Business Outlook
Pros
1. Good financial opportunity for reps who are willing to work hard and many hours. 2. Healthy inventory of Medline brand products which are pretty good and easy to sell. 3. Good place for younger, upwardly mobile employees to get job experience.
Cons
1. Company purposefully runs very lean that requires a 100% commissioned rep to take on many additional administrative tasks, taking time away from the core job of selling. 2. No work/life balance leading to high burnout rate. 3. High quotas wouldn't be so unachievable if #1 wasn't such a big problem. 4. Fear-based management style. 5. Rep is responsible for EVERY mistake the company makes; sometimes hitting your commissions to correct it.
