Pros

I enjoyed their benefit package while I worked there but I understand it changed after I left to the standard high deductible offered most places these days. Free coffee. Job satisfaction: worked with emerging technologies. Manageable workload. I was fine with the pay but others were not.

Cons

No flexibility in schedule. Poor work life balance. Poor management. Zero project management. Dress Code. Low morale. Little room for advancement. Poor training. It seems as though mangagement is picked from the existing employees. They take their best person and make them the manager. Not only does this reduce the quality and output of the work being done, it does not guarantee you are actually placing someone into mangagement who would be a good manager.

Pros

Working at STERIS has been a rewarding experience, especially if you’re someone who isn’t afraid to put in the effort. One of the biggest advantages is that your earning potential is directly tied to the amount of work you put in. If you’re motivated, proactive, and willing to take on responsibility, you can truly earn great money here. The company gives you the opportunity to grow, learn, and take on more whenever you’re ready. It’s a place where hard work is recognized and often rewarded, making it a strong fit for people who enjoy being in control of their own success. If you’re driven and want a job where your hustle actually shows up in your paycheck, STERIS is a solid choice.

Cons

On the downside, the job can be challenging due to frequent product shortages, which makes it difficult to meet customer needs and hit goals especially when there’s little support from corporate to resolve these issues. Another major frustration is that when you take vacation, you're still working, because there’s no real backup to cover your territory. The role also requires a lot of travel, which can be demanding and exhausting over time. Lastly, promotions are few and far between, so career advancement can feel slow despite strong performance. Overall: STERIS can be a great place for someone who wants control over their earnings and doesn’t mind putting in significant effort. However, lack of support, constant travel, and limited growth opportunities may make it challenging for long‑term satisfaction.
