Business Outlook

Pros

Base salary compensation is adequate.

Cons

Slow moving. Poorly communicated strategy. Support resources (IT, Benefits, etc) are all very difficult to work with. Heavily bureaucratic and lots of politics. Constant changes to commission structure, territory, and management directives. Product support overwhelmed. Terrible CRM. Virtually no support in learning how to 'navigate the company'. Customers are growing more disenchanted and BD is starting to lose foothold as market leader (cytometry).
