Pros

Bako has a great reputation as the leader in podiatric pathology services and provides a reliable, quality service to their customers.

Cons

Bako offers a low base salary with 50% of compensation tied to meeting quotas. This is actually enticing for ambitious sales professionals, but they grossly overstate what top performers actually are paid in commission. The management is also consistently late in communicating quarterly quotas and establishes quarterly “Management by Objectives” which if not met to their satisfaction, gives management the ability to reduce a Rep’s earned commissions up to 10%.. These objectives are never communicated in advance of the quarter and leave Reps scrambling to pivot to meet new goals which may not even contribute to sales (in addition to trying to meet the always increasing quarterly quotas). This all makes it very challenging to execute any type of long-range sales plan.

Pros

If fabricating criteria and results falsification to meet billable deliveries is your thing, this is a great place to work

Cons

Labor camp disguised as a lab, management blatantly ridicules and insults employees in an attempt to increase output. Rotating door is to illuminate anyone with any real knowledge from becoming a whistle blower of what they are really up to which is billing for false output and putting peoples lives at risk for false test results. Best advice, steer clear from this abomination of a company.
