Business Outlook

Pros

Incredibly relaxed, fun and open work atmosphere. Great job hiring new employees and great opportunities for lateral and vertical movement within the company.

Cons

Not quite as big as their major competitors, Zimmer, Depuy, Stryker and Smith & Nephew, however a much more innovative and socially responsible firm.

Need more opportunity to earn money

Sub- representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good product and reputation. Product managers are approachable and helpful. Training, when you get it, is good. Communication from Corporate to sales reps is good.

Cons

It might be like this with all orthopedics companies, but the opportunity for a sub-rep to increase his/her income is limited. The main sales rep makes a very good living, while the sub-rep does ok. Don't get me wrong. The pay is good relative to many, many other jobs, but the full sales rep makes a killing with commissions.
