      Pros

      Focused on success, clinical efficacy of products and being massively trained on the ins/outs of each ~~

      Cons

      A lot of 1st time surgical device reps - coming from ADP, copiers, and such brought an arrogant attitude at times. The seasoned reps with a company or 2 prior on resume where more pleasant to work with and compete against.

      I worked at Covidien full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      Good, low cost health insurance.
      Paid holidays off or double time holidays if working
      Paid vacation time
      Sick days
      Awards program
      Stock options
      Appreciation dinners

      Cons

      Changed to 12 hour shifts
      Moved company overseas to save money
      Pay is not competitive in comparison to other companies
      Raises were inconsistent and very low in comparison to other companies
      I filled in for a supervisory position, temporarily, but when I applied to make the position permanent I lost out to someone with far less experience only because they had a BA (a BA that was completely unrelated to any job within the company)
