      Medical Sales Reps - Dead End Road

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work Life Balance Easy Job This review is for the medical side of the business. As with anything, the other vertices may differ drastically

      Cons

      Moral is horrible. Turnover is high. Marketing company not focused on sales. Changes in direction every year. Lackluster leadership - can’t motivate or inspire. Motivate through fear. Laid off every employee with an exemption. Sexist, boys club. Unprofessional environment. Militaristic pay structure lags behind industry. They hire young interns to replace seasoned reps. Promote through boys club - you will know more than your boss. Reps lack integrity and morals. The company does not focus on the patient. There is no development or professional growth promotions not based on knowledge or work ethic. Be prepared to wear many hats and take on the jobs of others. Customer service was a 10 out of 10 now it is around 1-2 out of 10. The on going “training” is awful - 0 value ad 100% time wasted. The 401k is awful. I could think of more but I’m sure you’ve got the picture by now. If you’re an actual med device rep with determination and drive, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. If you’re looking for the pathway to retirement and would enjoy becoming an administrative assistant - you’ve found your company.

      Pros

      Working with talented people across the globe

      Cons

      Management's ability to lead and provide a safe, inclusive environment. Company markets this in their Diversity and Inclusion policies, but never seems to audit whether they are actually compliant with it. Especially if there are problems with upline executives. While they provide the advice to talk to HR, even if you formalize that, HR will never respond with actions taken or even follow up with you to see if the environment is better. HR has the EthicsPoint process, but even that is a dead-end for employees that look for help to have a respectful workplace. They just seem to want the problem to go away hoping that if they don't respond to an employee, the employee will just deal with it. That is NOT inclusive behavior!
