Pros

Interesting products so you can get good experience of selling high value low volume products. You genuinely feel you can make a positive difference to patients lives. Plus the best guys on the ground I have ever worked with.

Cons

Management are clueless. They manage by fear, blame, buck passing. Way to many middle managers, I have never worked in a company where there are so many managers that appear to do nothing. The worst thing about the company is the way they treat employees who offer an opinion when they are asked for open and honest feedback by mgmt. I agree with a previous reviewer, the 2 days extra holiday if you scored the annual survey higher really sat uncomfortably with me

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
