Continue our focus on bringing in the best partnerships in the industry to supplement our pipeline and growth strategy. Having the open lines of communication has been fantastic - at townhall meetings, with the survey and accessibility to leaders.

Pros

Advice to Management

Let the reps work together and figure out where the best opportunities lie instead of getting reports from some office that has no idea what the reality of the situation is in the territory. Often I have been directed to "open up" offices or health systems that are strictly "NO REP & NO SAMPLE." Why would I go running into a brick wall all day when I could be out growing my other accounts. Management lacks faith in Reps abilities because many come from non pharma background.

Pros

Flexible schedule, great products, great benefits, team environment

Pros

Pleasanton location and the Coolsculpting team.
