Pros

The pay is capped but good if you can hit plan. The benefits are very good. If you get a good manager and are skilled at playing political games, then you have a chance to get in line for management opportunities.

Cons

If you attain a sales goal, expect that to increas20-30% even if the national market placehas only increase 5-10%. Very politicaly driven. Company is becoming more known for paying physicians for their business (just google it).

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
