Pros

None at all. Not one thing.

Cons

Polymedco is brutal. The company sells itself as a scientific organization who's studies have changed cancer screening. In reality, all they've done is out bid other companies to become the sole distributor of a good product. So not only is the company itself nothing more than a distributor of overseas made products, but due to their "sole distributor" contract, they have kept what is really a good test away from real labs and real medical companies who could promote its use much more successfully. That brings me to the sales organization. You can search Glassdoor as well as many other sites and find bad reviews for just about any sales organization, but I tell you this, nothing compares to Polymedco in their ability to create a truly horrifying work experience. The tone in which sales reps are spoken to, the dictatorship culture, the teaching of completely wrong sales techniques by people who know nothing about interpersonal relationships or value proposition and the total lack of understanding that employees are actutally people, makes Polymedco an ugly and depressing place to work. Don't believe anything anyone tells you about "the organization has changed" or "new management has taken over". It's bologna. Stay away and find some other place to work. I'll end with this. I'm not a disgruntled ex employee with a vendetta. I'm and happy person with lots of love for life who has NEVER written a bad review about anything prior to this rant. I write this review in hopes that I can help prevent even just one person from thinking working here would be a good career or life move. Believe me, this place isn't preventing Cancer, it is Cancer.

Pros

I stayed sane because of the other Account Execs. And, the snacks were good.

Cons

They were abysmal managers/directors. I refrain from using the word leader because that term would never be associated with them. I have never experienced such horrible turnover within a company. Why was no one looking at management and the conditions we were exposed to? I think we lost six or 7 people in 8 months. Everyone was spread so thinly. Salary adjustments weren't made. Nepotism ran rampant. Expectations were ever changing. You'd leave meetings with your director either in tears or seeing red. Everyone was miserable. You were only fine if you were an offspring of one of the founders/company veterans. We were a medical device company with no medical background or insight. The "programs" we sold were a farce, but they had so much potential to be great and really work amazing wonders in the health systems we partnered with across the country.
