Upper management has changed within the last year and no longer trusts team members to make their own decisions. All decisions are made for us in a “big brother is watching” manner. Anxiety is at an all time high. There is no more work/life balance as members of upper management have no boundaries and call you at all times of the day and night: on vacation, on weekends, on medical leave, on holidays, on your personal cell, at funerals etc. If you plan on spending time with your family, this is not the job for you. Newly implemented micromanaging busy work has you preparing pointless power points, excel spreadsheets, timelines, conference call information, email proofs, text message proofs. Be prepared to prove to upper management the steps you took to get out of bed in the morning. Less time is spent in the field helping customers, while you are at home preparing all the above documentation for the hour long Microsoft teams meeting that follows.
Comp plan declines each year. No longer competitive with other med device companies (55k base) with only 7% commission. Be prepared to spend hours doing in-services for items you don’t get paid on. Reps are working side jobs this year just to remain compensated. Culture is dead! It’s unfortunate so much has changed in a year.
