Bard Peripheral Vascular



















"Didn't need you anyway---Got the job."

Ouch. Bad move. Really bad move. Wait about 6 months and you'll see. As it's been stated before, "Bard is a nice stock to own, but a horrendous company to work for."
 






I came to Bard from B2B and have not regretted the move for a second. The opportunity is what you make of it. Things have also changed a great deal at PV over the past year. New management, products and indications have made a big difference.

Indications don't mean sh*t. And they never will unless CMS changes their reimbursement guidelines. And this will never happen.

Management? Laughable.

Products? Oh, you mean...what is it called...G2. Kind of like "me too". If you guys actually came out with a new product...maybe...just maybe...you will grow out of your "ankle-biter" reputation.
 






Can I get some insight into the current internal moral of this division? Competitiveness in the market?..
Yes, I understand it is cafepharma. Hoping to get one or 2 thoughtful responses amongst everything else. Thank you.
 
















































Everyone please take a chill pill.

i have my second interview Monday and Im impressed so far. Looks like people make a solid income with decent products. From what I understand innovation continues and the pipeline is full. Benefits are insane and the guy that interviewed me seems cool.

Its a job and you have to work is the main drawback as far as I can tell.

You nailed it. This is a great place to be and this O'Brien guy is an outstanding leader.
 
























I have been at Bard PV for 5 years and I have never made less than $215K. The highest I've made was over $300K. Reps in the industry that make more than that year over year are start up reps who were fortunate enough to take a chance on the right company. Every time I hear reps talking about more money, they are talking about a higher TARGET income quoted by the company. Talk to people about W-2's. Who gives a shit about Target pay. Take ownership of your territory and kill it. Your income reflects how well you sell---not how hard you work. It reflects your creativity and ability to move products. Reps throwing consignment on the shelves without a competitor coming off are working hard but not selling shit.

People who do not do well at Bard are usually one of the following:

1) 12-18 months into the job and they realize they can't take the heat (they pay us to perform!)
2) Rep who had a nice ramp up in first 6-9 months of being hired and subsequently have an excellent first full calendar year on the job....but by year three, they can can't handle the higher base and take the first higher salary job that comes their way. Yes, I said salary. This rep was the wrong hire from the get-go.
3) Reps who intentionally play the comp game by shitting the bed every other year and eventually get tired of it.

If you think you might be one of these three, don't seek a job with Bard.

In our current economic times, it's hard to believe how many fucking cry babies are out there. I'm a Gen-Xer. I thought we were cry babies until the tide of children started flooding the streets with their resumes of crap. I've been cruising around this website tonight and it's all I see..... entitled, low work ethic children.
