Applied's 401(k) employer match is a scam

Please don't use applied medical as a comparison to Stryker Medtronic and the others in any discussion about comp or benefits.......... That's the equivalent of who was the better QB Manning or Ryan Leaf

 

I second that. That is a much better topic to discuss compared to 401K.

At the end of the day, everyone could pick any company you wanted to work for. It was a matter whether you did your research or not, and how desperate were you to get a job.

It is no one's fault but you if you ended up in a place that you don't like.

 

Is it my fault and many others fault that during the interview process they said it was 140-150k? They had the audacity to ask for 3 years of W2s. They knew what I was making. Still my fault?

 

I would stand up if I were you and not sitting there like a coward.

 

There seems to be a common theme here. Don't trust anyone here. Don't work here unless you're absolutely desparate. And if you must, continue looking for a real job. Got it. Thank you all for your advice.

 

Isn't the real coward Applied Medical? Telling candidates that it's a 140-150k job when in fact you will be good to bust 100k?

 

Did the paper that you sign specified $140-150K?

 

No. I trusted the Mgr. Have you told people it's 140k and then said gotcha it's not on the paper you signed?

 

Spoken like a true con man

 

You don't see the comp plan until after you get in the field. They also told me 150k is easy. Applied only pays on growth. No one ever mentioned negative growth payback. That's a scam in itself. 2014 get 15% on Alexis. If you don't grow you pay back at 30%. That's bullshit. I got an account to do a big order at the end of qtr last year to help district make its #. The result my 120% of quota maxed out at 103% and now I'm paying back more than they paid me in Alexis and Gel.
No one in the industry caps growth and does negative payback.

 

You guys are hopeless.

Go Covidien!

 

Other than recent college grads, or reps fired from intuitive, ethicon or covidien, who the fuck in their right mind would work for applied. Buyer beware, anyone in this industry knows what applied is about, only the meek, stupid, or desperate work for this company.

 

This is a great company to work for. $350K pay, 5 weeks of vacation, 3x matched 401K for sales managers.

 

Negro please!!!!!!!!

 

Completely agreed!

 

You did! Because you could not get t a job else where.

 

Now this homie is being racist. What a red neck!

 

First of the month - time to refresh the original post.

 

How is your crusade coming? Making any inroads? I didn't think so.

 

Look at your next 401k statement and see how few people participate in it. Not many. Because it sucks and most can't afford to participate...sad
