Pros

Good products but the whole space is commoditized. Good base salary It appears the home office is trying to compete with other companies in the area by providing perks like lunches, etc. Trys hard to create a positive environment but ignores the fundamentals of what is creating the problem in the first place.

Cons

Culture of fear Hyper growth expectation not backed by business fundamentals An expectation that simply providing a resource will overcome a fundamental issue If their is a problem gaining business, it is always blamed on the representative having inadequate product knowledge Extremely poor management in some areas. Play with the numbers on the compensation plan causing many reps to try to work the system.

Thank you for your feedback. Our commitment to our patients and products is always our utmost priority, and this is what our values and actions reflect. We believe that our culture is shaped by our employees. To that end, we frequently survey and ask for feedback on how employees are feeling and are building programs around what we hear back. In addition, we are implementing other mechanisms for feedback such as 360 reviews and targeted engagement strategies customized to address the particular needs by department. Although this is a work in progress, we appreciate your feedback. It is particularly useful when employees take the initiative to participate in our internal surveys and reach out to HR or Culture teams to help address.

Pros

Benefits, pay, and catered lunch orders every shift. Company currently growing and seeking to expand its operations. Will learn plenty in lab with the training--opened my eyes to how biotech industry can work with this being my first professional role.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with less consideration for slower coworkers, coworkers that felt cliquey, and management that seemed distant and unapproachable. Getting along with coworkers was the toughest part for me. Some coworkers seemed unapproachable. Had trouble feeling a sense of belonging on the team with seemingly constant critique about my performance with very little mentioning of people seeing improvement.
