Pros

Nice people and managers (too much so). Not a lot of pressure to perform above last evaluation/sales period.

Cons

Nice people...this is also a con. This is a very soft company. Hugging it out and talking about your feelings are encouraged. It is a bit riduculous. This company does not understand sales. It is a nurse focused education company. This is the reason they get their butts kicked by its competitors all the time. Need to grow a pair and badly needs strong leadership. Very weak clinical data for AWC product line. Loss of NPWT business due to internal office screw-ups with the FDA is also inexusable. Incompetence.
