Pros
The sales position is diverse and interesting . There are many aspects to closing a sale which with the proper support system on the inside, is very rewarding. Good Benefits.
Cons
Each Business Unit can be extremely different . Quest headquarters does not seem to be aware of significant problems at certain BU. The structure (or lack of) at certain lab units was difficult. Too much control between 1 or 2 upper management positions. To be successful in sales, you need to know much more than lab tests... once you figure it out yourself, you hope to have the support on the inside to complete the sale. Little regard to family/personal time for meetings, conference calls, etc. ex: (Sunday Feb. 14th 7:00pm conference call to introduce new upper mgt??) If the call is important, fine, but this sends a disrespectful message to sales. Not good judgement.
