Pros

Drinking and commiserating with the other Reps who were just as unhappy at our Sales Meetings. That was fun.

Cons

I went to Meridian after years of working in sales at Fortune 500 companies after my commissions had plateaued and was looking to get into Medical Device Sales. At least I was making commissions then, Meridian has the worst, most unattainable commission structure I've ever seen and nearly none of the reps made anything past our base, which is very low for the industry. Holy turnover! Half the reps and sales managers either quit or were fired in my short time there. MICROMANAGEMENT - don't hire reps if you aren't going to trust them to do their job, they'd rather have you doing needless reports as opposed to selling.

Pros

Decent benefits package Collaborative teams Knowledgeable employees Supportive middle management New leadership in the last restructure has made improvements

Cons

Still a lot of uncertainty since the merger in 2021 HR can be toxic - all final decisions made by them based on personal preference/optics Optics are preferred to actual work ethic and performance Pay is below current market rates Upward movement is nearly impossible unless you are a favorite of HR Consistent layoffs/restructuring over the last 3 years
