Pros

Though they are all "Onsite Specialist" positions, they vary based on hospital contract. Ask lots of questions in your interview regarding the dynamics at the account. You will want to know case load, team or single specialist account, and if there is SPD expectations. I am a single specialist in-room only contract and I have THE BEST job. Tons of exposure in the OR, I work directly with the surgeons and staff, and have great working relationships with both. I have lots of exposure with the local sales reps and have had multiple opportunities to sell new products.

Cons

This position is designed to help you "break into the field," and you can be taken advantage of because of it. Stand your ground, know what you're worth, and you will be just fine. If you've never worked in the OR before, you need to have a personality that will not allow people to walk all over you, or you will drown and be miserable. This job is what you make it but it's your job to ask the correct questions and know what you are getting into.

Pros

Stryker is a great place to work that fairly pays their employees because they have very high standards for the work that is done. If you are a high achiever, you will be successful

Cons

Very high standards are excellent when you have guidance, but if the vision and purpose are lacking, it is hard to know what to execute on

Pros

Stryker has one of the best working atmospheres I have ever been a part of. They know how to hire the right people and the people mesh together easily and well. They understand innovation and are great at identifying upcoming medical technology to help them continue to grow on a positive direction every year. Unlimited growth potential within any of its divisions once you are in.

Cons

Competitive to get into and the entry level positions can be tough. Attracts a lot of people who are competitive and sales oriented which is great to a point. Also due to the quick nature of the business, many people are trained "trial by fire" style which can be stressful. Finally with the competitive nature comes a lot of people who work outside normal hours for better or for worse.
