Questions about Rotech


Hey faggot this is a pharmaceutical board get your gay O2 company responses off of it. You are a moron with out a life why else would you waste time to respond to questions from people asking about a job.

This may be a PHARMA BOARD but you are looking at a DME company who so happens to push just a small handful of DRUGS that relate to Respiratory, that is struggling financially.

So if you don't like the talk about finance or DME, DO NOT LOOK AT... ROTECH, AMERICAN HOME PT, APRIA, or LINCARE!
 



Day in the life a SR. Well it depends.
You will be answering phones, setting up patients, going to physician offices.
Dropping off O2, you will be going over the HIA, printing tickets, batching tickets for billing.
You will be doing blueprints, and selling overnights to get more oxygen business.
You will be in charge of morning meetings.
You will be the CSR, the LCM, the PST, and the SR all in one unless of course any of those other positions are filled but you never know when someone will walk out the door so you better learn it all.
You will be paid anywhere from 25-38K and your points expectations will coincide with the amount of money you are paid. If you are 25K you will be expected to hit 9 points, they just made the hurdle one point higher and also have you out marketing the perforomist which they just took that away from your points list. You will make money off of O2, lightweight wheelchairs, hospital beds, Liquid O2, CPAP, BIPAP and you won't see that money until you at least 10 wheelchairs 14 cpap/bipap/10 O2, just realize that you won't see money for a while.

You will be told when you ask a question that everything you need to know is on RotechU so go there if you want to know something.

The training is a joke and if you are coming into the company with no prior experience there isn't anyone there to guide you in your position. You can't go into a Dr's office and expect them to be glad you are there. Especially if you can't talk their talk.

You are the RT also, you will be setting pressures, doing mask fittings, doing compliance downloads.

Be careful which area you settle into, because if your Regional is Renee Sawdey watch out she is a wolf in sheeps clothing, and she will come out of the wood work on you. She will be sweet as pie one second and she will be the nastiest thing in the world the next. GOT THAT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY DIRECTIVE! She will throw you under the bus before she picks you up in it. If there is no buffer LCM, or AM then don't even think about it you will get killed at that location.

You can do something about it...report it to a more viable source than CafePharma or pursue another career path. You have one life...live it, don't waste your time complaining about it like other disgruntled Rotech employees who just can't stop bashing Rotech...move on, your life will be better. Positivity breeds success, negativity just shows others you can't adjust properly to life's curveballs.
 



That's the best part, I don't work there anymore because I found something that was better for my life. I'm just giving you a heads up. Best of luck to everyone, every location is different and I met some fantastic people also.
 












Does anyone know what the starting paid for the branch manager position? Too tell you the truth, the position is what you make of it.

And indeed it is. Pay should be your secondary concern. Being able to hire your relatives, lovers, and run your location as if it were your own is sweet. And even if you ruin your location and cannot get away with those things anymore, you will have time to set up your own business on the side. DO IT!

I sell sex toys on the side.
 












where is SR position?
High turnover about 40% per year. That should tell you alot about this position.
base is low around 45k.
you may make 15k- 20k bonus if your lucky.
lot of running around for the oximeters.
 



Oh give me a break. To all of you bitchy whinney a_ _ people. Sure, as an SR you be asked to do set-ups "on occasion". Help with office paperwork "on occasion" and even help in the warehouse "on occasion". I do it all the time and guess what for those of you who have access to monthly lists, I'm in the top 25 every month. It is such a proud and fullfilling moment when in a referral's office and I'm able to say 'I took the equipment you ordered to Mr. .... and everything went just fine. As a matter of fact your patient & I were wondering if ______ would be a benefit as well?'
Being involved in EVERY aspect of the locations operations is the BEST way to lead, build relationships and make a positive contribution to the bottom line aka pay check.
Whatever happened to the hard work ethic in this industry. I guess my 18 years as an RT in a not for profit hospital paved the outlook I have to today. "we're in this TOGETHER".
 






Unfortunately, no. But Fortunately, we co-own another business together. I can only imagine the total bliss if we could have worked together here as well.


WOW three postings in a row! Very good...and you almost fooled the 5th graders who read this board.

You really need to sign up for a Mod on this board and start your own little thread.

You are not in control of your life...I rather doubt you run a business on the side too.

Rotech is NOT any worse than any other company out there. Read up on Apria/LC too.

You only pretend you are still with Rotech b/c the others would have spit you out after the first four hours.

Sure Rotech has some problems, but it really seems to be in little "pocket areas" and not the company as a whole. They could have RIF'd quite a few more a couple of years back..instead they took away 5%. THAT did hurt, no doubt about it..but better -5% then nothing at all.

Any bets on the company going private? Sure is in the air a lot these days. Could be good or bad depending on how they decide to scale to company to be a or the major player in a competitive bidding market. At current rates, I would expect a "scale back" on the internal side which might mean more terminations with only the essentials left to handle the business. Definitely a new model for this industry but not for one only in the distribution world....ring a bell??

Oh there is a "new model" alright. Only one to two people per location to hold things together and beg, borrow or steal from others to have your deliveries done!

Now THAT is a new model for you.
