Pros
I had two different supervisors during my time and really enjoyed interacting with both of them, although it was almost always remote. I was the only Specialist at my facility so visits were infrequent. The pay was adequate for the experience I came in with. There was a nice focus on career development with monthly check-ins and goal setting. It wasn't a goal of mine, but if you want to get into medical sales, this is a good foot in the door. You get a lot of exposure to Sales Rep's and learn how to interact with surgeons and OR staff.
Cons
The stress of working in the OR really got to me. I had no one to lean on or get help from during stressful situations. My sales rep also tried to pretend to have authority over me which in reality was not the case, but I felt pressure to do things in ways I would not have otherwise. I ended up doing my best to train the nursing staff and my replacement for several weeks before and during my notice period and still got badmouthed for quitting by my rep. I also found it nearly impossible to schedule a day off, or God forbid, call out. I would end up on the phone all day with the substitute technician, not that it was their fault. Overall, Stryker wasn't completely to blame, but the toxic culture of the OR and narcissistic surgeons are what made me leave.
