Pros
Slightly better than being unemployed. Field sales team consists of either unemployed sales professionals, recent college grads looking to break into sales or people who have been lied to.
Kontras
If you thrive in a micromanagement environment, then MBI is the company to work for! Ride alongs with management, product managers and any warm body that can be found in the home office, every 4-5 weeks consistently. Regional Management has little to no experience leading and directing a sales team. Delusional expectations for sales call metrics, annual goals, and the push to sell and promote a sub par target product. Salaries and overall compensation are NOT in line with the industry standards for molecular diagnostics Reps. Meridian Bio has turned over roughly 2 sales forces in the past year due to their "New Culture" mentality. Average life of a Rep. is 6-9 months. Lack of respect towards sales force due to incompetency and ignorance. Watch for red flags and being set up for failure. 90% or over the plan goal may buy you groceries at the end of the week. This is an entry level position!!
