Pros
-Coworkers are supportive, talented, and care about the patients -Customer Service is very available and helpful -Good for someone who has never had a sales role before because everything you should say and do is spelled out for you -Commission can add up for those meeting and exceeding budget goals
Cons
-Base salary was extremely low ($40,000) to motivate sales -Front office people are not paid enough so the quality of people hired for that position is questionable and if they are any good they will quit soon after hire. I worked with 5 different front office people in a year and a half. Without a good front office person you are basically screwed. -Pushed to work Saturdays without additional compensation -high pressure to sell put on the hearing instrument specialist. Micromanaged and questioned after ever tested no sale as to what you did wrong. -pricing of the hearing aids can't compete with neighboring private practices and big box stores -misleading marketing ruins patient's perception of the company -poor work life balance because there is too much to do each day. I ended up working an extra two hours over every day because of follow up calls and paperwork.
