West Coast is Dying

Wow, is it really that bad? I’m not desperate but it’s being pitched to me as a step up in pay. Is $200k feasible? I’d rather make less money and have a good quality of life then have to deal with all the bs and negative culture. Thanks for the insight.
 






200k is definitely not reasonable. The comp plan for Wound Reconstruction is terrible. The hardest part about working for Integra WR is the insane pricing of the products. It’s a great product, but competitors are nipping at our heels because accounts are getting really tired of Integra’s exorbitant cost. A lot of reps are losing business because of price. If you enjoy being backstabbed, micromanaged and constantly reminded that you are replaceable, then welcome to the team. This is not bitching and moaning, this is the current state of the division. That lateral move was for sure to get out of this hell hole.

I will agree that the price of the product is outrageous and they are losing business because of it. If every product sold in the OR took price increases like Integra our whole health care system would be insolvent before you could say yikes. They have raised prices double digits most years. 9% last year. Thats unheard of. While other companies are out there trying to partner with hospitals to take cost out of the system they are trying to capture more price. Who is steering the bus? Wake up people!
 






Don’t do it!!!!!! Company is in panic mode. Asking reps for POs everyday. What company asks reps to take time out if their day and get every PO in before close of the month? Isn’t it apparent you don’t get paid unless you make your number?

Every single one does, why don’t you stop your crying and do your job!!!
 






Things will never change at the evil empire. This place is a complete shit show and horrible culture. Managers are clueless and sit at home cracking the whip while reps run around chasing PO’s and quarter end stocking orders while they update spreadsheets for CB. You calling up or calling down?! What a joke. Keep dripping water the last 5 years about some amazing strategy to keep the salesforce motivated but nothing ever happens or changes. My guess is there’s nothing behind the curtain other than smoke and mirrors and a lot of updated resumes. Maybe we’ll make another amazing acquisition for another amniotic or some pyrocarbon crap. TEI was a joke and waste of money. See where that got us. So many competitors out there with products that work just as good and half the price and you can’t buy up all the competition. Sorry to bitch but the Future looks bleak. First sniff at something better and deuces, I’m out.
 






Let’s just keep pressing forward. It’s noted that CB is a joke of a VP. We do need better. Toni Som1handmeOH can’t be trusted. Believe that. His mouth ran himself to where he is. Happy Labor Day Tony. You can always rep in Tucson
 






Dang tony is getting lit up. Maybe there’s a reason after all why his entire 15 man team has turned over in the past 2 years. I bet you’re regretting moving into management now... trashed your Tucson territory for the successor and is trashing the s/w region for the next manager in line. Pattern here?
 




































Hahaha! Struck a nerve with the T-man. Tony I think you should look up the daily run rate for the time you waste checking cafe pharma vs. literally spending 0 minutes in the field being impactful. Would be very insightful of how successful you are growing the number.
 












Name this person: you win pres club by collecting burn po’s and talk about spending your work days getting massages then the burn docs move away and you beg CB for a promotion so you can avoid your fate
 


















There’s thousands of total ankles being done. Not.
Let’s train some podiatrist or am ortho that does 1-2 a year maybe. Hey doc will you use ours next. They should make it a law to just get an ankle fusion. At least you won’t lose your leg. Synthesis and Stryker are out of foot and ankle. Why are we still in it with dog shit products and 4th rate Stryker flunkees
