Senior Clinical Sales Consultant (Current Employee), central or northern nj, some nyc ok – May 15, 2013
Big pharma on steroids. I you like a lot of scrutiny and to be micromanaged is is the place for you. They want to turn the sales people into drones / order takers.
A Mediocre company that makes a good stepping stone.
Laboratory Technician (Current Employee), Bellefonte, PA – May 12, 2013

In general, the people are nice, but the job is mundanewith little chance of progression. Mangament attempts to plasica the employees by telling them what they want to hear without follow through. Underpaid compared to local bussinesses of the same type by 20%.
Senior Accounts Payable Correspondent (Former Employee), Vernon Hills, Il – April 23, 2013
Pros: time flexibility
The job contained a variety of tasks such as, carrying the responsibility for voucher load, submitting the check run and replying to email correspondents. I gained the confidence to work independently and also learned to train co-workers. The hardest part of the job for me was my own flexibility with solving other's problems, as well as my own. Most – more... enjoyable part of the job was the satisfaction I received from solving many discrepancies. – less

Bids Sourcing Specialist (Current Employee), Hanover Park IL – March 31, 2013
Pros: nice benefits
Cons: a 50+ hour work week for a salary employee is the norm.
Review of products requested on bids from schools across the US. I contact our suppliers or seek others to find what they are looking for.
I have learned about the nation STEM initiative that schools are introducing into their curriculum at the middle and high school level schools as an effort to increase the job preparedness for our future leaders
Wide – more... diversity of talent pool in our team.
Hardest part is keeping out name as no. 1 supplier in the industry when so many try to copy and do the same.
Most enjoyable is working with the dedicated professionals who work well together. – less
Really like my coworkers, but management is p-o-o-r. Their style is to intimidate anyone that questions the validity of something. If you're not into brown-nosing, watch out!!! I found it ironic how in the training it was preached how important soft skills are yet my manager sorely lacks this "necessary skill". They talk about "coaching" to continue – more... customer satisfaction - been there a few months now and have yet to get any coaching at all except to talk about not using the BATHROOM outside of the 2, 15 minute breaks and lunch. My manager seems to enjoy being indignant by constantly speaking to me rudely and ridiculing me when I make a mistake, instead of telling me what I've done wrong and showing me how to do it right. While in training for 3 months I found it interesting to hear the teacher tell very personal information about other coworkers while they were not in the room. They talk a good talk but don't walk it. All I have to say is WATCH OUT. The welcome mat quickly rolls up! – less

Product Manager with Main Focus on Catalog Production
Product Manager (Former Employee), Vernon Hills, IL – March 6, 2013
Pros: proficientcy in catalog production.
Cons: lack of marketing budget for new programs.
The lion's share of Cole-Parmer's (division of Thermo Fisher Scientific) business has been through the mailing of their main catalog and supplemental "Featured Products" brochures. Unfortunately, going to market via the internet is not one of the company's strengths; and the reason for that is the cost associated with PPC programs and other "Customer – more... Loyality" promotions.
I learned a great deal about print publishing, but constantly was a proponent of internet marketing, including email blasts. Sooner or later the Marketing Plans I created will have the dust blown-off them, the programs will be executed, and the result will be additional market share. I wish them success in this endeavour, and since I still am in touch with numerous fellow Product Managers, I will one day hear about this success. – less
