Very Unprofessional Company - Sales Katalyst Surgical Employee Review

Pros

They are good at promising things that they never deliver on. Limited management.

Cons

Very unprofessional atmosphere. A human resource nightmare. Not a "do they right thing" company. Management team does not know what they are doing and is all over the place. Very cheap company who looks out for themselves and not their employees. Management style is very hands off and manage from a fearful environment instead of an encouraging one. They will rope you in under the guise that you will be making a certain amount and then when they fly you in to sign the papers--it drops to half of that number after 6 months and then goes to full commission. They cannot provide the product to sustain a full commission employee. Turnover rate is HIGH. Very "sue happy" company so beware before signing. Limited amount of training for a surgical sales job.

Pros

The company has excellent benefits.

Cons

The upper management at the company is not organized. I had one manager who was easy-going, but the next one was passive-aggressive. In addition, just prior to my separation from the company, they bought and completely refurbished a new location. However, the manufacturing floor in the new location was not large enough for the projected manufacturing output. This is a sign of the poor planning that was common in upper management. Also, Zeiss, the corporate overlords, have a large exposure to China, which is currently in a recession or depression. As a result, all divisions of the corporation, including Katalyst Surgical, have had to tighten their belts.
