Pros

Use this company to get medical sales experience and industry knowledge then get out. There are zero pros. If you get a good manager you will be one of the lucky ones.

Cons

Poor pay, lots of reductions to your commissions, very little vacation time, terrible health insurance, terrible 401k, bad management. This company makes 80-90% gross profit on their Medline brand product that is manufactured very cheaply overseas, however the reps won’t see this margin. The reps are of zero value to the owners. Unethical and illegal maternity leave practices. You are required to answer emails and maintain your territory while on maternity leave or vacation. No covered expenses. No car allowance or mileage. 100% commission in an industry where you live and die by GPO contracts. Lots of turnover. You will make half of what your competitors make. Prime vendor customers hate their reps and working with Medline, and beg other competitors to match Medline deals so they can leave. Medline drops their shorts so much to win business that competitors walk away from the table, they are making this industry unprofitable. Then the sales rep gets an account with 0% profit margin! You also will not be respected by any reputable company while interviewing, and will have to work hard to really show you are not like the typical Medline rep. Everyone will hate you and have no respect for you in this industry!
