Pros

First line supervisors work incredibly hard and lead by example. High brand name recognition gets you in front of a lot of customers. Lots of growth opportunities in the company (mostly lateral) Company has been giving sales better tech support

Cons

This year's success is punished with unreasonable goals/numbers, causing many of the best reps leave the company within a few years. Top management is terrible at employee communications A commission plan so complicated that no one on the sales team or management or even payroll can explain it coherently. ThermoFisher has so many divisions, often you're competing with sales reps from your own company.

Pros

Fortune 500 company, decent work-life balance, relative stability (even in more aggressive areas of the corporate office)

Cons

Internal communication between managers and junior staff is either inconsistent, rude, or absent; high senior staff turnover, inconsistency throughout corporate about what should drive results, resulting in lack of clarity/drive
