<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2707297"]You are extremely fortunate that you were able to find another gig in this economy. Then again, it's not very hard to find a job paying more money than what we are making at RS Medical these days. I came in at around the same time as you did and completely agree, things couldn't be worse. Reimbursement is dropping like a lead weight, the amount of paperwork with private insurance and Medicare to get things paid is overwhelming, and corporate simply thinks that new products are the answer - I don't care if I have a catalog of products to sell, if insurance doesn't cover those products then what good are they to us in the field?</p><p><br /></p><p>Every time I hear of someone going on an interview managers tend to look at an RS Medical rep like they have two heads when they try to explain that RS Medical doesn't do any annual or semi-annual reviews, or, that RS Medical doesn't adjust representatives goals based on territory changes like losing a big insurance contract, or a product from your bag (like Bionicare), and that there are no merit increases based upon your individual performance in relation to your regional counterparts or national ranking, and that we have no sales contests other than the annual run towards Presidents Club. They ask me where my incentive lies beyond simply trying to hit my commissionable revenue point monthly? Come to think of it, that's a very good question. I suppose it's trying to just get over 16K in sales every month so I don't end up on a performance plan. This all probably bodes well for RS Medical in that it makes our exit strategies all that much harder b/c all a prospective hiring manager can get from us is our ranking, # of units monthly, and monthly sales $ number. At this point I'd consider going to a pharma gig over this mess, and that is truly sad. I realize that these are difficult times, but the reality of this entire situation is that RS Medical has brought this upon themselves despite the economy due to the way they have dealt with insurance companies all these years. They are also out of touch with their representatives and managers in the field and aren't very open to ideas. If you bring an issue forward you are only viewed as being negative instead of offering up a potential solution. </p><p>I am thankful for having a job right now but must say that if this economy turns around, there will be a mass exodus from RS Medical. We've been promised change, and management has asked us to be patient through all the transition and let our new system work itself out. Well, we're all still waiting and haven't seen corporate deliver. I know how many chances I get if I don't deliver numbers every month - how many chances does RS Medical management expect us to give them in return before trading in our loyalty for another position?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
