Pros

Great company to get an "in" for OR sales. (they hire pharma reps and people with out prior OR sales experience)

Cons

Poor Pay, poor leadership (Inexperienced managers, leaders in company who would not make it in other companies) promises for salary and bonus never kept, not a very healthy work environment. They go through reps like water. If you need to take a job with applied to get into OR sales, it's great as long as you know that going into to the role. Keep in mind they fire most reps within 24 months. So be looking to advance outside of the company or you will most likely be fired or making a very low salary. It was a great stepping stone to get to a company that more appropriately compensates reps and has a more mature corporate culture.

Strangest Company Ever - Big Turnover

Pros

Experience if you're just graduating out of High School and living at home (so your parents can still support you).

Cons

Poor management; poor wages; poor benefits; only hire family members; family members stick together; no performance reviews or wage increases; extremely tight with their finances; invest in buildings without investing in their employee's; go with the flow or you're terminated; must speak and understand Spanish or you are an outcast. A lot of politics and favoritism. Huge turnover in employees. In addition, they're not the most friendly people. Employee's don't speak and are on 'edge' on a daily basis. In my 30+ years of being in the corporate world, I have never worked in an envorinment such as this. The employees are miserable and consists mostly of teenagers of family members. If you are not a family member, you are considered an outcast and you will be treated as such. It's sad because the company is strong and they have an excellent product line. They are clueless otherwise. Not very professional and lack experience. No Integrity. I can not wait to find decent employment elsewhere.
