Pros

The benefits and salary are the best part of the package.

Cons

The managers can make or break your job. If they don't like you it doesn't matter how good your are and how well your territory is doing, you are still going to be treated like dirt.

Great products, but national sales strategy falls short.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, great products, good training, good first level managers on average. good 401K benefits, nationally recognized products, good service to medical community.

Cons

Poor middle management on average, current sales strategy that is unwelcomed by medical professionals, poor HR follow up and communication. This organization talks like it has the best for its employees in mind, but that is only really seen on a high level basis, not regionally or locally. It is very common for DSMs to have 70-80hr work weeks 60-80% of the time and it is supported by management.
