Is turnover average really 2 years at Stryker?

Because Synthes dominates and pays 2x as much

 

what are stryker trauma reps making? 60k base to do around $140k?

 

Thats what a trauma rep makes??? Geez you can make that in pharma working 10-2 each day. Synthes pays way way way more.

 

Seriously tho......work smart, not hard man. Pharma isn’t as sexy as trauma (Or Recon), but this entire industry has been cannibalized. The days of making $200k+ are few and far between. I worked here over a decade ago, but saw the writing on the wall, started a family and realized there are more important things in life. I still do well but work half as much and actually get to see my family. I’m sure some young f*cktards will have some idiotic comments, but the Ortho heydays are long gone fellas.

 

Couldn't agree more. I started at Howmedica and left Stryker a while ago. Things started going downhill in the mid to late 2000's. I was fortunate to have worked in ortho sales during the really really good years...not the same now and never will be.

 

By Gallop, do you mean Gallup?
And by pole, do you mean poll?

This is exactly why the Gallup is important, it weeds out the dumba$$ Planet Fitness types like yourself.

 

Downhill significantly between 2000-2010.

 

Gallup pole weeds out Type "A" from Type "B" people.

 

sss division average reps making $160k before end of year bonus. Lots making over 200-250. why work for trauma with bad hours?

 

Yea but at what cost? If you're single, a loser, no kids, it's the job for you....
