you do get a laptop that you have to document every call in this program that is a nightmare. benefits are good, ins,401k, you can get st disability, dental, ect if you want to pay extra. 2 weeks PTO is your vacation, personal time, sick time etc. no car allowance - mileage 37 per mile, cell phone with GPS that they use as a tracking device to follow your every move all day depending on your manager, starting salary is $40 - $50 depending on your area, bonus if you make your quota - maybe another $16 if your lucky. They are getting so greedy they have raised numbers so high.

I just gave my notice! I am free, I am free! It's not worth interviewing. You will see first hand how unorganized they are if you do. Amedisys is just a name. Patient care is how to sell home health - (I am currently in the top 5% of the company so I know how to sell) Physicans have told me, "tell my nurse, what ever she decides is fine with me!" Make the nurses jobs easier and feed thier tummies and you will do fine with almost any home health co. Do your research, call case managers at the hospitals and tell them you are interested in the home health co in your area...see what they say. Talk to your own physician. Like I said, Amedisys is just a name and I would be willing to bet that you can find plenty of patients that will tell you they would never use Amedisys again.

10:33 PM "I am Free, I am Free.........could you share what state you are in as I am interested in finding out what opportunity you are moving on to. I know there are good opportunities out there it is just a matter of finding them.
 








Oh my god! I should of listen to you...all of you. I interviewed with this company today. What a joke this was! The guy who did the interview was a blooming idiot. He was very unprofessional and creepy. He kept moving around in his chair like he had sat down on a pile of fire ants..maybe hemroids, who knows. Either I made him nervous or he was just weird. This guy was very unorganized and did not know the answers to alot of the questions I asked. Makes me really think that the main office doesn't know what is going on in the field as someone posted. I was nice and finished the interview, if I get a call back, I will pass on this job. Don't think it is where I want to be. Next time I will take the postings on here a bit more seriously.
 
















This company SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so sick of the crap we have to put up with. I spend more time documenting what I do that doing what I am supposed to do. We have grown so fast that now they can't keep up with us so they are trying to micro-manage the hell out of us. Documentation from hell, GPS to track where we go, a manager to call every minute to see what you are doing, needless meetings; what is next? I feel like a prisoner.
 








My advice: get out, there are many local Home Health Care Agencies in every city and in Hospitals. Take your experience and go where it is appreciated and you are treated like an adult that does not need to be managed like a child on a leash. There are other great agencies and you can use that to your advantage. Good luck.
 








I second that completely!!! Go the opposite way! I've been with them for over a year and I am already looking for something better! They don't pay reps enough and they certainly don't appreciate the business that we bring in.... Its always about numbers (even if meet and exceed them) and for a company who supposedly cares solely about the patient care, well thats a joke because all they care about is Medicare and a lot! Not to mention the AVPs have no idea what they are doing. This company is heading in the wrong direction!

This company used to be a great company to work for - now they are so big all they care about is the all mighty stockholders. Forget about the patients that they are supposed to care for. This company has grown so fast that they have put anyone and everyone into positions that they have no business being in and they don't train them so in a nut shell...RUN!

I am looking into switching to Home Health sales, if this company is so bad why do you stay? I wonder if it is worth it to continue to interview here? If you were with another Home Health place, how would you sell over Amedisys services? Any advice?

I would run! This company works their reps till we're burnt out and then they work us some more. Every day we have to submit call reports and conference calls, meetings, its ridiculous. Numbers are never good enough even when you have exceeded quota. They also expect you to sell ten different things like mecr doc, BFL,WC AHhhhhhhhh all at once. Cooperate has no idea how dumb and money hungry they look...

I 'm right there with you!!!! I feel suffocated!
 








Do all the reps feel this way, or are there those few that suck up? If the majority feels like this, have you ever thought about a nationwide strike? What would they do if all the reps (or at least the majority) took a stand and said "no more", until changes take place?

They may say "ok, bye bye", but just think about the severe impact that would have on their numbers and relationships in the field. Any thoughts?

They would say bye bye - they have gotten so big that the CEO thinks that this is the best home health co out there and everyone is dying to work here. Plenty of replacements out there. It will catch up with them cause word spreads quickly on how employees are treated. I feel sorry for the people that are interviewing here they have no idea what they are getting into.

You are correct! Word gets around very quickly and even the accounts get wind of it. The CEO has to believe they are the best because it is his job! But I have known CEO's fall hard when they treat others badly for a long time; and when they fall they act as though they have no idea why.

If it is such a good place to work as the CEO thinks, then why is the turnover HIGH (also known to accounts in the field) and why do good reps like myself and many others I know say NO thank you to an offer or even an interview?

Take a stand!
 








I agree. I know many people - great reps that have turned offers down then laughed about it. This is just a textbook case of growing too fast to handle it. Saw they just bought another company up north. Feel your pain- - keep warning the new reps out there about them.
 








This damn place sucks! I decided today that I will work at McDonalds before I make it another month. Anything is better than coming home stressed out to the point you can't sleep while trying to figure out how to squeeze more "juice" out of the turnips. The pressure they put on you here is way out of line and patient care and focus is out the door. It is all about the money. Makes me sick!

THE MATTER IS ALREADY UNDER INVESTIGATION NO COMMENT
 








under investigation...where have i heard that before. the sales manager in this area is as fake and sneak'n as they come. She would rather fire an AE than look at them. The investigation will find nothing like always.
 








I often wonder what does happen after so called "investigation" I must remain positive that some change will occur in due time. Many things needs to change and it has to start somewhere; so i just sit back and wait as I gain my sanity back.
