So do ADC reps stay here long or just use this as a stepping stone job? Asking for a friend who is considering a position.

I used it as a “side hustle” for about a year; beefed up my savings & 401k, paid off my car, and bailed out before they caught on..I would never recommend working here as a primary source of income.
 
















so would you recommend ADC as an easy side hustle?

It could be an easy side hustle -as long as you are well organized, not calling on the same doctor’s for both companies, able to schedule ride alongs with your manager to avoid conflict, and you’re able to avoid having to be at district/national meetings simultaneously, so a little luck definitely factors in.

Does ADC micro manage call metrics and have spread sheet trackers?

A lot of the micro-managing will be dependent on your manager. You will use Javelin to determine your reach & frequency with your docs, and as long as you achieve 85% to target on your routing, you’ll be good for that metric.
You also want to make sure you have multiple breakfast/lunch/snack appts scheduled every week, so ensuring you are organized, and don’t confuse your products, and expense reports is very important.
I would schedule a breakfast with one of my companies, and a lunch with the other company most days, and hit up a couple offices for each company/product before & after lunch, so my activity was good.
It was obviously a lot more work, and I can’t overstate the importance of being organized, and being able to keep everything separate, but it was definitely awesome getting that double paycheck every payday.
