Should I even go to the interview?

I have a"final" interview tomorrow and wonder if there are ANY satisfied employees out there? I am familiar with cafe pharma and I know that most of the time (95%) there is much truth on these boards.... I do also know, that I need a job and need to help my family with a job and benefits. Is the interview pointless? Is this company THAT BAD? Serious responders only, please. Thank you, in advance, for your advice.
 




Would help to know what position you're applying for. If it's just for grub and a tub, certainly take it until something better comes along. Just don't think you have to put your heart into it. But if you do, then don't be surprised at what you get.
Good place to learn what happens to big companies that cannot/will not treat individual territories as required to the level of what the competition does. That's why Rotech is a ship sinking.
 








Don't let anyone destroy a DREAM! Purposely misspell everything so they can rip you a new one on this board. Work in WORD then copy and paste, they’re so hateful. The political/Economic/CMS Billing world has had many challenges. I have good friends in many different positions around the world and they have also had difficulties during this trend everyone wants to blame OUR President our CEO’s but we elect and if it’s not working we are to blame! Keep your head up and stay away from “–“postings. I have been here since conception and have met so many wonderful + people. ROTECH has one-way, theirs follow it and you will be so progressively forward and bring income to you and your staff. Just remember they are not your secretaries or subordinates they are your TEAM.
 




You should go onl the interview and then see if you get the job. If they offer the job to you then you can say yes or no. All the info doesn't matter until they offer you a job.

Don't fall for "they are your team". You WILL face petty jealousy. That's how Rotech sets up S.R.'s And then they are likely to do just enough to piss off your referral sources over time. How do they do it? It's called "Going By The Book". The ones I knew were Artists at it.

I wonder if they even mention bankruptcy to prospective candidates.
 








S.R.'s with no higher education, background, very little training,poor work ethic and a 9 to 5 attitude with little respect for others and a prema-donna attitude = Rotech's average and failing S.R.'s....pure & simple..Hardworking, edcuated S.R.'s not afraid to get their hands dirty and are not clock watchers ae a success at Rotech and any other company they choose to work for.

SR are not allowed to think on their own. They can only do the things they are told to do. The more mindless a sales rep is the better. That way they won't know how ridicules the whole program is.
 




If you want my opinion, the additional paperwork requirements, rising minimums on business at Rotech, and most importantly almost zero chance for organic growth because of the audits and required paperwork and office visits prior to setups have made selling in the DME industry almost impossible to do well at any company. However, Rotech is the worst because of their financial situation. If you want my opinion, Rotech is demanding way to much of their SRs at this point in time with so little support because of the financial position they are in and having to keep the ship afloat. Because of this IMHO you would be better off maybe looking at another large DME to get your foot in the door. Apria or Lincare, either one, is run much more wisely efficiently, and professionally then Rotech. And of course the proof is in their success and Rotechs failure.

If you need a job though, I guess it would buy you a good chunk of time to find something else.....my guess is a minimum 6-8 months. However, just understand at this point in the game , they are experiencing a revolving door when it comes to SRs all over the United States which tells you a lot. Dont believe me? Before the interview, go do a nationwide search for SRs and find how many positions are open. The reason for this is because it is just impossible to hit goals that used to be based on many different ways you could get credit and business. Those ways went away over the past couple years, but the goals were not decreased but rather increased. Because of this, it has almost become impossible to succeed in certain markets if you have any competition in any way shape or form. Either way, good luck and I hope it all works out for you.
 




Additionally, one might sway away from Rotech if they plan on staying in dme sales locally.
Remember - you have to take your reputation along with you (when) you leave Rotech.
And by then it may very well be stained.

Rotech can not be used as a reference. They will verify dates of employment only. Nothing good or bad will be said about you. You can be the idiot of all times or the best salesperson in the world while working for rotech and nobody will ever find out. Please please please don't go to work for ROTECH it will be the worst move you could make. You'll regret it every day you work there.

No..... Don't waste your time with this company .
 




Ya know the problem with people on this site is that they wont admit that Rotech is better than what they portray it to be. I work for Rotech and have for quite some time. I like working here. Some days are better then others but that is true of anywhere. I cannot control the debt problem or the way management runs things from time to time but I can control my attitude and how I take care of my responsibilities. I choose to enjoy life and my time at Rotech. Otherwise, the days would be very long and my life would be negative. People need to choose to be positive and control just the things you actually have control over. Good day!!

Based on your HAPPYNESS at Rotech it is obvious you are an AM or above. Or, you have worked there for a month or two.LOL But seriously, not many at the location level would agree with you these days. ESPECIALLY PSTs. Everyone who works in a location knows that job is like endentured servitude with no end in sight. They just keep it to themselves because however bad they feel for all PSTs they do not want THEM to figure out how bad their job actually is and go somewhere else or take it out on the staff. But, all jobs at the location level pretty much are bad over all at Rotech. Any employee who has worked at Rotech a long time would know this comparing how it is now to what it used to be ten years ago. Rotech was a decent company at one point, but unfortunately it has gone way down hill in a big big way when it comes to employee satisfaction and business strategy.

Rotech has some really nice areas. However, to many of the LCM's are to busy gossiping with the other LCM's instead of guiding their stores employees. Or even improving their LCM skills to help their location.

GREAT POST...thank you! There are some positives with Rotech.

Let's face it...any location can more forward in a positive manner..starting with the positive attidude of the LCM's is a must though. LCM's if you feel that downtrodden, please, go elsewhere if you can. Sometimes people stay in a situation because the misery of the familiar is the only thing they know...but stop passing it on to your employees.
 




In response to your post:
1) I am not an AM or hire
2) I am not a PST though I have been in the van for weeks/months at a time when short-handed
3) I have not been here for one or two months...As stated in my post I have been here quite some time

I have been with the company for many many years (over 15 to be honest). Of course I remember better days. All I am saying is that I CHOOSE to be happy and I can only worry about the things that I can control. There is no point in worrying about the things that are not in my control.

Good day!!

There will be some that come back and bash you....big deal! Your success at Rotech starts with your wonderful state of mind.

When the new computer system came out last year in our area, the thing I heard the most was on how earth were the "older" (age & or years @ Rotech) workers going to get used to it.

I would just laugh and come back with..."Let's face it. If it was a new big a$$ TV that connects to the internet or Wii we would all have it figured out that first night. This new program is no different. In fact it is better because I get to earn a paycheck to pay for that TV and etc".

Truly is a state of mind as you have stated.
