Pros

Good products and surgeon KOLs

Cons

Terrible leadership, especially in sales. For decades the worst sales leadership in this space. Starting at the top. But not ending there. No strategy or sales channel support or guidance. No clue how to hire Agency leadership either. Leaders with no leadership skills and zero training to help them. The track record of some Gms completely devoid of leadership skills. Pay is lower than most med device competitors.
