Medtronic is a great company to work for, practicing what it preaches in it's mission statement.

Medical device sales

Business Outlook

Pros

You're helping people live the mission of the company. Alleviating pain, restoring health, and extending life. I get to help someone's mother, father, husband or wife live a longer life. When a whole family is afflicted with a genetic abnormality and our device can help them live out their lives for the most part normally, it's a good feeling to be apart of that.

Cons

Keeping the customers and patients expectations within realistic limits of machine/ human capability. When we have a recall all hell breaks loose. There's a lot of men in this industry and you especially notice this at national meetings. Medtronic as I'm sure other companies still have a long way to go in equality.

The compensation package may be nice, but the stress of job security is hurting the morale of a talented sales force.

Business Outlook

Pros

Broad depth of an innovative product portfolio. Deep pockets for growth potential. High level of professionalism. I think there is a real desire to want to push this company forward, so the potential is certainly in place.

Cons

Too many chiefs at the helm, and an obvious gap in the communications pipeline back down to the real work force. Inconsistent messages relayed from management to the field from qtr. to qtr. (chasing numbers strategy) Poor overall morale among the sales force because of uncertainty within market, and therefore a lack of confidence in the senior management. This company seems to be a perfect example of "bigger doesnt always mean better."
