Anyone else regret taking this job?

Quote


















Sorry All, but I love this job. My docs love my products and my numbers are doing well. I get to actually talk to physicians where in primary care, nobody wanted to talk about anything. I'm happy here.
 


















Majority of us regret it every day! Slimy mgt tactics and outrageous/unpredictable goals. DO NOT apply here, you will regret selling your soul to the devil, aka Covidien Pharma!

not only will you be employed in 6 mos but the company is hiring for 40-50 new positions. One poster said crappy salary I was offered 80K thats not great but not too shabby. and isn't pennsaid the same thing as novartis Voltaren gel. You get a car, gas card, etc. Why are so many people on this website so ungrateful. I hope I do get this job.

I think it depends on what you were making before. There are a wide range of salaries here, but they are very competitive. If I had to make a guess, I would say b/t 70-80k, depending on your past sales experience and sales results.
 












Ok, I am guilty too as posting Anonymously. But if those who post here about their "grappy" job. why not take a stand and have the "balls or boobs" to post with your real name, job title, location. I bet because if you spent the time you spend here bashing working, and doing your job, you'd actually make money, learn your own product and enjoy your job more. Maybe you snatch too much "sample" and hang out flirting with the RNs. Still I am so very amused reading these posts, the subpar IQs here make me feel quite superior. Thanks.

Remarkable to assume all people here are current Covidien employees. And hey, if it makes you happy... However, also realize to look past the bars of your cage. And if you ask yourself what Covidien is, just relax and think a bit about its past. I have been there since "shower curtains" and "who's your girlfriend" were catch phrases. And since then the package changed significantly, but what is ON the tin is not what is IN the tin. Indeed, Covidien is very, very good at generating capital, but lacks sustainability. So, if short term goals work for you, that's fine. If not, be entrepreneurial, take control over your own actions, and do what you believe is right. Advocating to be a believer here in my view is rather naive, but spewing shit is just as screwed up. For me, being realistic, the conclusion is that Covidien is not much better now than it was in the "Bosses relocate to Rikers Island" days. It has short term goals which have nothing to do with long term, sustainable results, and all with quick, easy fix, short term cash cowing. Knowing that, it shouldn't come as a surprise that employees are treated accordingly. And if that works for you, that's fine. If you look for something more in life, contemplate your actions. But do not preach...
 






Um..the post is called "Anyone else regret taking this job?" on the Covidien Board. It doesn't say.. "anyone regret quiting this job?". If anyone left the company and it was right for them...great. If people are unhappy and still with covidien, then they should look elswhere and leave, or at least have respect for themselves and do their best regardless. using "this company sucks" as an excuse to do a poor job reflects more on the employee than the company.

some of us are not happy about accepting mediocrity. I am glad you are fine with it.
 






If the economy were better 90% would LEAVE! They low balled most reps when they hired last year and many are leaving as soon as they find new gigs!
This is a temporary gig no matter how much you tell yourself it's a full-time job.

Management is so busy tooting their own horns, they have no clue what is going on!
