Abbott Nutrition







How many RSD's have been ruined by the accountant?
Not enough! RSDs are a joke and the accountants are even worse. Manipulating reports to make sales reps look bad. Stop the madness and let us sell. But no! If you love micromanagement, this place is for you. Not to mention the sycophants that hang on by ass kissing the right butts.
 






Simply not true. My RSD is a lovely person. Patient, understanding, compassionate, warm, caring, motivating, strategic and totally focused on driving up business. I hope he/she never leaves
 






Happy Holidays to the best sales team in the country. 2017 will be my final year here. i will be retiring before the NSM. There is no way I will subject myself to another certification. I have been selling this new product for 10 months and I need to be tested again? It has been a great ride despite management teams that don't have a clue. I walk away with a nice pension and a healthy 401K. Not sure if this is a long-term job anymore but I wish the best for you all.

before you go please let us all know how you have lasted so long in this environment. I have been struggling whether to stay or to leave. I have put 10 years here, but things are getting worse. The sales team is treated horribly and my fear is that there will be a major layoff in the next few years. Any thoughts retiree?
 












This division has gone downhill. Use to be a fun place to work but what a joke. Also, somebody please tell the Midwest Rep who won another President's Club to lose about 100 lbs. What happened to her!
 






Not nice. Instead of picking on someone's weight why don't you go out and sell something. You don't win because you are a loser. You will be gone in a few years and will have to get a real job. This job is LA LA land compared to a monthly quota job.
 












Don't they have a board for nutrition cause ROSS is/was a joke. Pushing baby food candy bars and baby milk is NOT PHARMA. Milk. Maids are hillarious and lowest paid "sales" reps AKA Shelf stockers.
 






Milkmaids......You seem to know a lot about Ross....i guess you were fired before all the riches came...i'm sure the New York reps can lend you some money...they have PLENTY!!!!!!!!!
 






























Are you talking about Don Patton.....This loser almost single handid took down a once great franchise. Does anyone remember his claim to fame? It was a plastic container that he called a great innovation that would revolutionize our sales........not
 






Patton's major accomplishment was alienating an entire sales force in about 5 minutes at his first national meeting. Closely followed by killing the respected "Ross Laboratories" name. Interesting when Miles claimed he knew nothing of the name change until after it was done. He was a Grade A prick who quickly led the downfall of the company.
 


















Patton was the beginning, the guys in charge now are bean counters with little ability to understand the business. Virant fell out of favor and got shuffled off, the VP of sales now has no clue, and the RM's follow in lock step. The DM's are the real joke and responsible for running off good reps. So glad to be gone after 3 decades in the sales force!
