Pros

Pay varies by division and performance, but the average Stryker rep is paid very well. 100% commission role, annual bonus paid in Jan based on previous year. Sold for 3.5 years - in my worst year I made $265k, best I made $415k (in my mid-late twenties). Stryker is a very sales focused company - valued feedback from reps and has aggressive R&D and M&A to own whatever market they’re in. Great place to make life changing money as a young rep

Cons

Stryker pays well so you put up with the toxic culture. Leadership blatantly says “Stryker first” meaning you’re expected to put company above family/personal life. Quota gets bigger and territory gets smaller every year. I ended up leaving after 8 years in various roles to prioritize family and mental health, both of which are neglected as a Stryker rep.

Pros

Direct leader was amazing. Working together efficiently and effectively.

Cons

After dedicating 8 years to Stryker, I was extremely disappointed to learn upon separation that only 40 hours of my accrued PTO would be paid out, despite having accumulated approximately 240 hours. What is most frustrating is that this was never clearly communicated during discussions with HR regarding my departure. Had I known this policy earlier, I could have made different decisions about using my earned time off. Employees invest years of service and should have complete transparency regarding how accrued benefits are handled upon separation. I am sharing this so current employees can educate themselves on the PTO payout policy before making career decisions, as this was an unexpected and costly surprise for me.
