Pros

Cook promotes a great work/life balance and truly values making differences in the lives of patients. Because they are privately held, they are able to focus more on patients and less on financial reporting.

Cons

Pros

Pleasant overall working environment and facility at global HQ. Very proud of the products they manufacture. Mr. Cook is available.

Cons

Managers inconsistent with paid time off policy. Salary low. Flat structure but you can move up if you have connections with Indiana University staff. Evaluations are subjective...not very beneficial to improvement. No formal employee development program. Be in your seat 5 minutes before you are scheduled to be there...otherwise...upper management will lock you out of the meeting and you'll get a lecture. Will not up your salary unless you earn an MBA.

Pros

The employees of Cook Medical is what makes Cook what it is today. It is a private company and therefore doesn't have to answer to shareholders - therefore less pressure to sell. You still have to sell but you wont lose your job if you have a couple of bad quarters.

Cons

Pay and compensation is poor compared to other companies. Also, no lateral moves - so if you are interested in another are of the company they don't allow you to transfer. They compnay is divided into SBU's and although all the reps are doing the same job - compensation is very different from one SBU to another. For example, one SBU pays out bonuses every month while another pays out every 6 months and that is only if you have double digit growth.
