It will never cease to amaze me when seeing the number of people who come on to this site and, somehow, still decide to give this place a shot. I can't speak too harshly, because I too made this mistake at one point, but for the person saying that they have a family to support, that the pay and car allowance would be a leg up, and that your experience and hard work should mean something to them....please, don't make this mistake.

This job is only suitable for a young professional looking to make some money while finding a better job. If you go into it with that mentality, that you are only there for a short time, and you can overlook being condescended and treated poorly on the daily, you could make this work for the 9 or so months you'll be around. But when thinking that your skills will keep you around, I can tell you that between myself and the three other reps they let go when I was, your skills and performance ultimately don't matter. We were all above plan, and some of us even leading in specific product categories, but were all still let go. It was one thing for me, because I was in my 20s without a family, but to be let go abruptly after altering your life to fit with this job, it could be much more devastating to lose the job with a family and mortgage.

If you've made the mistake already, check the NC3R report monthly before submitting your commissions (shows all new business sales in your territory) and make the most of your sales by contacting hospitals and selling high volume customers. Also, be sure to ask for around 4 weeks severance and fight for your last commission check. If you don't, they will do everything they can not to pay you it.

You see the number of posts, and the consistency with which they come into this site, so you have to know that something is up. Ask about it during your interview, and challenge them on their responses. If they tell you that things have changed, ask why there are posts from as recently as today citing that it hasn't. I am glad to no longer work for this "company," however at the time I was let go it was a complete shock. If you take nothing else away from reading these posts, please be conscious of the fact that you are an "At Will" employee, that they have the right to let you go at any time for any (or no) reason at all, and that they undoubtedly will let you go within 9-12 months (if you're lucky).

Not all bad people, but a really bad company, and an even worse company to work for. Good luck.

Amen, brotha!
 




This is an honorable and true statement. If you are 23 and need a job for a couple of months, fine. Otherwise, do not do it. Polymedco has the ability to ruin careers in one phone call. The phone call generally arrives on Monday morning around month-seven.
 












Slide - (Lie/Mislead/Deceive) - and Close! What a joke!

Don't forget to take a mug with candy because that ALWAYS changes the previous office policy on not letting reps to see the docs.

For a company that's not pharma, they sure do mirror the tactics of pharma companies...
 




All these posts are true. In my time of a little over a year with Polymedco I witnessed over 35 reps come and go which is a lot considering the entire sales force is around 15. They only have two reps that have been here longer than a year. This is a very dirty company and I do warn you about joining this company. They will promise you over $120,000 in your first year and that they are changing their ways of how they treat employees. ALL LIES!!! Do not devastate your career. If you are trying to break into medical device sales, I know it is difficult to break into the industry, but do not try through this company. There are not any rankings, no presidents club, you will not even know how your peers are preforming as everything is kept secret. You will not even know when someone is fired or quit.
 








Probably one of the worst parts of this job was seeing my job description showing up online before I was even fired.
I made it a few months here and capitalized on the healthcare insurance with an unexpected hospital stay. Because I wasn't able to make quota during the month of November, while I was out for almost two weeks, I was written up in December and given 30 days to right the ship.
Yes, my job was posted online before the end of December.

How many months was your job posted before you were fired? Did you ever confront your manager about the job being posted while you were still employed?

Too much. They posted my job on Monster and local paper while I was an employee also.

A creepy, creepy experience. The absolute worst choice I have ever made in my entire life.

A sad state of affairs and truly a sick company.
 








wow. poster #333, you nailed it. I was probably one of the few that actually didn't get fired...was there less than a year. I better stop there so I don't give myself away...haha. Creepy is the key here...for all those thinking about joining here - unless you are truly desperate, do not under any circumstance. I read all the posts before accepting an offer here...I only did it because I was looking at either unemployment or nearly a guaranteed 100k for 12 months that these scumbags were offering. I knew this was going to be a temporary gig until I found something so I never stopped looking elsewhere. So for those of you here, please keep looking. At least when interviewing, most people seem to buy the fact that this was a mistake. I proactively state that this is the only red flag/hiccup on my resume. Anyway, great description of this joke of a company...creepy.

It's funny how they conveniently forget to inform candidates during the interview process that they will be responsible for selling an old, out dated ESR product line.....

Starts off as 5-10% of your responsibility, but in a couple of months, its 25% of your responsibility....strange..
