I was sold with part of the company, even though I did not want that

Sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote work available, some flexibility

Cons

I was informed that I would be working in a part of Perkin that was sold. Chaos, things not working and no clear information why and when repaired. No clear communication overall. The sold part of Perkin had to go through A LOT of additional work but pay stayed the same. When needing help from other departments it can take days and multiple emails for someone to assist. The new Perkin US LLC is not what it used to be at PKI Healthcare. Considering quitting.
