Pros
They’ll hire just about anyone who meets the bare minimum (mainly a clean driving record), which should tell you a lot. Stick around long enough and you’ll likely get promoted — not necessarily because you’re qualified, but because turnover is so high and the talent pool so thin. It’s a cycle that reflects how underqualified and out of touch much of upper management really is.
Cons
I took this job excited by the promise of breaking into a prestigious industry. A company car, phone, business cards, self-managed schedule, even travel for training — it all sounded great. But the reality quickly set in. From day one, you’re tracked constantly and micromanaged to an extreme. If you’re not in your car by 8:01, expect a message. You’re expected to visit 25+ doctors daily, which is widely known to be unachievable. The result? A culture of dishonesty where reps falsify calls just to hit quota. Offices don’t want to see you, and with nothing of value to offer (no lunches, no samples — just brochures), you’re often turned away. This isn’t a job about relationship-building or impact. It’s box-checking. You become a glorified mailman, selling a service that overpromises and underdelivers. Burnout is high, morale is low, and the salary hasn’t increased in years — despite industry growth. If you’re looking for meaningful work, support, or growth, this isn’t it. Don’t be fooled by the surface-level perks — there’s no real substance underneath.
