Respectable and stable company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, good work/life balance. Good products. Stable company (with current reorganization, some positions eliminated but management made an effort to find a position within the company for the displaced employees) Can work your way up even without a technical or healthcare background.

Cons

Slow in getting products approved. Overall, very limited career opportunities although some are promoted quickly but majority, not. If you are a professional like an accountant, project specialist, marketing coordinator, these positions are usually classified as exempt in most other companies but at Karl Storz they are classified as nonexempt so if you are not accustom to it or it affects your "ego"it may be take time to adjust

Great Company

Oes (onsite endoscopy specialist)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

NO micromanagement. You manage your own account and if you can do this correctly you will have free roam. Great learning experience for the medical industry. Giving you the opportunity to learn the products and interworkings of medical sales. Excellent benefits and perks.

Cons

As an OES you are stuck in your individual account. Pay raises and incentives are almost non-existent unless you have a great sales team.
