Pros

Great product line, quality sales reps.

Cons

Fairness with employment. After 19 years I was terminated, along with 250 of my colleagues across the nation - around 25% of their sales team. One colleague was two months away from retirement, after 25 years she wanted to introduce her customers to the new rep, but they would not hear of it. A small severance and a no compete clause - she can't even say good by to her clients. My customers are very angry at Patterson, sad and confused. Maybe PDS is getting ready to be sold?
