Pros

Decent health insurance, 401k match, good PTO amount

Cons

Direction of the company changes yearly. Leadership is constantly changing the focus and is more concerned with call notes entered in CRM, rather than quality work and driving sales. Minimal training when onboarding. Base pay is low for medical sales. Monthly vehicle allowance won’t cover your car payment, therefore you pay for maintenance out of pocket. Fuel is reimbursed and reps are not provided with fuel cards. Commission is hard to achieve. Percentage of reps that actually hit 100% to target goal is extremely low (less than 10%). Additionally, commission payments are ALWAYS incorrect and late. Leadership will change the comp plan at their convenience. Turnover is high. Current reps and regional sales managers are leaving at an all time high. There’s more focus on DEI than generating sales.
