Thank you for taking the time to post this review. Although I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your time at MEDISCA, we are very grateful for your feedback. As you mentioned, sales can be high pressure and targets can seem unattainable at times. The extensive initial four-week and ongoing training we provide our sales representatives aims to alleviate some of the pressures and provide them with all the resources needed to succeed in this type of role. We do not only pride ourselves in having top performers but also having employees that understand the importance of working together and sharing tips and tricks. Please be assured that the cameras within our facilities are not there to monitor employees but rather ensure that we are providing a safe and secure workplace for our employees. When you were employed with us I do hope you provided feedback to help us in our efforts as we are always looking to evolve and improve. We put a lot of importance on continuous improvement and I do hope that one day we will have the opportunity to work together again and tackle certain challenges to remain the leader in our industry. Best Regards, HR Department

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience or working with other departments. We provide periodic communication training which we will look into providing more often. We always try to promote from within however if there are no higher positions available for a length of time, it can take some time before a promotion can be achieved. We value giving opportunities to young professionals to develop their skills, learn about our business and gain experience which helps them develop their careers.
