Pros

Competitively priced quality products with a generally good reputation clinically. High standard of product training for new recruits with a high level of accountability required for employees to maintain their product knowledge. A growing commitment to education and clinical support for customers.

Cons

This place is an absolute shambles and it's such a pity because they have so much potential with their portfolio. They have some wonderful people working there (particularly in education) whom they continually fail to recognise, and the wrong people seem to somehow continue to survive. Management lack the skills and experience required and are literally just self serving slave drivers only interested in their own agenda. Absolutely no care or encouragement for their staff, no development, no recognition, no professionalism, zero work/life balance, stifling micromanagement, petty political behaviours, awful staff morale, no tenure/retention and this is purely due to the terrible management that renders your role intolerable. Incredibly tight, won't renumerate top performers accordingly. Excuses, excuses. Don't even want to cover basic/standard work expenses, expect the employee to pay out of their own pocket. Consistently lowball their employees. Critical and never constructive with their feedback, overbearing negativity. They don't encourage employees to have a voice, and will oppress those who do. Management will blame everyone else over taking some accountability for their own shortcomings and would rather point the finger than look within.

Pros

One can learn a lot about (their) medical appliances

Cons

Where to begin? Unorganized, incompetent and to my view internationally totally inexperienced hierarchical & in-house breed management that watches nothing else but their own and each others backs. Unable to take feedback, yet turning head on against you (personally!) instead of the much advertised open ear and open door policy. Their decision making is driven by reactive "thinking" and planning instead of following the vision that they force you to learn word by word. If you want to be a puppet that is restraint in old school call center labor rules, take whatever they define is your job tasks despite being told different a day before plus happy to be forced to eat whatever leftovers are available in their o-so-wonderful canteen once you get to take lunch at 2pm, this is still NOT the place you want to end your ambitions at!!!

Pros

Young company, offers plenty of opportunity to rise and progress, clarity in product prices allows for ease of negotiation with customers

Cons

Training is more to test whether candidates are adequate for the role, rarely does it improve sales performance, management is both inexperienced/ non existent and the company advertise that it pays below average salary for all of its roles.
