Pros

Good brand name. The job comes with a company car. Working from home is a perk. Customers are fun to meet with.

Cons

Has had annual layoffs the last 5+ years. No opportunity for career advancement. College degree required but starting salary is in the low $30's. Benefits continually being eroded. Cost of living raises in the 1-2% range annually. Management promotion offer was actually less pay than current position. Leadership uses fear as motivational tool. Middle management positions have often been cut/renamed/relocated in the past 5+ years.

Pros

My first job after college and my internship was a great experience. I learned a lot about medical devices and the medical device industry, and I even got promoted to site leader pretty quickly.

Cons

My training was nonexistent; I learned everything from medical device service manuals. In my region, a billion-dollar company offered no bonuses or decent pay, and the management was micromanaging and horrible.
