I was thinking about going to work for these guys and wanted to know what their reputation is.. I've read that their products are old and expensive and this was like a business start up. The money on the front end is low but within 3-4 years it could be a 6 figure salary? What is the truth behind this company from CURRENT employees? Thanks
 




Just read the other boards. For the most part the equipment is good, it has been around for nearly 30 years, that is not such a bad thing. The insurance coverage could be an issue, that depends on your territory. You probably will not see 100k, not because you are not a good rep but because there are so many factors that are not with in your control, i.e. territory, perception of Dynasplint in your territory, insurance coverage, etc. If there has been a good bit of turnover in your area you are in for an uphill battle because the company does not send someone in to do follow-ups on patients that are fit by reps that then get terminated, that will fall on you and you will probably have little direction from management on how to handle these objections to Dynasplint. If you are seriously considering the position, talk to an Ortho or therapist in your area, ask them their perception, that is probably going to give you the best idea. If I had done this beforehand, I would not have taken the job.

I also worked for Dynasplint for a long time. I got out when the getting was good (sooner than later). They treat thier employees like crap and don't think anything of it. Their philosophy is "oh well we'll just get a replacement". No wonder why they have such high turnover. Last I heard it was around 80%.....yes you read correctly 80%. This equates to 8 out of 10 people leave the company. Oh, and another interesting stat is that most or all leave within 6 months. Check the posting boards they aren't expanding they are trying to fill all of thier open positions. Currently there are 25 open sales positions advertised on career builder. Out of the 125 total sales consultants having 25 open is 20% of thier sales force is non-existent. It's been that way for years and years as long as I could remember from working there. They are driving people away in droves and lose quality people all of the time. Once people get started with the company if they are smart they realize that it's twisted culture and screwed up attitude toward the reps isn't how a good company is run. And if you think that Dynasplint is a stepping stone think again. Other repuatable companies want to see real experience from a real company. Other medical equipment companies don't respect Dyansplint and rightfully so it's not a good company. So rather than having to expalin why you worked for Dynasplint it's better just to not have it on your resume. Heck my new manager told me he would have rather had used car salesman, copier sales, rental car salesman than Dynasplint on my resume. I'm glad he gave me a chance but Dynasplint on my resume didn't help one bit it actually hurt. Read the posts about the company and if you're smart you won't make the mistake that 8 out of 10 people did!!
 




I can't believe what I am reading here about Dynasplint! Working for Dynasplint is and has been a great pleasure! There are many sales consultants that have been with the company 10+ years. I came into a territory that did have a series of turnover, and yes I was provided with all required information to follow-up with existing patients, pursue existing referral sources, etc. I have been able to hit my bonus every quarter and YES you can hit six digits in three years...just get out of bed and know your product and who you are selling to and against!
My manager is the best! No hovering, just good motivation and reasonable accountability. The company is big into compliance, so if you are one that goes against the grain, look elsewhere, maybe try a DME distributor!! Do the right thing or you will be out of a job with a great company! A sales consultant is hired to produce, if you aren't able to do so, you won't be around long with any company! I am provided with all resources necessary to get the job done and the corporate administration is above board and accessible to all of the 300+ sales consultants in the field.

Ok put the Dynasplint kool-aid down. Face it the company sucks and you can't get another job. By the way it's nice to see corporate people monitoring these boards and posting B.S. on them!

Dynasplint is full of people drinking the corporate Kool-Aid. Its all starts out good, happy and then all of the sudden it hit you with so much force it knocks you off your feet.......What did I do?....Why did I take this job?....Why am I being treated like this?.....They never told me this?....I though they said there was business in the territory?.......So I have to start from the beginning?........Wasn't there a rep in the territory before?......Dynasplint doesn't cover United Healthcare?......All of this paperwork?.......I though you said it was going to be better than this?......What do you mean I have to pay for my own expenses related to Dynasplint?......And most of all this starts to happen after month 1 and progressively gets worse and worse until you can't take it any longer and quit. They get you in with all of the promises in the world. Once your in all of the promises go away and the draining begins. They sell you into the company with promises of grandeur and them in one swift swoop they are gone......Beware would be consultant....BEWARE!!!
 




Dynasplint is a definate "scam" company. They promise you the world as a new hire and then once your in everything changes. There's a famous story from the beginning of time that had an apple and snake in it. I think Dynasplint is the snake!

What division did the person that is so upset work for?

Does it really matter? Read the posts and background information on Dynasplint no matter what division, they all suck. Maybe there is one person in each division that posts with a positive experience. But if we're talking about 1 person out of hundreds, I would belive the masses. Let's run it down for you just in case you "don't get it". North, south, west all suck. Ortho, podiatry, neuro, CT&T all suck. Any questions?
 




I am a patient that had used the Dynasplint for my achilles tendon for nine months. When I first saw my doctor for my problem, he said that this thing called a Dynasplint could help. He said that he would have the rep, named Sarah, come in the next week and talk to me about it. When I went in and met the rep, my doctor and she said that it will help my problem and that she would contact my insurance company to see if I was covered. My doctor called me later in the week and told me that Sarah said my insurance would cover it 100% and she got me approved for coverage. And, that I should make an appointment to come in and get it fitted with the Dynasplint and get started with my treatment. I did. Nine months later Dynasplint wrote me a letter and said my insurance company was not paying the bills Dynasplint was sending them and if I could contact them. I did and my insurance company told me that Sarah, the Dynasplint rep, did not get approval and she did not follow the procedure to get approval. In fact, my insurance company told me that "the Dynasplint" was considered "experimental" and there was no proof that it helped anyone. And, if Sarah had filed the proper paperwork it would have been denied for that reason. They told me that she had never had contacted them at all. My insurance company told me that I needed to send in my doctors notes on my condition and they would review it and try and help. I did. Dynasplint did nothing. I did all the work and they have done nothing but try and get me to pay this bill. They asked me if I would request an appeal for my insurance company pay them. I did. My insurance company denied them again for the same reason. Dynasplint asked me if I would be willing to fill out paperwork and have the Medical Insurance Review Board review this and I did. The review board sided with my insurance company. It has been 3 1/2 years and they had a collection agency call me today. I have contacted an attorney. It seems Dynasplint has a scam going. They get patients to get a diagnosis from a doctor, sign paperwork saying they have been approved by their insurance company (when in fact they have not). And after a few months go by, they say their insurance is not paying so you have to. The catch is the patient has signed the paperwork. Dynasplint is a company that also scams it's patients and is committing insurance fraud. If anyone has any suggestions or stories to help my case please contact me at wetandsandy@gmail.com. I am so sick of them and life is to short to deal with something like this. My mom just passed away and I have better things to do with my life.
Thanks!
 




I am a Physical Therapist who had the misfortune of working for Dynasplint 1 1/2 ago. I can personally attest to the veracity of the accounts concerning this disgrace of a company. Being put on probation after only 3 months and having my job listed on Monster, no insurance coverage by the 2 primary insurance companies in my state, managers telling me to put 2 or more splints on each patient to get my numbers up, inventory delays (Corp. still holds you accountable for making your number, regardless of the fact that they are the reason you can't meet your number because you don't have the inventory to bill). In Dynasplint's world, up is down, and down is up.
I should have realized that this was not a true Healthcare/Medical Device Company my first day of training. There were 7 people in my Sales training class and I was the only person who had a clinical/Healthcare background. There were copier sales people, another worked at a cell phone Kiosk, one guy was a track coach, and one woman had her own business selling marketing material. After only 2 days of hands on training, Dynasplint sent these people with zero clinical experience, out to apply splints to patients, most of whom are Geriatric, who typically have Neuropathies, severe contractures, skin intergrity issues, and OA. Would you want these un-qualified people applying these devices to your parents or grandparents?
For those who are still working for Dynasplint, I highly suggest that you keep all you UPS slips. 2 weeks after I left the company, I too was told that I was missing 2 splints. I sent them copies of my UPS receipts detailing when I sent the splints back to Inventory. They "found" the splints a couple of days later.
This is the most un-ethical, sleazy, un-professional company that I have come in contact with. I am back as a treating Therapist again, and I have heard from several colleagues, that Medicare is investigating Dynasplint. In fact, there is one SNF company who had every Dynasplint removed from all their facilities because of fraud allegations.

WOW!! I'm sure glad I read this board before my interview tomorrow. I think I just won't show up. It sounds like I wouldn't want to be any part of this company!!

You just saved yourself a whole lot of frustration. Dynasplint is the worst of the worst and anyone considering working for them needs to take a look at what thier doing. Why would anyone want to be part of such a twisted organization. Heck read the blogs it's the honest truth of people's real experiences with the company. After reading them you'll make the right decision and not be any part of it...trust me!
 












I'm an PA in an ortho office and was doing some research after a rep came into my office and said the PT was requesting a Dynasplint for one of our patients. After reading some of the feedback about the company and product I won't be using these devices or products from this company...ever.

If you are REALLY a PA in an ortho office, you would not be on here. I call bullshit on your post unless you provide the office, so the rep can come and see you to talk to you IN PERSON.

I was actually on here doing some research since the Dynasplint rep came into the office wanting to speak with us about a particular patient. In my search I came across this since it was the number 3 result in my google search on Dynasplint. Your crass attack is the very reason our office isn't going to work with your company or product. Maybe if your company worked on it's negative image more and provided less finger pointing things would be different.
