Product Management should be called "Customer Service Rep"
Pros
*Subsidized cafeteria *Some good managers that are actually competent and "get it." However, quality of management by department is highly variable. *Some cool fellow employees to commiserate with *Work from downtown office options (for some Divisions) *Cross-functional work can be interesting, and some international exposure depending on your Division
Cons
*The work hours are insane, coupled with an awful commute. 8, if not 7:30 to 5? If you're coming from the city, that means waking up at 5:30 every day and not getting home until 6:30. No thanks. *Morale problems across the company that stem from the top. Executive leadership / the Mills brothers are narcissistic and only care about generating sales. They do not engage with most Product Managers nor do they exude professionalism or positivity when they are employee-facing. They also patrol the office (especially on Fridays) to make sure people are on their phones (read: this is the definition of micromanagement). *Role revolves around Sales force, so work to is either excessive or non-existent and everything feels like a fire drill. *EXTREMELY customer service-oriented in nature (answering phone calls, responding to basic emails all day) *Because you are "on call" to the needs of reps, you are chained to your phone / email all the time to respond to the redundant questions 500+ sales reps . *If you're looking for "General Management" exposure after college, look for a company that actually is invested in challenging you and your growth. There are so many better healthcare companies out there. You will get bored quickly.
