Pros

Gold standard products, true want to do the right thing for customers and patients but that is where it ends.

Cons

Last year there was a salary decrease in the bonus program of about 30k. This year there is an additional cut for another 30-60k depending on performance. We now carry more products than ever and are doing the job that once 2 people did at a lower compensation! I don't know how you sell that! Cost of living is not taken into consideration and neither are the sales reps. Our established customer base and relationships be damned with the most recent re org. Their attitude is if you don't like it leave. Unless you have had a title promotion (and trust me it is title only) I don't know if one person who isn't looking to leave. Stay away from this train wreck.

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
