Any territories open? How is this company to work for from a sales reps perspective?

Thx

They are hiring a bunch of reps with 1 year sales experience for their new biologics divsion.

I was contacted by a recruiter but it sounds like a real shit show.

I left a solid startup gig selling trauma(mostly scheduled procedures) implants in the O.R. to join TIS. It was a big mistake...The cath lab and vascular procedures were extremely boring compared to open trauma procedures. TIS's products are overpriced given the depressed healthcare climate and the wire/stent/sheath/coil market is becoming commodotized. Fighting for lab days with 7 competing reps was also lame. Terumo's culture is a bit arrogant as well. Make sure you enjoy watching a screen ALOT during procedures before considering Terumo.

Well, you're the first person I've ever heard that says they preferred trauma to endovascular, especially considering the momentum and career path of both areas of the industry.

You also complained that it was boring and you didn't like watching a screen a lot.... so you didn't like actually being in cases... you know, doing your job? There are hundreds of docs and types of cases in a particular territory, with a lot of ways to hit the number, some of the most successful people at TIS arent sitting in cases all day long. You seem to not be going about it the right way.

With 80%+ of the salesforce hitting their number last year, you must be the outlier who couldn't figure out how to compete against "7 reps" and selling "overpriced" products. Go back to trauma and make less money on call.

I'm sorry my uninspiring experience at Terumo and in the vascular world has upset you. By the way, I never said that I was with TIS last year...nice assumption. I did leave and it's been a great move.

Your condescending reply seems like a perfect fit for TIS.

Why so much turnover and short tenure at Terumo especially at the Maryland campus? What’s exactly brewing over there now?
