Pros

Easiest way to get into medical device because nobody wants this position

Cons

- 24/7 on call, no call schedule. - they’ll try and get you to cover cases before your trained, negatively impacting your career and reputation within the facilities. Also, it’s not even legal. - management is incompetent and consistently nonexistent. - no structure to your schedule at all, leaving you no ability to plan for anything consistently. - unclear to no path for career development in this role. - basically, there looking for people who are naive and desperate enough to think they need this role. They target MSC grads who are basically people looking to get their feet in the door of medical sales and don’t know much about the industry. - the next step, which is a direct contract with the team your providing services for, is a pay cut regardless of how much you’ve helped grow the territory. - this list could be much longer but it would take me months to finish, so I’ll stop here.

Pros

Great work from home balance, great team, great direct manager.

Cons

There pay structure doesn’t make sense. They do not value current employees and only offer promotions and pay raises if you say you’re leaving. People with little experience are offered title/pay bumps while experienced personnel in that role are paid less and not offered same opportunities. Also has corporate red tape on many processes that are out of date.

Pros

Challenging work/Friendly coworkers/Decent Benefits (Health/401k Match)

Cons

Bonuses are effected by the performance of other departments that are entirely unrelated to your work. You could go above and beyond and exceed all expectations individually, however they will still pay you a fraction of your bonus due to performance of other departments that are unrelated to the work you do as a practice, and especially as an individual. Salary increases are an absolute joke and are often less than inflation. Because of this you will actually most likely lose money every year instead of receiving a decent raise for your hard work. This is all while the CEO makes upwards of 35+ million every year. Unjustifiable. They stopped all raises, bonuses, and 401k matching in 2020 due to Covid, meanwhile their stock price rebounded to pre-Covid numbers by August 2020, and the CEO took home 26 million that year. They don't care about you here - you are merely a number. They won't offer you what you're worth until you put in your two-weeks notice, then they will make a last ditch effort to keep you by showing you the money they could have paid all along. Every single talented and knowledgeable consultant that I worked with has left this company and found another company that was willing to pay them market rates for their expertise. If you want to be paid what you're worth and be incentivized to work hard, this is not the place to do it.
