Pros

Excellent health insurance and prescription benefits, company car, and base salary was competitive.

Cons

Unrealistic sales goals and zero work life balance. Travel was expected to take place on personal time outside of “selling hours”, so meetings, work travel, etc were all on Sunday and late Friday into early Saturday morning. Management that would micromanage and call outside of reasonable work hours. Expectations that a 12 hour day is the norm if you want to succeed.

Pros

Large Global Enterprise company. Lots of resources to take advantage of if you know how to effectively use them.

Cons

Management and top-heavy organizational structure has too many unproven cooks in the kitchen and lots of bureaucracy. They have run off all talent for the “lip service” culture. Unreasonable blanket quotas create only a few places where there is opportunity to survive. Potential interviewees: ask 2 questions. How many territories made quota last year(or this year) and how many regions have actually made plan year over year? That should tell you a lot about what your getting into.

Pros

- Incredibly innovative company - Exciting work life - Good company culture - Strong portfolio of products - Excellent training resources

Cons

Pay isn't very good as an ASR, but once you advance to a regular sales rep it will improve. Being in Trauma, you are always on call, so it is difficult to make big plans on your weekends.
