Pros

I can definitely think of worse ways to make a living. I mean you are selling decent products to a professional audience (doctors) Ok pay, work life balance was ok. Sometimes I heard grumblings about working beyond the clock but let’s face it, it’s a part of life

Cons

Hopelessly lost, disorganized and delusional executive management. Regional Managers do their best for the most part and can pretty much vouch for all of them I am absolutely not a fan of Ocusoft’s primary sales model. The gist is to turn doctors into retail centers and sell Ocusoft products to patients. This idea can work but on a limited basis. It is certainly not a model to rely on for the bulk of your sales or for sales growth. Again not totally against the idea as I’ve seen it work. It gives enterprising doctors a chance to offer a more comprehensive practice. But the majority of doctors simply can not pull it off and doctors simply cannot replace a traditional retail channel for the OTC products Ocusoft sells. Quite frankly I would be annoyed if my doctor recommended some treatment options and then aggressively tried to sell me those treatment options while checking out. I also would prefer to go to my local pharmacy when it’s time to buy more products. So with those two obstacles in mind, how could a company realistically rely on this model for the bulk of its sales? The whole model kind of reminds of multi-level marketing where you recruit other individuals (doctors) to sell your products and you get a cut off of what those individuals sell. Of course how does Ocusoft remedy these issues and problems? They simply add more and more products to make the doctors sell. I was also kind of uncomfortable with this need to close everybody and everything in sight at each call, every call. If I was working a kiosk in the mall, I can see the need for such an obsession with closing. But I took pride in being a professional sales representative and not having to obnoxiously close to every person I encountered when I walked through the doors. There was also constant supply chain issues while I was there and zero communication of goals and expectations between management and sales reps. Quick newsflash for management with regards to supply chain: After almost 30 years there should be no backorder on your most important, well recognized product.

Pros

The sphere of influence and market share this small, privately held pharmaceutical company enjoys is phenomenal! I have watched this company and its product lines grow significantly and evolve into an industry leader, all while continually being ranked among Houston's "Top 100 Employers". As with any growing company OcuSoft experiences "growing pains" however the focus of the executive team on excellence and employee retention is very apparent. Unlike many pharma companies who over hire and allow their reps to market only limited products, OcuSoft has developed and continues to develop one of the most comprehensive product lines in ophthalmology. Great company with, a family atmosphere and a very accessible management team.

Cons

As stated above OcuSoft is a rapidly growing leader in the pharmaceutical world, growth almost always is accompanied with growing pains. This being said the Executive and Management team are sensitive to this and do truly care about their employees..
