    I left this company not too long ago. The grass really is greener people, and I encourage you to take a look. While I am no longer with DSI, this has not stopped friends, colleagues, or random LinkedIn connections from reaching out and asking if I can help them get INTO the very same company that I just got out of. I will tell you what I have been telling them… Beware of the many openings with this company. Sometimes, and by sometimes I mean rarely, you find an opening in which the rep really did leave for a much better opportunity (like myself). However, for every one of those openings, there are several more in which the reps left because their manager was horrid (this fits my reason for leaving even more accurately). While I can't do much about this situation, I did think of a few things potential employees can do.

    1. Pay attention to how many spots are open within the same district. Same district = Same manager. If more than one person left, start questioning.

    2. Ask why the position is open. This might help give you insight as to what you're in for. Also try to reach out to others within the district before taking the job. They might lie, but you might find one person willing to give you honest insight.

    3. I've learned that DSI lies about why employees are no longer in positions. Some managers brag about getting employees promoted internally when in fact that is not the truth at all. Try to do some digging. If you can, try to find someone that recently left the company and reach out. They have nothing to lose (usually) and are more likely to be honest with you.

    For those of you that currently work with DSI. Good luck my friends. Quite a few of you were great people to work with.

    you're so true bc at DSI managers make or break your entire job. the horrible ones ride with you all of the time and/or cancel you a ton, reject your expense reports and make you incur late fees on your credit report, bottom out your FCR scores even if you're ranked highly and they just don't like you. the system is pretty messed up at DSI. promotions, pipeline, annual reviews, are all handled horribly. DSI is a place to just get your experience and move on quickly

    You're a r*****. Quit already and spare us from your bitching. If you don't like it here, then leave. Dipshit.

    If you hear internal promotion it is code for the rep is the last one left, ranked poorly, and dumb enough to stay for the 2 year minimum to promote

    Ha! Pretty much! I wonder how fast the company will fill all of the open spots?

    they must be having a tough time filling them bc I think that San Diego territory has 5 openings and 1 of them has been open since March I think.... Everyone quit all at once

    Same thing happening in the PNW. MASS exodus, and more people on the verge of leaving or are looking elsewhere. Glad to know its not just us dealing with horrible new managers.

    I just noticed that SCal has about 15-18 openings! What happened?! Seems like every single Primary Care position is open. Did everyone quit at once or did a manager fire everyone or what?

    A large majority quit. I think maybe one got fired but I can't really be sure. They had a huge redistribution of management down there so pretty much everyone in LA/OC got a different manager. They switched it all up and Riverside is no longer a district. IT WAS A MESS. San Diego was the only team that kept their same manager but that really isn't saying much. Not sure why SW even left… I heard some great things about him. When you think about it, very few people in SoCal work for the manager that hired them, and your direct manager can really play a huge part in how happy you are at work.
