Pros

Great company with an EXCELLENT product. Lots of wonderful people in upper management-- great role models with wonderful leadership skills.

Cons

Very frustrating to know that working my butt off results in making someone else rich-- TMs with this company make triple what CSs make with very little difference between the job descriptions. TMs order the CSs around but are not technically considered their managers. Very strange relationship between the two positions. The only way to make more money as a CS is to sell.... Again strange considering that the TM is the one that most benefits from the CS selling. ... One must be crazy to want to work this hard just to watch their "teammate" reap the rewards. If you are interested in this position: Know ahead of time that you will be working extremely hard and make very little money. Even when you have a free moment from cases & sales calls to try and catch up on admin work, you will get pulled to neighboring territories to cover their cases (again, not making you a $). Don't be surprised if you end up working 12-16 hour days. You will be on-call every single weekend and you will be required to answer your phone to patients and accounts even if you are on vacation. As the CS member of the team, you will be the team member required to cover the holiday cases. You WILL be overworked & underpaid and the work-life balance is horrific.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
