Pros

Good manager, good teammates, good benefits, decent pay, decent PTO, territory size is manageable, company car, cell phone paid, gas, insurance, maintenance all paid for.

Cons

Nearly impossible for salespeople to promote to higher levels within the company (career ladder, oncology, biologics). Company does not value internal promotion whatsoever and they would rather hire externally. Sales goals are nearly impossible to achieve, and sales leadership does not seem to care at all about motivating the sales force. There is next to NO recognition or reward for salespeople. They won’t promote salespeople internally, but the same sales leadership people keep getting promoted, despite them making extremely poor decisions that negatively affect sales. They always blame the salespeople for bad sales but never take any accountability themselves.
