Pros

Great International Company where if you are born in Germany , you can succeed very well. Also if you are a naive young person living on Long Island, they will love you. Or if you know how to suck up.

Cons

Well they seem to have a lot of disrespect for science and scientists and actually think what they do by selling stuff is more important than the work the scientists and engineers who may purchase their equipment,

Pros

The good thing about this job was being able to learn about the different biomedical equipment and products that were sold and helping customers with technical support when they broke down.

Cons

There were only maybe 5-7 agents available to answer calls at one time for supporting the entire US and Canada. The call volume was about 1,000 calls a day so be prepared to answer at least 100 phone calls every day. The average hold time for customers was about 30 min so be prepared for really pissed off customers who have been waiting on hold. The customers will take their anger out on you and the manager will punish you for it. The work hours were long because you spent 8 hours answering phone calls and worked over time for another 4 hours to complete administration work. Expect to work 12 hour days most days of the week. The sales reps required your assistance multiple times a day and if you could not get to their question within an hour they will report you to the manager and get you in trouble. The level of stress in this environment was extremely high. I would not recommend this place to work to anyone.

Pros

Benefits are awesome. The office is pretty amazing, and they offer some great perks, such as pizza usually weekly, snacks, coffee etc.

Cons

Compensation was minimal, and annual reviews were unjust. The managers and supervisors were under so much stress from the upper division, that their misery was spread down to the "little people" on a daily basis. Any job within this company is all about the numbers, and if the company doesn't meet these numbers, then we all suffer.
