A lot of better options out there. If you have one, take it. If not, a good place to start. be prepared to be frustrated!

Ten Year reps are jumping ship. Comp plans are setup for reps new reps trying to get into medical devices. Territories are getting smaller and top heavy with managers.

Managers who don't have a clue. Senior managers are even worse.

Says a lot when the large majority of sales force has 2 yrs. or less with the company

Poorly run organization from top to bottom. No vision. No focus. No desire to compete in the market. Execs. making their bonus is the only concern. everyone thought changes at the top would turn things, but...
If you're looking at opportunities, might be better looking elsewhere. This place is going nowhere

Seen by most as the farm system for other med device cos. Spend a couple of years developing your skill with little direction from the clueless people above and then move n to a better gig

You speak the truth bro! Learn as much as you can from you customers and surgeons while expecting little guidance from inept managers. The guy in S FL had his region quartered after 4 losing years but you'd expect that from someone who wears clearcoat nail polish and used to sell defibrillators to Fire Stations.

Inept management is just the start no leadership from the top down, stagnant product development, sales training that has no clue about selling, little to know surgeon education and market development people who can't even tell you what their role is except knowing where the next party is. Guy in S FL is just a small piece of everything hat's wrong here.

This is why Stryker won't buy SNN. Good luck with Syncera.

Amen! I know that guy. The new guy is N FL is not any better. Most managers let to micromanage without putting in any hard field work.

Focus on the shareholder, not the customer.

Is it true that part of the training retirements are two weeks at the Clown College in FL?

Incompetent managers who only want to kiss up to those above. Have to be part of the club to be accepted and get anywhere here.

Foster is a visionary. He has a solid plan for growth and will take this division to where its never been before.

The exact opposite of this ^^^^^. Reality. Get a free paycheck until you find a better job. No future here for anyone, door is revolving and more going out then coming in.

To have a vision you have to understand your customers and products. Totally lacking in the leadership circle. When a clueless person gets information from clueless people, the organization winds up being clueless. As long as the current leadership group is in place we're going nowhere.
