Where are the best medical sales jobs? Which top medical sales companies are viewed as the best employers? Over 1,400 members of the MedReps community cast their votes for companies of all types and sizes to identify the Best Places to Work in Medical Sales.

The Best Medical Sales Companies
The survey also asked questions about the qualities medical sales reps find most important in a potential employer. Over half of respondents (52%) said a strong product line is the most important factor when evaluating top medical sales companies. They want to know that the product they’ll be selling is wanted and needed by their customers. Ideally, they want to sell a product that truly makes a difference in patients’ lives. When asked “What is the best part of your job?” respondents overwhelmingly cited the products they sell and the ability to save lives through those products. The best medical sales jobs allow med reps to make an impact.
For some respondents, a strong current product offering isn’t enough – they want to know the company is committed to innovation through research and development. Approximately one-third (30%) of survey respondents said this was the most important quality in a potential employer. Brand recognition (11%) and strong financials (8%) did not carry as much weight.
The takeaway: Medical sales representatives are happiest when they are selling products they believe in for medical sales companies who offer competitive compensation and encourage work-life balance.

Medical Sales Job Satisfaction
While 72% of survey respondents said they are very or somewhat satisfied with their jobs, nearly half of respondents said they are likely to leave their job in the next year. With mergers and acquisitions at an all time high and an ever-changing medical marketplace, it’s no wonder many medical sales professionals stay ready for change.
The takeaway: Job satisfaction among medical sales professionals is high, but the climate of the industry keeps sales reps open to the potential for change.
