They will most likey tell you "six figures." I never saw anyone make that consistently. You can most likely expect to make around 60K to 75K total compensation, depending on your base salary. But things might have changed recently. I don't know.

Thanks! I do think after some things I have heard and read I am going to pass on the job. Do they really make you do that many overnights?

Whe I was there, most people averaged 3 nights a week. Then again it might be different now, depending on the territory.

Update on questions from current rep:
• Overnights are a minimum 2 per week = 8 per month.
o If you don’t show 8 per month you will questioned about this and sent a nasty email form you manager with a CC to the President, indicating that you are not maximizing your time in the field.
• Pay – Could make up to $90
o Some reps have made $100K for one year, but with the constantly changing commission plan it will be hard to make that again, although you could expect to make in the low $90’s.
 




WOW... this site brings back some memories for me. I dont remember any of the names for sure, but they all sound hauntingly familiar.
It was around 2000, and I was out of a job. I had some experience but not much. I interviewed for Polymedco. The interview process: The manager seemd intense, in a not so personable way, but you could tell he was probably a nice guy outside of the work setting. When he did the home visit it was tough to get him to leave. I did my "ride along" in another state. The rep in that state had been with the company only a few months. He was a decent guy, but turned into a robot in the office. He had not one original thought in is sales presentation. It was so odd to me. Just one canned phrase after another. I could tell the office manager felt sorry for him and an order/or purchase was placed that day. I remember thinking when I got back if it was possible that the reps were scientologists. I was given a take home personality test, and honestly looked up the test online and put together a strategy for answering the questions. I was offered the job and told I had the best match in the history of the company. Of course, everyone might get the same line. It was off to Chicago for training. Big pep rally with the VP, it seemed very rehearsed. They brought in a regional from N Chicago, who seemed nice and wined and dined us the first night. After he left we all sat around the table talking and it wasn't long before I found out that all six of us were out of a job. They hired six unemployed people to be sales reps. Hmmm. The training was not organized and the role playing was unbearable, yet enlightening. The phrases and terminology were exactly how my regional and the rep from the other state talked. It was a little to much for me, and I decided that day I didn't want to become like these people. I didn't think I was better, and I probably wasn't a great sales rep. I just know that you become what you spend your time practicing/doing. Upon arriving home, I turned down the job without having another possibility. I trusted my instincts and later got a job with a major medical company known for training their employees and it was the best thing that ever happend to me. I was very successful,and learned relationship sales. I am out of sales now.

also... WHen I got home I told my friends about the role playing and the overall weird vibe, and one of them came upwith this hilarious phrase.. He says it just like a parrot would screech...."AAAARRRRRR....Poly-med-co!"

I guess that sums it up.

I interviewed with them recently and I felt a wierd vibe as well. Although I was hopeful that it was better than it seemed, you could almost tell that it was a bad situation to walk into. The one thing that stood out to me was that when the manager talked about his current reps, all of them were pretty new and I remember thinking, turnover must be pretty high. Although I don't claim to be the brightest bulb on the tree, after reading this board, it sounds like both of our impressions were correct.

They come to your home? You must be joking, Never heard of such a thing. Strange, strange place.
 




Hi all,
Out of curiosity, has anyone that has worked for polymedco in the past ever been terminated for questionable reasons that could be construed as being discriminatory?
 
























I worked for this company a number of years ago. Some things never change. Whats amazing is how many disgruntled workers there are based on how small this company is. Virtually everyone who has worked here has complained... Terrible working environment, absolutely mediocre, "me too" products, etc. The worst.
 








i can not believe that such a small company has this poor a reputation. can all of these people be lying? i find that hard to believe. this must be one of the worst run companies there are if this is all true? what has been going on there recently?
 








Please clarify - -

I work at a small office, and a polymedko rep came in and told me that my product ( a competitive product to what they were selling) was not fda approved and that i could get in trouble for using it?

I did some research and found out this was a lie. Can i report him for that? Obviously this isnt coming from the corporate office - so my guess is its just a desperate rep.
 




That's a pretty engregious statment if the product is fda approved, and I'm sure it would take you as little as 60 seconds to investigate a medical product's validity that you bought from a distributor. Are you sure you didn't misinterpret something that might have been said, because something is amiss? If you mentioned the product you are using then you might get a more specific response to your claim or maybe even an interview with Matt Lauer.

Sincerely,
Poly-hater
 




UPDATE: I posted earlier about a polymedko sales rep who explained that the product we were using wasn't fda approved. One of our physicians called the fda to find out.

It turns out as i suspected that the product is fda approved. The dr. was so enraged he drafted a letter with the reps business card photocopied on it to send throughout the system not to let the rep back in!

Just wondering if this is a company wide tactic? Ive never heard of anything so crazy.

Check with the two African American employees that were terminated in the NY market 2-3 years ago, there should be a case there.

Hello - Regarding wrongful termination, I also was wrongfully terminated and worked with an attorney. I actually have recorded conversations with Pete, that I feel substantiate my claims. Please let me know if anyone would like this information or I would join in with the group in bringing a suit.

Thanks
