Pros

My boss is incredible, patient, and kind yet still makes me feel challenged in my role. My team has also been incredibly supportive since I started a few months ago. Pay is pretty decent too. I didn’t realize it was possible to be this happy in a job. So glad I left my last company (Ferring)

Cons

The training period was slightly disappointing. Everything was perfect up until we visited home office and one of the gig trainers treated us like we were first-time sales reps. It was extremely belittling and patronizing. As a tenured sales rep I couldn’t believe I flew across the country to be “taught” remedial skills like how to make a phone call, lol. He talked to us like we were babies but I won’t be seeing him again so it’s fine.

Pros

25 days PTO for everyone regardless seniority; 12 weeks parental leave; lots of holidays. Workload is reasonable. Hours are flexible as long as you get the work done. (I work remotely)

Cons

Slow to progress as management wants people to fully function at the next level before they promote.
