Pros

Large company with a diversity of opportunities. International exposure. Nice coworkers who are, on the whole, capable and dedicated.

Cons

Hierarchial, autocratic management in some cases. Old style command and control behavior which uses power to try to intimidate by keeping people in the dark and off base. Bureaucratic and slow to move. It can be very tedious and require a lot of patience to get anything accomplished. Culturally the company can be very rigid.

Pros

Pay and benefits. Multiple opportunities to stay within the Diagnostics division, in the field as a sales representative. Incentives for field employees to move to Indianapolis and take other positions in Training, Marketing and other key departments. Typically paid an average of their sales salary, including bonuses, incentives and commissions, for the first 3? years.

Cons

While working there, I saw that the team selling approach was not effective. It's no longer in place. Claims of being "family friendly" and giving employees a "work/life" balance were never put into practice. HR department not responsive and more concerned with protecting the company interests than a focus on "human resources", and treating employees as such. Policies were not applied across the board. Behind the times in expense reporting, CRM databases and CBT, which resulted in inefficiencies. Training of sales reps lacking in substance.

Pros

Good place to be stagnate. If you like doing just operational type of work this is the place for you.

Cons

No upward mobility. If you are not a member of the EU you are looked down on.
