Pros

I worked with some great people and made a lot of great friends with my time there. Great benefits package.

Cons

The job should never be called Consumer "Sales" Representative. Its a glorified customer service job with your job mostly taking inbound queue calls instead of calling on outbound leads. The amount of calls and follow ups you make in a day are not worth the amount of money and compensation they pay at Coloplast. You make a base of 44k and have the opportunity to capture "sales." It takes 3 months for the company to verify your end user is ordering the products and you are not paid on that until its confirmed 3 months later. Expect to know everything about your end user as well as missed information in sales force could lead to losing the compensation you worked hard to get. Leadership makes it seems like they listen to the problems we had but never acted on it and nothing changed. Expect large amounts of turnover as well. If you are looking to get into outside sales PLEASE do not take this role.

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
