      Potential Outside Sales PI Employees : Read This First

      Territory sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you negotiate to come in as a Senior sales rep, the pay is decent. *** please note it is very VERY difficult to get this coming in and even after paperwork is signed, you'll have to double check it was inputted in the system correctly. (Spoiler alert, it usually is NOT)

      Cons

      -internal systems are broken (ex. it takes a week or longer to get a capital quote to a customer) -micromanagement is rampant with excessive paperwork because management doesn't know how to use the tools at their disposal -mediocre/subpar products that are regularly on backorder and mostly overpriced -favoritism and caddy behaviors amongst teams and management = bad culture -retaliation/managed out of outspoken/knowledgeable reps

      Lack of Direction and Morale Challenges Across Business Units

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The compensation and benefits package is competitive for the industry

      Cons

      During my time at BD, I found that a major challenge was the lack of alignment and direction across the company’s various business platforms. This disconnect often led to delayed decision-making, conflicting priorities, and an absence of clear strategic execution. Morale was noticeably low across departments, and high turnover—both at the employee and leadership levels—further disrupted continuity and collaboration. While the company has strong market presence and potential, cultural and structural issues need to be addressed to support long-term growth and employee engagement.
