4th place company with no chance to move up

Pros

Decent stability. According to LinkedIn, median employee tenure is 3.1 years. Compensation is in line with the market.

Cons

Biocare Medical is a 4th place company. The immunohistochemistry (IHC) market is dominated by Leica, Roche (Ventana Medical Systems), and Agilent (Dako). Then there's Biocare making up 5% of the market. And that's according to the company's own optimistic numbers, so reality could be even more paltry. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for underdogs trying to disrupt major players, but Biocare doesn't stand a chance to move up in the market. Sure, there are a few minor advantages (slightly better customer service, slightly more flexible/open instruments), but that's not nearly enough to get customers to switch. Their protocols are already all set with the instrument they're currently using, and bigger competitors have established partnerships with other vendors to offer more integrated solutions (Leica and RNAscope, for example). Biocare will always be the runt of the litter, picking up whatever table scraps they can. Definitely not the place for salespeople who have any desire to sell something remotely exciting/interesting/innovative.

Not the place for sales professionals

Pros

Commissions paid in a timely manner

Cons

Salary is well below industry standard. Sales people are treated like commodities. They're always blamed for failures but never given any credit for company successes. No acknowledgement programs for top performers i.e. Salesperson of the Year, President Club etc.

Pros

At-will employment allows employees to leave

Cons

Many scientists are not skilled in what they do. Equipment and practices are in violation of FDA regulations (research only equipment used for manufacturing product, poorly written protocols that workers don't follow/ employees are directed to misrepresent data and procedures…). Discrimination is allowed, atmosphere is contentious (yelling is not uncommon), buildings aren't up to ADA standards. Laboratories are unsafe, lack much of standard equipment (no vacuum lines, no floor drains, extension cords hanging from ceiling near solutions) and standard safety practices are ignored. Pay is absolutely terrible, health benefits for dependents is expensive (>$400/month). Location is bad— not good for walking/ getting lunch (in an industrial area with homeless camped nearby). Many senior staff are hostile and incompetent and there is absolutely favoritism ingrained in the company.
