Avantages
I’ve met some amazing people while working at Dexcom. No one is against the cause that this company is offering to patients, and most everyone is willing to help each other or make an attempt at hitting the sky high goals that is set for us. I came from a place complete opposite of sales and have been able to gain so much knowledge about medical sales and mostly being in a corporate setting, very eye opening.
Inconvénients
It’s not the same as it was when I first got hired on. As with any growing company, change and growing pains are inevitable. But, the standards being held for individuals and the lack of accountability are probably the most frustrating- along with the companies expectations of being able to keep up with anything that pops up in an email. The almost non existent thought of consistency is fun idea. The constant feeling of disappointment and lack of support from not only certain teammates, but from supervisors and upper management, does nothing but bring down morale and create less excitement across the floor. You can’t help but feel less important every time commission structure changes or you’re told to “deal with it and work with what we have”. We can’t keep up with some of the things being thrown our way, and it literally drains all of the energy out of you. A positive attitude can only get you so far, especially if it’s not met with something to look forward to. I feel like they forget that we work with the physicians and their staff, collaborate with the outside reps and most importantly, are the people speaking with the patients... but are treated like an easily replaceable, call center. It’s disheartening. The grass is always greener on the other side. So my opinion probably differs from others, but chances are, I’m not the only one that feels this way.
