Pros

Applied Medical has an aggressive and successful product marketing strategy. They design better products (than their two major competitors), manufacture everything in the United States, and sell their products at very competitive prices. They help save hospitals money and that is vital in today's healthcare market

Cons

Unfortunately, much of the Sales and Marketing management are former US Surgical and Ethicon managers. There is an extremely political environment. There is also a significant degree of jealousy and in-fighting between the various sales groups in the field.

Pros

Good training, inexpensive products which really helps when trying to get your foot in the door with accounts. Very good product evaluation process.

Cons

Sales force is irrelevant, if you're selling you are just a name with an attached number with little support. Poor comp plan - has a "gotcha" at every turn. Middle management is bloaded and self serving, many not adding any value to the company.
