Pros

Flexibility. Good Money. Company Car. Driven Sales Force. Great Reputation with Dr. Community, Great Products.

Cons

Micromanagement with "GPS" type computer system for recording calls. Very time consuming expense reports and on going product testing. Disconnect between HQ in NJ and a suffering economy in Detroit in relation to goal setting and realistic metrics.

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
