      Pros

      Some very good young professionals who stay at Cook 1-3 years before leaving

      Cons

      - Unqualified and inexperienced managers - Beware any group or company that needs to tell you how great their "culture" is so many times...because it is a myth. They treat people horribly. -HR team could not care less about people and management only concerned about protecting themselves - Internal problems with quality, recalls, backorders, all get pushed out onto the field sales teams and they have to pay the price both financially and with performance expectations.

      High turnover

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Warm culture, family owned company with Midwest values. Great launch pad for those trying to get into medical sales. Low pressure, little fear of being let go for poor numbers. (although that is starting to change slowly)

      Cons

      Low pay, high turnover. They do not come close to market value in salary. You're expected to grow year over year, against highly paid competitor reps, and you'll earn a few pennies. Upper management does not negotiate and they have blindfolds on with reality. At times it feels like the twilight zone. This is truly an opportunity to get into the industry and you should make an exit after 2-3 years to be marketable. Cook doesn't care, reps are disposable and they decide to spend their money on new hires versus investing it in loyal employees.

      Not a good place to work anymore

      Engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company used to have a friendly environment, but not anymore.

      Cons

      The pay is under the industry standard. No pay increases with promotion. Cook likes to talk about being transparent with their employees. There were no communications of the possibility of a layoff after years (30+) of saying Cook would not layoff their employees. They just laid off 500 employees last week. Some employees had been working there for 30+ years. No more trust and loyalty!
