Pros

- Coworkers are great people that like to have fun. - Motorized desks can move from sitting to standing position

Cons

- Management is dodgy and not upfront. They are not on your side. - Supervisors are pitted against each other. - Commission doesn't start until 6 months after you've been hired. - Don't expect to max out commission ($7500 before taxes). Usually, if you work very hard you'll hit $800 - $3000 (before taxes). - No opportunities to move up or go to outside sales - Don't expect any raise above 2% (inflation is higher). You MIGHT get a merit review, but it's not guaranteed. There wasn't one last year. - You'll get an occurrence if late or call in sick the day before. You get 7-8 in a whole year and then you're terminated. - No sick days, so when one person gets sick...everyone gets sick. Happens multiple times every year. - One late day a week (10am - 7pm) - No interdepartmental cohesion.

Pros

At Coloplast, one of the key strengths is its global scale and diversified portfolio across multiple divisions. The company is particularly well established and highly respected in the ostomy space, with strong brand recognition and a solid reputation among clinicians and healthcare systems

Cons

Limited access to key contracts within the Advanced Wound Care (AWD/WTR) segment, creating barriers to growth and competitiveness * Product pricing not consistently aligned with perceived clinical value or market positioning * Ongoing quality concerns reported with foam dressings, impacting confidence in the portfolio * Lack of visible acknowledgment or accountability from leadership regarding field challenges * Perception of misalignment between field feedback and leadership response, with concerns not always addressed transparently * Limited cross-functional support for sales teams; heavy reliance on field reps to gather insights without sufficient internal analytical or evidence-based backing * Missed opportunities to provide structured, data-driven support to strengthen customer conversations and value messaging
