Pros
Set hours so you don't have to worry about taking work home with you. You get a small base + commissions, and it's a good beginner place to start if you're looking to get work experience in medical sales.
Cons
It is not really a sales job. It resembles more like a telemarketing gig. The climate and culture of the office is not the most welcoming, and you're heavily micro-managed. Some people thrive under that, I guess.
Pros
NONE, the highest producing sales rep/manager only made 70 on their best year with the co. having worked there for over a decade.
Cons
This is quit literally run like a sweat shop. You are not aloud to talk to your cube mates aside from the lunch half hour. The lunch was moved to only a half hour as the owner found out employees were setting up interviews over the lunch hour. We were not aloud to take regularly scheduled lunch breaks. If you were found in the break room you would be bar-aided for steping away from your desk. I remember on multiple occasions the owner would go from cubical to cubical criticizing people numbers and calls yelling them in front of the whole staff. We would also get multiple emails a week, going out to the whole sales team, stating that we were not performing and criticizing employee performance. I couldn't believe that ANYONE would ever want to work there. People's jobs are threatened weekly in front of the wholes sales team if they fail to produce number he just randomly pulled out of the air. If you ask how those number came to fruition your job would be threatened. This was the worst job experience of my career. There is also ZERO room for advancement. There is a person that has been there 17 years and is doing the same thing she did on day one. There are a couple other that have been there 8 plus years and still at the same desk doing the same job.
Pros
The biggest pro for me was the ability to make commission in addition to my hourly rate. Even though there are a few weeks here and there where I don't qualify for commission, my overall early salary is more than fair. My previous employer paid me about 60% of the early salary I receive now. I know the management, especially one leader in particular, can be rude and discouraging. However, I have found that if I legitimately ask for help at a convenient time, he is more than happy to help me with the problem and suggest some methods that will allow me to do it on my own correctly next time. I have found that once you spend some time with him either one-on-one or within a small group, he is much more personable and is also much kinder and considerate. I have found that he is especially kind to those who openly consider him to be their mentor. The advice he gave me about my future career and everything else he assisted me with, helped me find an even better paying position, where my salary is about 135% of the salary I earned at Nexadental.
Cons
My biggest pro was the drama and gossip. I felt that most of it was pointless and only meant to make others feel bad. I noticed this tended to happen especially among females (not all females, just so I'm clear). I have found that small groups of employees are especially rude and inconsiderate to others not in their "group", especially when the employee was new. During the first few months, this group made it hard for me to work. They would talk about me negatively to the point where the knew I could overhear, but since I was new I didn't want to make any waves. I also wish that I always received commission. Even if I went under my sales goal, it would be very helpful and motivating to receive a smaller than normal percentage of the sales who fail to reach their sales goals.
