Pros

Wonderful customers who were focused on patient health and doing the right thing. Compensation was strong as long as you hit your numbers.

Cons

Too many Chiefs who all think they know everything. Too willing to bend the rules to get a sale. Can set unrealistic expectations and then if you miss by 1%- you are gone.

Pros

Used to be an amaxing company that cared about it's employees. Since Metronic acquired the Company it has been a nightmare. The employees used to smile and care about helping each other. Now it is a care-less, cut-throat, cheap-pay mentality.

Cons

Disorganization, heavy workload, only care about budgets and "this is how we have always done it" attitude.

Pros

Big company so has pull with hospitals. On most contracts. At least they are big enough to not get bought out. Oh wait...

Cons

It's a lot like going to a circus and seeing clowns continuing to pop out of the car. Revolving door. Turnover is absurdly high.
