Pros

Coloplast is an exceptional company to work for. It’s such a meaningful job, you are made to feel that you are really helping customers as the majority of them that you speak to are very appreciative. To be good at this job, it’s important that you are able to show empathy as you are speaking to customers who have intimate healthcare needs and they need a sympathetic ear when they call up to place their orders for stoma bags or catheter equipment. They pay is very good as is the bonus’s which are easily achievable if you show dedication to your job. The company is forever rewarding their staff, from £100 John Lewis gift card at Christmas for all employees to small tokens such as a Easter egg for all employees at Easter. These perks help you feel appreciated, which in turn makes you want to do the best job possible for such a outstanding company who actually care about their employees.

Pros

Beautiful building, nice view, good health insurance

Cons

Behind the beautiful building is a terrible company that lies and misrepresents information to its to employees, and customers. I have listed just a few of the major problems with this awful medical manufacturing company 1) There is zero advancement opportunity. Rarely does anyone move up or into a different business unit. They promise advancement but it is at a snails pace at best. Most talented employees end up leaving for better opportunities with competitors in the market since advancement is rare in this company. It’s sad that competitor companies see people’s talents more so than the company they work for. It’s also a very flat organization. You have the supervisors, and then right to the VP of sales. Of course this terrible business model doesn’t lend itself to advancement since it’s too big of a jump 2) Upper management is incredibly unempathic. It’s ironic because those who run the Care/Sales teams beat into employees heads to show empathy to patients, yet management does not show empathy back. It’s all about the numbers and the bottom dollar. The company advertises on its signs on the floor “Beer Fridays, Home office awards, fun place to work, etc” NOT one of these claims are true though. So it’s a complete slap in the face to loyal employees who put up with all the lies and misrepresentations. 3) In regards to the “Care program” it is simply a sales program hidden under the guise of a patient education program. Employees are held to numbers and paid out monthly bonuses based of “captures” which is just different verbiage for “sales.” The whole department is directly held to a sales quota. So it’s a complete lie and just a way to increase clinic referrals. 4) The company is based in Denmark and Denmark does not have a clue about how to execute sales strategies in the US. You never hear back from HQ in Denmark no matter how many times you email them. They aren’t interested one bit employees quality of life or satisfaction or any ideas for process improvement. 5) Not one supervisor on the sales/consumer teams has a degree in business, or management (much less any graduate degree). So the result is team members with a higher level of education or business insight then the managers themselves. This creates issues because the supervisors do things on a whim, or inact protocols that make very little business sense and employees feel that their ideas are swept to the side
