- There is no formal training, other than online modules from Arthrex. These are good for memorizing some small details about anatomy or products, but don't really provide a solid foundation of knowledge for the job. Your "training" is really just being put in the OR with an experienced rep and watching them work, which may work for some.
- Low, non-competitive pay with strange, non-beneficial expense system. You start on a guaranteed amount. When they think you're ready, you can move to commission... even then, it's a shared commission with your team, so individual performance isn't really rewarded. They also don't give you a 401k until you're 1 year in.
- Very poor work/life balance. I was regularly away from home from 6:00 am to 6:00 PM
- **Important** - Medinc does not show loyalty to employees. Or very little, at least. I was an honest, hard worker. I worked my tail off and committed a ton of time to them... with a toddler at home. That's tough. When I say they don't show loyalty, I mean I made 2 notable mistakes in my 9 months. 2. They weren't small or meaningless mistakes, mind you. They were significant.... but they were mistakes that any and every rep has made. But that's all it took for Medinc to terminate my employment. So disappointing.
If you are considering taking a position with Medinc, just know that employees are pretty expendable there. I had this explicitly told to me by several people at facilities when I joined on, but I was happy to be there. If it weren't for the Arthrex name that Medinc sells, I'm not sure if anyone would stay with the company. The pay just doesn't make up for all of the time and effort you have to spend.
