Pros

Sending patients Medtronic Minimed's diabetes products is very rewarding as they are life-changing devices. If you work hard and put in the effort, you can stand out and make yourself more likely to move up through the company faster.

Cons

At month end overtime is required and we are forced to work Dec 26 and Dec 31. Some of the supervisors only focus on negative feedback and are not encouraging or rewarding, but some are perfect supervisors.
