Pros

Some good people in the trenches but have zero voice in the company.

Cons

Worst management team I have ever been a part of and they pretend to be virtuous when in fact they are some of the most unethical people I have ever had the misfortune of being around. Couldn't get away fast enough and the local news media has fully bought into the Cook propaganda, not willing to listen to the truth regarding their mismanagement and under reporting of device issues. Think IVC filters, introducers and wires. Any other company with integrity would have issued a recall with the number of failures they have had with their IVC filter, yet they continue to lie about their numbers and tell Physicians it's their implant technique.

Pros

Great experience for someone straight out of college or grad school. Co-workers feel like family. On-site fitness center & cafeteria. Decent starting salary

Cons

Paltry raises. Almost impossible to make lateral moves (depending on function). Factory mentality even for salaried workers. Strict 8 hour day. If late, be prepared to explain why and how you will make up the time. Horrible PTO. 13 days per year for the first 5 years. No sick days. 7 paid holidays - NY Day, Christmas Day, Thanksgiving & day after, Memorial Day, Labor Day, 4th of July. Such a lean staff that it is virtually impossible to get IT resources to complete projects.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good way to break into medical device sales. Excellent benefits, nice auto package, expense account. Most of the Regional Managers are pretty good and fairly laid back.

Cons

Very low pay, micro managed, not much of an opportunity to earn bonus. Cook does not recognize the word commission therefore in their eyes they pay you what they think is a good salary. It is a good salary if and only if you have the opportunity to earn significant Commission which you do not. Their idea bonus is a pultry sum and even when you hit it out of the park there is no superior pay for superior performance.
