Pros

Fantastic Test, Competitive salary, Good benefits, Nice venues for meetings

Cons

Where do I begin? VPSales is a boy child who is only concerned about making his numbers and can turn on the tears at NSM when a patient is presented to him. Give him the Oscar! Training is minimal, GH does not waste money on training its sales employees on clinical data. Training is 4 days in Palo Alto to learn how to use a visual aid and show off the free snacks and lunch. Sink or learn to swim is the best way to describe. Training director is TOXIC and loves to tear you down. And finally.... Management. Sales management, unless you stay on the right side of a chosen few that are close the VP of sales you will be a target. Lots of shady behavior in the West region in the past few years. Constant shift of priorities to make numbers = Pushing the wrong test for the wrong reason to look good. Mine was a horrible experience from day 1. After being in the clinical oncology profession for over 7 years and 21 in Pharma I wish I could take back my 2 years at GH. Best advice....stay far away.
