So a recruiter contacts me and says there's this great opportunity at this place with "amazing growth." Looking for the "right person" to be a marketing director.... Supposed to talk soon, but then I found this board... yeah, makes me a little nervous. Any insight into this part of the company?

Let me help. Head of HR, Head of Sales (GI), Head of All Sales = GONE. VP's, Sales Directors == GONE. The Asians paid a country load of money when the company was going in the toilet. The toilet is now stopped up and they are trying to flush it. All that being said, this company is in big trouble. The same people they fired are the same people that were running it in the ground when they paid almost a billion dollars for the place.

The drive thru at McDonald's holds more promise

This is simply not true. This company is on the verge of greatness. It would get there faster if people like you would leave and let the pro's handle this rebuilding job. The original poster would be very lucky to get in on the ground floor with this company......... amazing opportunity doesn't even begin to describe it.

You must be friggin' NUTS!!!! Run, as fast as you can.....
 






Miraca is on the verge of greatness? By providing a service that is a pure commodity and self-referral labs drive down the profit margins to pennies on the dollar? anatomic pathology in the competitive open outpatient market is in a death spiral. Japs who bought this steaming load of a company are probably finding this out right now. Company outlook is very bearish. I predict continued loss of revenue for the foreseeable future.

Do not listen to these very few people who are disgruntled. We have a fantastic organization with amazing and caring leadership. We are a lean process company that operates like clock work and is a revenue machine. We are not even scratching the surface! You would be honored and welcomed here if you are the best of the best like most of the people here. Please don't listen to a few disgruntled sales people..... they will soon we gone. We can and will win........ it's what we do.No-one can match our quality, our TAT, and our leadership strength and determination. Positive thoughts people.... that's the start.

This clock runs backwards!
 






I agree. Don't listen to the few potty-mouthed sales people who are probably drunk when they post (if you'll notice the times they're posting...). Miraca is a great place to work. We are going through some upper management changes, which is typical when new ownership takes over. Expenses are also being scrutinized and people who may be guilty of padding their expense reports are taking offense to it, but don't let that scare you off.
 






As the person who wrote one of the late night posts, I was not posting drunk.

To advise the future director of marketing for Miraca I propose the following. All GI, urology, dermatology, and oncology private practice groups of any size have already, or are in the process, of building their own in-office anatomic and/or clinical laboratories. They are explicitly allowed to do this through the in-office ancillary services (IOAS) loophole in the Stark law.

When Miraca comes to talk them, they say that we bill globally for all our pathology and clinical laboratory testing. We pay some local schmuck pathologist 5$ per case and keep all the rest for ourselves. That means for $100 dollars for an 88305 medicare biopsy, the private practice keeps $95 and gives $5 to the contracted pathologist.

Quality of pathology reads, subspecialty expertise and fellowship training, turn-around-time, and free electronic medical record systems and interfaces (all which Miraca can offer) amount to nothing. Revenue for the practice is everything. The practice managers will say to the Miraca sales rep, if you do our pathology for $4 per case, then you've got a deal! Then LabCorp comes in and says, I'll do it for $3 a case. Race to the bottom. Honestly, how do you sell in this environment?

Unless the IOAS loophole is closed by federal law, this company is cooked.
 






I agree with #9.

There is an HR Troll on this board. It is very obvious. If you need a job, take it otherwise keep your eyes open for something new. Everyone with anything to offer is leaving. Ask the question, how many people have resigned in this company since January 2012?

OK, I'll bite: how many have resigned since January 2012?

sad, but be true. get a free big mac at mcdonalds, vps got rich, we got nothin again.
 






I like the way the people on the this thread are selling the company. They say, "Don't listen to them, they are bad former employees we had to get rid of." I have not heard any of them say anything specific about why the future is so bright. If the future was so bright why was the company sold in the first place?

Don't lie and spin. Just tell the truth about how hard it is to get global business when the doctors are firing us to open their own lab and how other labs offer revenue solutions and we talk about revenue solutions in theory.


McDonald's is sounding good. Free meal with your shift.

The positive thing about this job, is that they will pay you well for the first six months. Take the money and start looking. At least you will make a good living for 6 months.
