Pros
Very nice Corporate Office people. Decent products. Great place to learn basic sales and cold calling. Good launching point to get some experience so you are a little prepared to move to a large well-known Med Device company.
Cons
VERY late to the game with products. Nothing really considered “unique”, mostly “me too” products that would launch 2-3 years AFTER competition launches and establishes expansion. This made every call a “cold call” and selling the customer out of using the competing product when, sometimes, the competitor’s product made more sense or was better. Name recognition of the company is scarce, most people don’t know who Karl Storz is, so access to key physicians was much harder. External Friends of “upper management” tend to miraculously get hired, also, into management, making it extremely hard to move up in your career. The products are significantly more expensive than competitors. Not enough focus on disposable products and steady revenue.
