Pros

Company pours a lot of resources into the Sports Medicine division in the form of new product development and Med Ed. Company gives reps the freedom to leverage aggressive/creative programs to win new business with hospitals. Company promotes from within. Territories are continually getting smaller so more opportunity for promotions into leadership. Overall a great place to work!

Cons

Too conservative in resource allocation to the sales force. Salary and commission is not great even for top performing reps in comparison to other ortho device companies. The pay structure is changed every other year and it's usually not in favor of the rep. Also consistently has backorder issues on vital products the customers need. Puts reps in very difficult situations to retain customers.

Pros

Good people to work with

Cons

Revolving door for executives, so company strategies are not consistent. Executives do not spend time with employees to understand how well they are performing or what they like or dislike about their jobs.
