Pros

It is an excellent career, calling on physicians is challanging but rewarding. Benifits are great like most large companies can offer. Medical, Matching 401K, Company car etc. I was a person who loved the freedom to set my own schedule and the ability to drive from office to office.

Cons

Over the past decade senior management diminidshed the value of its sales personal. It has become more about delivering marketing messages than sales. Reps are told who to see, how many times they had to see them, what to say, and how it had to be said. They have relied heavily on contract sales forces often duplicating efforts putting a strain on physicians time and relationships.

Pros

Salary and benefits are competitive; senior executive team tries to be transparent about company progress, goals and future direction; senior executive team tries to implement new policies based on yearly surveys that benefit employees

Cons

Middle management lacks accountability and does not live up to the company's mission or the promises of the senior executive team; poor decision making at the top, poor and sometimes total lack of planning which means that employees are always scrambling to accomplish goals with little time to spare; due to economic climate, company is choosing to outsource a lot of core functions which will mean less quality
