Pros

-Innovative Technology in our sales bag with continued investment in R&D -Awesome Manager in my District (this definitely helps) -Great quarterly bonus structure -Benefits are okay

Cons

-Premium products result in premium prices, which make it challenging to play in the same arena with competitors who low-ball pricing. -A lot more competitive product with minimal quota relief on our end, expectation is primarily double-digit growth -Marketing is so disconnected from field sales and deliver programs that our customers are truly not interested in because the focus when these are developed is primarily on what Alcon wants to accomplish. They don't take the time to assess what the customer or the industry needs, we have committees that include Field Sales, so we feel like we are providing input, but really the decisions have already been made by the time we hear about them. -Those that are promoted are cherry-picked any many times are not fit for the roles they are selected for.
