    This company is a real joke. They have it setup for the specialists to compete with the diagnostic reps. Leads to a great synergy and really promotes a cohesive group of co-workers. I found it odd when they said during the interview process that sometime it may be best to lose a sale. wtf kind of company says that. I wish I had followed my guy instinct at that point and jumped ship

    I wonder how much "vacation" and "out of office" time midget-man will be using up over the next few months. Nothing like taking your eye off the ball to step on the financial necks of your own children by suing them and taking them to trial.

    Don’t blame poor GF. He’s a sick man. Porn is a hobby of his but sex addiction is not something to snicker about. He knows nothing about sexual harassment – her-ass-meant nothing to him. He’s a titty man ya know…

    Left or is being forced out? Or just more noise because everyone is sick of him and wants him to go. Far away.

    Is this for real ? How could such a brilliant leader leave or be forced out ? He cares so much about the employees and practices we serve.

    he was forced out at Pfizer so why would this time be different? Another subordinate affair possibly or too many lawsuits.

    GF forced out? Has Little Man syndrome? A pathological liar? His M.O. at PAH? Affairs? Lawsuits? Does Jon A. know? Do tell.

    Firstly, thank you George Fennel, you are a truly gutless leader who has effectively developed a human-centipede like chain of command with zero actual quality to provided to the customers and employees; and a total smokescreen thrown at investors.

    Investment group guy- would be happy to exchange info. You'd be shocked at the more granular details of how this place operates.

    The timeline of seriously unethical behavior I've witnessed since my starting with the company in sales 3 years ago is.... impressive.

    While Idexx has reached a level a disgusting amount leverage over IHD/lab pricing- the "software" end of sales is downright LAUGHABLE. Lies about comp plans to motivate sales. "Only care about sales numbers and not customer experience post-sale" was verbatim manager quote recently. As was "tell them whatever you need to close an account- by the time they realize the any misquoted pricing I plan to have (promoted myself and everyone in dept".

    Zero marketing=zero market demand. Zero incentive for inter/intra department teaming. Zero attempts to boost morale (birthday cake once a month). Regularly lied to about compensation/under compensated each quarter. Zero room for promotion. Fighting between lines of business. Mom and pop veterinarians and employees desperate trying to make quota are the result. I would guess that the inside sales division is about 10% brown-nosers with some form of nepotism and 90% miserable employees who stay on for longer than they should due to false promises and the poor Southern Maine job market.

    I would not be surprised if any financial forecasting shared with investor/fund groups is highly skewed due to sketchy quarterly reporting.

    HR is INVISIBLE and based out of Eau Claire Wisconsin- while sales is based out of HQ in Maine? Find your dedicated HR person and they will work against you with management to sweep anything under rug.

    The P/E ratio has gotten better as earnings have gone up due to what has to be considered price manipulation- and jamming unjustifiable invoice items at business owners who can't even keep their MANY Idexx reps in order.

    I have been a top performer for years now which has required overcoming the most ridiculous tasks. During this time it has become a requirement that you lose all morals to even hit goal (let alone exceed).

    Good salespeople must avoid and/or leave this company.

    Doesn't sound like the "Best Place to Work" top 200 company I have seen touted on LinkedIn ;)

    I interviewed with this company. There was a local rep there. He came off as a used car salesman. He was even eating lunch while talking with food stuck all in his teeth. It was so obvious it was a shity job. No thanks! I'm sure all the bullshit is true.
    It's just seemed really unprofessional!

    Quality products are no longer a priority. George Fennel cuts corners any way he can and the safety of pets and of IDEXX employees does not matter to him at all. His greed and arrogance have no limits.
