been growing, but that seems inevitable as more people join the team of development, engineering, HR, etc. 

Paragon28 is an example of a company where the mileage varies depending on what department you are in. The department which I worked in (quality) ended up not being what I expected unfortunately. The interview process made this position seem like it had significant growth potential; however, after a few months and shift in leadership, this was not the case. My current job tasks do not match my actual job description, and opportunities for learning have been ignored by leadership after numerous attempts. 

The attendance policy is also a problem. Even with having PTO, you get penalized via attendance points for taking sick days, even during COVID. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the people were outstanding.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Hours and unattainable KPI's.  Worked long hours to achieve monthly goals that were not attainable

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Heavy work load, without any direction and gratitude for going above and beyond.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long hours & a feeling of walking on eggshells.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay is decent. The company pays slightly higher salary than others.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Extremely long hours. This is more of a 10-12 hour job with tight deadlines, no time to take breaks. The company does not value their employees. Management only cares about cash flow.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful
Long hours (not worth the salary)
Low morale
Everyone's trying to quit but stuck because of current job market
Management has no idea what their doing

Super interesting job. Being in the operating room and witnessing medical procedures is really cool, but not for everyone. Long sales cycles are natural because of how cold-calling heavy the role is. Management was up front about how difficult the job can be; and some (not all) success is left up to, Lady Luck. Company provides ample training and CE. 

With my background being in, "in-home" sales, this industry simply didn't inspire me as much, nor lend itself to strongest parts of my salesmanship.

Not a bad job, and has clear potential.

Very professional and welcoming with a friendly environment.
I learned a lot from other peers and departments. 
Working together makes success.
The employees were very respectful towards each other.
The hardest part was leaving the company when I had to because it really was a great company.  The employees made it amazing.

I miss this company dearly. It had the absolute best work-life balance. Everyone works well together. The environment is the definition of business casual. The people you will work with are very professional but friendly enough to bond with. A great company that is very focused on success. The owners are absolutely positive and motivating during meetings, it's a real treasure to be a part of. If you can land a job here. Congratulations, and enjoy.

I traveled the country with a bunch of hard workers and funny personalities. The work was long and tiring but it was always worth it. Best job I’ve ever had in Colorado. The ONLY reason I left was because a head-hunter found me and I went into an industry that I love. However, I do miss the medical device industry all the time!

The worst job I’ve ever had. If you’re alright with zero help, zero team, zero structure or resources then this is a job for you. It’s honestly a joke to work for this company. There is opportunity to make a lot of money if you’re willing to die working 14 hours a day. 

I think it’s very dependent on what department you work in. My experience was not positive and I couldn’t wait to leave. The pay for hours that you put in is not worth it and definitely not a place I’d want to advance my career in. 

You don’t get the training or tools to be successful. Expect to work nights and weekends.
