Covidien Work Values

Daily Duties at Covidien :

Methodically met with my current hospital contacts and used my general Surgeon relationships to gain as much business as I could to start with. Running with the Covidien name garnered me much upfront support and sales as well vs the many other competitors out there. Monitored weekly sales reports to track my sales trends. Quick Note: The reason for my short tenure-Company decided at the time to have all the Suture rep's and Endo-Mechanical rep's carry mesh in their bag as well. Almost as if we were competing against one another. Income dropped so went on to work for Olympus.

What they like about Covidien :

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
