Pros

An opportunity to break into the Medical Sales Field... THAT IS ALL

Cons

Constant employee turnover. Zero Recognition for being Rep of the Year, Rookie of the Year, closing accounts, etc. Zero room for growth within the company. They do not promote from within. You become the companies slave and they get rid of you when they want. The products are over priced and look like they are from the early 90's. You walk into a hospital and receive zero name recognition. When customers pull up the company website, it looks as if a child designed it. The products are already more expensive than the closest competitor, yet they keep having miscellaneous price increases and no consistency on pricing from account to account. Also, NOT ON ANY GPO's (management does not think that being on GPO's is necessary and does not understand that hospitals rely on GPO's to keep costs down). Products are constantly needing fixed, terrible customer service from corporate. All problems fall back on the employee, Executive Management takes zero responsibility for faulty equipment. Consistently promise new products, that have yet to show up. You receive a company minivan, pay is below average compared to the national average. Terrible benefits, and must take out a personal credit card for expenses and then it takes over a month to be reimbursed for those expenses. Territories are huge, constant overnight travel. Marketing material is out of date, and little to no clinical research/studies to help sell hospitals on products. Executive Management believes that they know what they are doing, yet have zero years of combined Medical Sales Selling Experience and micromanage employees. They have terrible strategies on dealing with customers and lack negotiation skills. Little to no advanced notice for conference calls/meetings. Expect you to drop everything for the company. ZERO WORK LIFE BALANCE. Daily/Weekly Itinerary along with Nightly Notes that are combed through every morning by management and questioned constantly. They do not participate in trade shows or conferences to spread the name of the company or its products.
