Pros

Fantastic training. Great product. Proper tools for easy job success. Good place to get your foot in the door for med device but not a place for a senior clinical’s.

Cons

The Clinical Specialist role has continually transitioned to Associate Sales Reps (called that by management). A good clinical is essentially doing the job of a rep but without the title or the pay. No clear path for advancement in the role, a chart exists but is vague and not followed. No structure for raises. Raises typically given when understaffed for retainment not for merit. No yearly raises to adjust for cost of living or time at the company. With more competitors on the market and low compensation for this role, candidates are not brought on with no experience and competitors are getting more experienced clinical reps due to higher compensation. Discouraged and guilted from using PTO by team and management.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
