Great Culture and Growth Opportunities
Pros
Great earning potential right out of school, paired with a solid training program and flexibility. It's an excellent starting point to build a strong career foundation, with a fun culture and a positive overall environment. While it may not be your final stop (though it truly feels like EEG hopes that it is), the sense of camaraderie and experience you gain at Medasource/EEG is hard to find elsewhere. Lastly, one of the things Medasource really got right during COVID was job security. The leadership made it clear that no one would be let go, and they did everything they could to keep us engaged during an uncertain time. Their efforts to stay connected and provide assurance through that period were commendable and I felt the approach on returning to the office was handled decently well as they embraced a more hybrid work style.
Cons
As you start thinking about having kids and managing a mortgage, this job can become harder to consider. The time spent with clients, coworkers, and leadership outside of work can start to feel more like a chore, taking away from personal time. There’s also the inherent risk of your client base taking a hit or having a rough year (which, to be fair, is common in sales), and that can lead to questions about the long-term viability of the role, and sales in general, as a sustainable career. Job security at Medasource is strong, no doubt, but without clearer paths to move beyond an IC sales executive role, it becomes harder to envision this as a long-term career opportunity. The company has made great strides with work-life balance and benefits, which is appreciated, but when you factor in financial uncertainty alongside your base salary during a new phase of life, it becomes tough to justify sticking around once you’ve gained the experience needed to land a more senior role elsewhere. Also, staffing isn't for everyone. It's an unpredictable field and sometimes deals fall through. You have to focus on controlling what you can and stay resilient in the face of challenges.
