Poor management - Sales Representative Stryker Employee Review

Poor management - managers are not promoted based on merit or experience , they are promoted based on how close they are to senior leaders. Human Resources isn’t there to help if you have issues. If you seek help, they will dissolve of the issue by telling you there is no issue . Only approach them if you need information about benefits because other than that , they are pretty much worthless. Awful culture - Its a frat house. The culture is made up of frustrated athletes who are disrespectful and have terrible attitudes. Some sales reps are completely unethical and consume drugs but management will not act if they are high performers. Sales rep hours ? - You are pretty much a slave. There is no work life balance and no one cares if you look like you haven’t slept in 2 months. You are encouraged to work like an animal and senior reps will abuse you and force you to work while they are at home drinking wine on a Thursday night. No on-boarding sales training. For a company that owns most of the orthopedic market, there is little no to training for new talent. New sales reps learn on the go. Managers throw reps into cases on their first day even if they have no clue of what they are doing. How does an orthopedic company send a new associate to cover high level surgeries ? Surgeries that have a huge impact an people’s lives ? It’s because they don’t care about the patients ! They only care about the day to day transactions and preserving their bottom line!
