I’ve just completed my first year with ConMed Linvatec. To answer the question whether or not it is a good company to work for…the answer is an emphatic yes.
Depending on the territory, ConMed is either run via distributorship or is factory direct. Regarding guaranteed income…it depends on the manager and the recruited rep. I was given a guaranteed income, but my territory surpassed it and was decent enough to pay over $100K the first year.
Regarding management…I’m sure it is like any other company, some managers are better than others.
Regarding benefits…I have full benefits: medical, dental, vision, matching 401K and ESPP. No car benefits.
ConMed has terrific products, but marketing is conservative since the niche the company pursues is High End. 1080p autoclavable video, bomb-proof power, no-nonsense sports medicine and full integration (the only companies which do this, besides ConMed, are Stryker and Storz…NOT Steris).
Finally, ConMed hires very nice people…mostly educated men and women, not failed sports people/meatheads. Also, at ConMed, obtaining only 19% annual growth does not get you fired.
