Pros

There is a real sense of purpose here, namely, helping those with diabetes to manage their condition and live a full life, which is inspiring to me. Very fast-paced, which provides frequent opportunities for learning and growth. Executives constantly evaluate the industry and competition and make big decisions quickly. Good benefits. Fiscally responsible.

Cons

Very fast-paced environment; perhaps handled better in some departments than in others. Inter-departmental communications and understanding of how changes in one department may impact another are not ideal, but are unavoidable growing pains in a fast-growing company. Parking always an issue, but this is a small thing ...

Pros

It's relatively easy work, as in "to get into the swing of things," and it's rewarding to sell the product. The only reason I would recommend this company is that it is a good place to gain experience- not a good place to work long term if you're truly ambitious.

Cons

The nepotism is rampant; the promotions of those around you are ridiculous, and unsubstantiated. Really, it's unbelievable to see (quite a few) people around you who are higher up hierarchically, and yet you know they're dumber than a box of rocks... It's often NOT the case that these people worked harder nor smarter. The people promoted tend to get lucky in a given territory, and thus get promoted for "being successful." If that isn't the reason, then it's because they're in a relationship with another manager. The whole management team is like the Lanisters in Game of Thrones: incestuous. Let's put it this way: most of the promotions aren't based on merit. Another major con is this: you are expected to hit a certain number, but you don't really control that number. For this role you're the "closer" and often the only person that the patient talks to. However, you're not the one to bring in the leads... You can close 100% of your leads, and still not hit your number, because those are arbitrary, and so you'll not get the commission, promotion, nor raise you may deserve. Also, this position doesn't make as much money as it should considering how much revenue it generates...
