good workplace
HCSC- Health Care Service Co-ordinator (Former Employee), Kolkata – October 10, 2012
My job profile was just to sell medicine to patients, checking that they were having those medicines properly or not... In a short to support the sales team to increase there sale figures.. the workplace was quite good... but the job profile was boring... And the most important part of this job i had learned how to convince people to buy our product...

Unstable company possibly subject to being sold or closed.
Team Member Specialist III (Former Employee), Lincoln, NE – May 16, 2013
Pros: clean and climate controlled.
Cons: poorly managed.
Unstable company. The leaders used poor practices that caused a shut down and eventually a lay off. The employees paid the price for their poor decisions (in my opinion).
