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.
