Very much agree with the numerous comments about Zoll LifeVest... as a former manager there I can tell you they don't care if they turn and burn people, that's the model. Having worked for a number of very 1st class medical device companies this is not one.

It is a DME model, payment is at best quirky, and you will be seen as almost like a pest to your physicians.

MLin- engineer, doesn't value people or have people skills.
BPyle- Yes Man, no personal integrity and big time lack of any resemblance of a leadership skill.
JThomp: in general a good guy, but yes man who wont challenge authority.

Don't fool yourself, I hired over 20 individuals in 24months for this company. it's turn and burn.

So you had a lot of reps leave because you were such a wonderful manager......that is the only reason any RM would be hiring 20+ reps in 24month, NO WAY possible one region is split 400% in 24 months, not even the best regions have that growth. What is the real reason your team left you?

I had a similar experience. The real reason my team left me was they were sick of hearing the lies. It's typical that Zoll management will blame others when things go poorly here, and crucify their own employees.
 






For the reps who actually kill it (while withstanding the monthly increase in quota) in a calendar year, they are rewarded with a split territory. HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?! There is a finite end to the effects of Zoll's penetration! It's so disheartening to exceed expectations and lose half your territory. Truly shameful. Just learned everyone in NYC has quit since I left in spring of 2014!

DO NOT TAKE THIS JOB UNLESS YOU ARE MAKING AN UNEMPLOYED PIVOT MOVE!

managers are just as fooled as the reps but they have to pretend too

yes, but I feel guilty about the need to perpetuate the lies to get people hired and then to keep them. I have shared the clarifying quotes or clarifying information (lies) as shared to me by my director but know now that they were all lies, lies and more lies. I feel guilty about brining people in to the organization after sharing that information which I know now is all lies.

The managers are just trying to stay above water as well, but most of us feel bad about sharing the lies with current employees and potential candidates.

waaahhh! poor you.
 






this place is just messed up. I'm still waiting for this doppelganger executive staff to turn over for when the real management team arrives. What the hell's with our lack of sales leadership and utter incompetencies in marketing, clinical and field support/intake? Is M.L. that stupid?
 






The management team is a bunch of never-have-been or has-beens hanging on for pathetic dear life. ML never amounted to more than a middle manager and has no business leading. He has no other interests nor hobbies. His 20-25yo something kids still live at home when not gluing heads on matches. In keeping with the land of misfits, ML brings SB along the "technology guru" who has never run anything without a crash. How these nitwits are currently where they are is beyond any of use. However, they are embedded right down to the IP so they aren't going anywhere. As a matter of fact, I hope they attract more of their colleagues. The more flies on this turd the better......less to run into in the future.
 






What I'd like to know is how this jacket properly senses, discriminates, and detects true vt/vf. I'm aware that there are electrodes that perhaps provide a morphology template to compare to That of true v-events. Is this how detection works? It can't be 100% rate driven.

Good employees don't last in bad companies, and bad employees don't last in good companies. This is a bad company, we all know it. To thrive in it, means you need to pull shit that would never fly as legit in other established companies. It's the only way to succeed here.

Why is every DME company the worst one to work for? How can an entire industry be shit?

When you have worked for a big player with resources and scientific data, DME is a huge change. The best way to describe it is...Bush league. You spending more time chasing paper over a 90.00 product to be paid 2.00 than you will do anything else all day. The reimbursement is maddening and only getting worse. DME does not stack up well in evidence based medicine.

You kill yourself to make 60,000. Going to work for the government would be more fulfilling.
