5 years is a long time at ZOLL. Just keep putting your resume out there. It will happen for you. I did have some recruiters say no thank you just because I had ZOLL on my resume, but there many who were glad to work with me. Good luck. To others who are considering ZOLL only go here if you're unemployed. Don't leave a job to come here. At some point everyone here at every level hits a wall for a lot of different reasons. Leaving a bad job would be a mistake to come here.

Yes, everyone leaves. This place is the most dysfunctional, unhealthy work environment I've ever seen. It is a stain on your resume for sure. Future employers wonder what desperate situation landed you taking a job here or why your judgment is poor that you didn't assess the company correctly at the outset. But I've been able to explain it away in interviews thankfully, new job coming soon with any luck.

I had always heard neutral or negative things about Zoll and its flagship LifeVest. I was contacted in early Fall about an opportunity. At first everything was great…a very easy going day and manager. i even ignored my counterparts within the district as they were extremely negative but honest. My revenue quota was low ($20k) and my fit quota was low as well with existing business in the territory. In training I was told that my revenue quota would only go up $1600 per month….I was making 11-13 grand per month….Lets fast forward 4 months….My revenue quota has doubled and my fit quota has increased 50%…The last two months alone, my quota was raised nearly $8k. Revenue and Fit: These are the two ways you get paid in addition to your salary. I have never seen a commission plan like this…furthermore, there are many moving parts to your commission. You can do your job and sell a vest, but the patients insurance policy can easily deny authorization for it after the fact…DME NOT DEVICE.nothing like seeing a big fat zero on your sales report. There are so many moving parts to this process…unlike pharma and device…..I don’t want to make this a long winded passage but I just wanted to share my feedback about this company and its antics out of all courtesy…There are individuals who thrive here and it is merely circumstantial and highly volatile. In addition to the monthly raises in revenue quota and periodic increases in fit quota…there is an annual increase to make it even more DIFFICULT. I was told by my manager that the monthly increase of $3,200 was a “compounded” raise and it was actually $1,600. Funny enough, there was a month i missed quota by 1,300…no compound taken into consideration. I have been at least the second sales rep in a year and my customers ONLY respect me for not bothering them. If you are taking this job to get physician call point experience, great! If you think this is a path to devices, please stop and know its not devices. There are several device companies that hire direct from pharma. Please do your due diligence before accepting an offer. How many reps before you? Book of business, quota, insurance reimbursement, etc. This company obviously operates on statistics as they know you will be gone within a year. What is sad is that with each abrupt turnover, credibility is lost and doctors can’t take you seriously. My humble suggestion is to stay away unless you are unemployed. Its been great, Zoll….Im out of here back to the OR.

Amazing that this is still an accurate post (with the exception of actually being much worse now) and it is dated 2014.

Amazing that its 2 years later and all of this is still true. Such an insight into why this place has a 40% turnover and average tenure of 1.5 years. Nothing has changed for the better, none of these issues have been addressed. Only bad things have developed - less reimbursement, fewer insurances covering, longer wait times on orders, less experienced managers, ruder acs/intake. Really wish I'd read this before taking this awful job.

These positions are being actively filled by firebrand profile reps!

There aren't enough firebrand reps in the gene pool to right this sinking ship. You could have an army of Zig Ziglar clones and this territories would still turnover annually.

Get back to us in a couple of years and tell me when you moved up to at least a "C" med device company. No player would work for Zoll.

LETS NOT FORGET THOSE NEGATIVE ADJUSTMENTS THAT COME OUT OF NO WHERE TO SCREW YOUR REVENUE QUOTA…HOW IS THIS LEGAL?!
Click to expand...
The negative adjustments are out of control!! Much of the time it is due to the COMPLETE incompetence of the internal, non-revenue producing individuals who are doing a poor job. They are underpaid, underqualified and have a real impact on your revenue and business. How can you be held accountable for someone else impacting your business in a negative manner? Billing the wrong insurance, multiple billings on the same insurance, or just not understanding who to bill... It is CRAZY! You can be doing a killer job and someone in-house can absolutely screw you in a heartbeat. To top it of... they don't really care, because it doesn't effect them. They continue to get paid a crummy hourly rate!

Typical AD response. what he doesn't realize is that we work hard and should be compensated for our efforts. But we cannot control what our Intake, billing and exceptions people do to counter our efforts. Go sell more LV is your typical ignorant comment. WE ARE ALREADY DOING THAT YOU MORON! And it's not helping our bank account.
