Pros
Meridian has excellent products. The other field sales reps are very supportive and willing to help brainstorm a troublesome account. Inside Sales Reps extremely helpful. You can rack up some frequent flier and hotel rewards points Can be an opportunity to get into medical sales Once you realize these reviews aren't exaggerating and begin job searching/interviewing, prospective employers have likely already interviewed other meridian sales reps and know why you're looking to move on
Cons
The pay is you receive does not coincide with how much you work (80%+ travel, office days strongly discouraged, 20 accounts/wk and 50 contacts/wk minimum, calls from RM evenings and weekends) You quickly realize that you can't trust anyone in the home office. The management will deny on Tuesday what they guaranteed on Monday. With the exception of 1 (maybe 2) region(s), your RM will micromanage you. If you're really lucky your RM will call your accounts to see if you actually visited them. You'll hear a lot about how the home office wants you to let them know of any major issues, concerns or areas you see that need to be improved. Don't do it. You'll be accused of not being a team player and not being "Meridian Strong".
