Pros

Phenomenal products, Corporate Head Quarters staff professional and knowledgable, great benefits, respected within the medical device industry, excellent new hire training in MN

Cons

The territory I was hired to cover, number of work hours and required travel changed immediately after being hired. I believe there was very little direction from management in my new hire training in the field. My achievements were rarely acknowledged but minor shortcomings while learning the business were always highlighted. Overall low morale amongst the team members was very apparent. Unfortunately I believe that there is a lack of solid leadership in this district and not a direct reflection on the company as a whole.

Good Money. Lousy job. They treat their sales reps like replaceable pieces of office equipment.

Business Outlook

Pros

Money. Benefits. Good product to sell.

Cons

You can't take vacation time. No work life balance.. You are encouraged not to take vacation. Everyone is miserable in the field. If they're working there its because they are waiting to get their 2 years on their resume and go work someplace else. They won't permit or support transfers to other divisions of Medtronic either. It's terrible because people are happy in other divisions of Medtronic, the Minimed division just happens to be particularly bad.
