How do these products measure up to competition? Do doctors still use prolapse mesh? Is Thermachoice is a me too compared to Novasure? Interviewing and looking for honest feedback.

RUN, don't walk...RUN as far away as you can from this job. Pro lift is gone, Thermachoice is irrelevant, morcellex is being replaced by the robot, interceed is 25 years old and dying, TVT is still used, but is 1 of a dozen different slings on the market. The Ethicon sales model is constantly changing and who knows how it will shake out. I am a former Gynecare rep and I can't emphasize how much you will regret your decision if you take this job. Your territory will be huge, and your compensation will be laughable.

That's about as honest a response I can give. I don't have a single friend left in the company that isn't looking for a new job.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks so much for the honest feedback. I asked around today received similar information. Really too bad because J&J is a great company but this division not so much. I heard they were adding energy to the bag? Thats a TON of products to sell!

No problem. When I first started with Gynecare back in 2006, it was AWESOME! Great products, inspiring leadership, and money to be made. Within 4 years the leadership changed and the division made a drastic downward turn. The R&D produced products that were useless and in some cases even dangerous. I was proud to be part of that team for so long, that it genuinely hurts to see what has become of it.

Like I said...best of luck to you, but stay away from that sinking ship.
 






How this division is still afloat and has reps is a miracle. They are the next Advanced Wound Care. Still making some bucks but zero dollars in R&D and will be divested soon. Its funny that only in JNJ can a franchise make money but still be considered a loser and then becomes relegated to red headed step child status and gets no more money from mother ethicon.

This is a position you would take only if you need a job because you don't have one, or if you were trying to get into medical. Just know the products are OLD AS DIRT and the axe could be dropped at any moment.

I was placed into this role and cannot emphasize enough not to take this job. What a joke.
 






Can't agree more with what's been said above. This is very disappointing in what Ethicon has done with this this role.

A question to the former Gynecare rep who commented above---where do you recommend looking if current Gynecare rep? (aside from the obvious- Intuitive) I took this role after the good times of the old Gynecare and am wanting to get out ASAP.

Thanks.

RUN as FAST as you can. Go nowhere near anyone making the MESHES. Don't get involved in that. That is something you don't want to be in. They are still using it everyday in people and people are still having problems and dying and loosing everything.
 






For those that work for this division it must feel like playing Russian roulette daily considering this place can or should shut the doors at any minute. Then again stealing a paycheck for doing nothing everyday is not that bad because they can't really expect growth when they have not invested in the products or business for a quarter century. fun times.
