Anyone know anything about them? I'm being pursued by them but know nothing besides what I can find on the internet. Give me the good, bad or ugly. Thanks.

Don't have direct experience, but know someone who accepted an offer then at the last minute went back into pharma b/c she was scared shitless about what she heard about that company. RUN LIKE THE WIND!!!!!!! Bad micro-anagement, low pay, low morale, high turnover...
I am also considering job with Aspire and am alarmed but what I read above. Anyone have anything good to say about them? The base salary and benefits seem good to me - average starting pay for medical sales. But are the commissions unattainable? What was meant by unreasonable sales goals? You have to secure a number of patients by a certain time period or you're booted? What's the sales reporting like? The branch I'm interviewing with doesn't appear to have a manager so I'd be answering to Corporate. Does that help it be a lot less micro-managed? Or worse? Advice from present or past reps would really be appreciated!
Facts are facts!
Nightingale Home Healthcare has been a winner of Top Elite Home Health Agencies six years in a row. This AWARD is by an independent company called Decision Health. To cap it all Nightingale Home Healthcare won the FIRST time announced award by HCAHPs award, Given to top 20% of Home Health companies whose patients (WHO WE WORK FOR) are more than satisfied.
"The HHCAHPS Honors defines a new standard of excellence in the patient experience for home health agencies," said Bill Bassett, Deyta's Vice President of Home Health. "Identifying the top-performers in the home health industry is our way of recognizing HHAs that are dedicated to providing high quality of care in a patient-centric approach. The resulting patient experience is a key driver of ongoing patient and agency success."

I am looking into a job with this company and have read numerous reviews. I thought I read posts on this forum about the management and working atmosphere, but for some reason can not find them now. Before I make any decisions, I would like to hear more about this company and working atmosphere. Does anyone who is currently working, or has worked with them before, have any input or suggestions?
These awards are BS! It's a "no-name" award given by a "no-name" company called Decision Health! Decision Health = Nobody! I know two previous Nightingale reps in the midwest that left because of this company's tactics and work atmosphere. If you want to be interviewed via telconference...if you want to be GPS tracked and your every move monitored... if you want to work in a horrible work atmosphere, then this is the place for you
I was a Patient Advocate for the company for 8 months and quit. It was terrible. You will never see any commissions as described during the recruiting process or a cent of profit sharing. Run. You DO NOT want to work there.
I have not worked as a rep, but have worked with several who have quit and came back. The company does have high standards and those that returned appreciated those standards once they joined other companies and realized that higher expectations helped them become better.
High standards? Are you kidding me? If you call no coverage, no commissions and horrible leadership high standards, I would hate to see your version of low. You obviously haven't worked at many places and are unemployable elsewhere. This company is the used car sales of home healthcare. VERY DISORGANIZED and a disgrace.
The "Dr" posting HAHA!....talk about a used car salesman. People work many years to get that title. Calling yourself that is an insult to the people who refer business to you. Pass the boards or stop.
Ok I'll be honest, I was asked to post nice things here. The company can't really be as bad as everyone is making it out to be. Is it?
All the negative reviews are completely 100% accurate. Below is my first hand experience. Yes, the base salary ($45k) is competitive, until they take it away from you.
-Referrals are very hard to generate because of such high marketer turnover. Social services at hospitals or any other facilities want to see a consistent face, not five different marketers in one year. The owner and marketing manager don't care about that fact and still have unreasonable referral expectations.
-The marketing manager is the only one hitting their quota expectation because she has cherry picked the highest referral accounts and has been a consistent face for 6+ years. Makes sense huh!
-The marketing manager has no clue what she's doing when it comes to managing others. She has no idea how to lead a sales team and quite frankly I'm very surprised she still holds the position of manager. She should be just a marketer, no more no less.
-There's zero training or consistent direction. The marketing manager has openly admitted that she doesn't like training others, hence why she doesn't do it.
-The company refuses to adapt with the times where there's more competition, meaning less referral business. The quota expectations are out-dated and if you don't meet them, they take away your salary and you only earn money on your referrals, which are minimal so plan on working for nearly $0.
-The owner and marketing manager have very poor morals, hiring people as guinea pigs in territories with zero Nightingale traction, without telling them that if they don't produce in the first 90 days they're going to get fired.
-The owner and marketing manager have major control issues, such as having GPS on all marketers vehicles to track your every move. Office employees work in an environment resembling WWII Germany.
Stay away, far away. It's not worth having to add it to your resume experience.

I interviewed there. Was a very strange and easy experience. I admit I am attracted by what seems like a high base but if they take it away from you, then doesn't matter. Btw, that should be completely illegal
If they fire you, do they fight unemployment?
How many referrals are actually attainable to get in a month? Don't they have some accounts in your territory set up? I know there is a ton of competition.

They will fight unemployment and everything else, i.e. non-compete clause.
With all the competition and how poorly the company is run, you would be lucky to get 10-15 per month and you may not even get paid on all of them because they have to be medicare referrals to get commission.
Again, with the excessive competition you won't have any accts set up in your territory. Also, the marketer turnover is so high with the company that no relationship has been established between Ngale and the facilities.
STAY AWAY, FAR AWAY
This place is the biggest joke you will ever see.
They are so disorganized.
