While you might be right, it is difficult to put up with the arrogance/ignorance - I must believe it is arrogance as no one could be that ignorant.

Does anyone have an idea as to how much $ KZ has pulled out of the investors?

We don't break out our sales #'s -

How many sales reps has this place burned through?

Lack of leadership. Lack of solid business plan. Lack of oversight. Greed.

When I was there quotas were pulled out of the air. Few ever hit them and few made decent money.

The history with high turnover, on all levels, cannot be overlooked. That comes as a result of poor compensation, mismanagement and little to no upward opportunity. Obviously, not a place you would stay long but, it can provide some $ while you look for a better place. Product is extremely easy to learn so you can multi- task.
 




A jury in Philadelphia ruled today that Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) must pay $5.5 million in the 1st in a series of pelvic mesh lawsuits.

The jury found J&J liable, based on the negligence of its scientists in relation to its Prolift pelvic mesh implant, citing it as the root cause of plaintiff Patricia Hammons’ inability to have sex after it was implanted.

What level of bonus will management vote themselves this year?

As much as they can without running the company completely into the ground.

More than they should ever even think about.

One hell of allot more than anyone of them are worth.

Be honest, that's one fuc@@@ up company with one too many greedy hacks holding the purse strings.

LMFAO - throw the RM's and a couple more dead weights into the mix, and there goes the money. Not too hard to figure out why they have never turned a profit. Also, as to why the reps (who stay) don't make shit.

How the hell does SM sleep at night? What an absolute ruthless POS! He screws a top rep yet again out of a promo, only to bring in another one of his incompetent hacks from Possis. If he and his gang of miscreants were all that, Possis would not have gone down the drain years ago. If this BS gone down the message is clear and our response is F*** You. Hey KZ you awake?

Trust me, anyone who works at Axogen knows full well the crew at the top could care less about the worker bees. Most of the previous posts are spot on in this regard. The fact SM would screw over a well deserving rep seeking advancement is a surprise to no one. They all try to say the right things but, their actions are always indicative of the opposite. The leaders of our organization have no moral compass or integrity. Possis indeed. What a joke

How many reps has Axogen burned through since inception? Are there any original reps left?
Just Askin![/QUOTE

That number is well above the average. Considering the small size of the direct sales force in relation to the high turnover ratio, it has to be among the highest in the industry. No, there are no original reps left. Most reps here are actively looking for gigs elsewhere.

So what is Susan Mckinnon MD offical opinion on Axogen?

Has she provided a written testimonial for review?
Click to expand...



I know for fact Dr. McKinnon does not like nor respect the bowtie wearing, dweeb their company rolls out as the clinical/ translational guru. Most respected individuals with his title have PHD’s or, at least advanced post graduate credentialing. He does not. In short, she is not a fan of axogen.

If that is so, why does ED continue to be the scientific face of Axogen? Why are MT and RM in the west still feeding at the trough? These were Axogen OG, No?

Easy, he works for cheap and he's all KZ can afford. Seriously, where else can that fat goof work? The high top Converse shoes with suits and bow ties are only amusing to adolescents. He runs his BS past KZ, she buys it, and at that end of the day, that's all that really matters. He's been with that company for years and what has he done for them or, anyone for that matter?
