Pros

Was once a decent place to work. Great pay due to uncapped commission ops, considering the amount of work effort involved. No dress code or extreme policies to adhere to. Able to travel to multiple states for trade shows throughout the year. No long hours. But.....

Cons

The list of cons are so long that I don't even have the time to list them all!! This is a very small company trying to compete with the big dogs across the country, but yet are unable and unwilling to do what it takes for making that successful. Selling capital equipment to hospitals in the USA requires GPO contract participation, and they have NONE!! The parent company and manufacturing facility is located in the UK, and do business world wide. The President/CEO is a complete arrogant, know-it-all idiot, who thinks that just because he owns and runs a world wide company, his way (the British way) is the only way that matters at all!! Because of his inability to listen to sound advice, or fully comprehend what the FDA is all about, he is doing his best to simply run this company into the ground! No effective sales management of any kind.... limited products with proper FDA clearance....zero ability to effectively launch new products to market....unable to manufacture products in a timely fashion....refuses to manufacture products for USA compliance, thus requiring modifications to be done once in the states. I mean the list just goes on and on and on and on.....

Pros

-Travel perks including paid meals, airline miles and status, rental car days, ability to visit and experience nearly all of the continental US. -Once on assignment, independent working environment -Commission on parts and service, monthly travel incentives -Service manager (current) understands position and will lead by example. Will never ask his service team to do anything he wouldn't. -Opportunity for entry-mid level technical position. With an A.S. and few years of experience, this can be opportunity to enter the bio-medical industry. -Service team very close. We constantly communicate with and support each other.

Cons

-Travel will be >75%. On average of 4 days out of state per week. Often rerouted, extended, and extensive driving. Position will be living out of suitcase and toolbox. -Small organization with <40 employees, yet you will be reporting to several administrative supervisors or department heads. Service manager has little power to control anything. -Sales, not service, minded culture. Consistently pressured to make spare parts sales, service visits, and equipment evaluations. -Required, unpaid overtime, weekends, and holidays. Also will deduct PTO for taking time off for appointments and other tasks that require 2 hours or more (this is in question of being legal). I have witnessed and fell victim to working over 40 hours in 4 days, then required to report to office on Friday with several other technicians to do menial work and support sales. -Mid-level management is very condescending and threatening. Not inspiring to service team.
