Pros: resonable compensation, generally good products to sell, satisfying field to work in
Cons: insane pressure, hyped up quotas, a couple nightmarish managers, low base pay
I sold ultrasound for GE Healthcare for 41/2 years. GE is an innovative company, but the growth demands were unreasonable. Management changed frequently, and if I had interviewed with my final manager (no names), I never would have taken the job. I saw a range of behavior from co-workers--some very level and professional, some idiotic. The hardest part
– more... of the job is working in an environment with many other competitors. One of our products simply didn't stand up to the competition, and it was challenging and embarrasing. The best part of the job was providing a solution to healthcare providers that led to helping patients. Sometimes, we did it very, very well. Sounds cheesy, but it's true
I can't image ever going back, though. – less
