Pros

Every day is different, you will never be bored. Easy to sell these products as they are necessary for the Cell & Gene Therapy/ Research Market.

Cons

Salary is far below the average salary for most positions, and there is no ability to get a raise. Bonus structure really doesn't exist, and there are not really any realistic incentives besides your monthly commission. The goals for each territory aren't based on the actual market in that territory, this becomes an issue when you are told what your total compensation should be, since the goals are not attainable you are likely to make significantly less than what you were told upon hiring. There is not a built out support system for the sales team (there is only 1 support staff member for the entire sales team, and that person wears multiple hats). There is no car allowance for sales reps, and the health care plan is not great. There is a lot of turnover and people are constantly asked to wear multiple hats, but aren't compensated accordingly.

Pros

There is a lot of hardworking people who work for StemExpress who are willing to help one another succeed! The open door policy the CEO, Cate Dyer and her leadership team (all amazing females) have, has always made me share my ideas openly and the advice and support I have received for years has been unwavering. It is a great place to grow in your career and learn. Make no mistake, you will have to work hard as in any other company to get promoted but asking the right questions and using resources will take you far. Shadow people, ask for advice and do your best, and you will shine!

Cons

Some processes in-terms of company wide communications (share of information)need a little more structure in my opinion

Pros

Individual contributors are nice and supportive.

Cons

Horrible pay. Difficult working conditions. The CEO is probably one of the most dishonest and self serving leaders I’ve ever met. She lies about her experience, has gained success by taking advantage of other people, and is the must narcissistic leader I’ve ever worked for. There is no communication, employee turnover is horrible, and leadership is punitive by nature. Extremely unethical in how they treat employees. The CEO just wants to get rich and could care less about anyone else. This business will soon fail due to poor management and overall poor business practices. There were grumblings about inappropriate behavior and relationships between the CEO and employees and retaliation if anyone talked about it. I left the company due to their dishonest business practices and overall unethical values. I only regret that it took me so long to leave.
