Just interviewing for territory and found out it’s 100% commission. Is this normal at Hologic? What is an average, realistic take-home? No car but is fuel
Paid? Culture? Potential? Territory seems huge. Thanks

Culture is horrible to be blunt. This is the new Stryker. No effort is spent empowering the reps, all effort is directed towards squeezing every fucking penny out if each territory and rep. If you're selling capital you'll be forced by your micromanager to sell software licenses that the customer won't ever need. If you sell anything disposable you'll be forced to call customers and beg for an order at the end of each quarter.

Fuel reimbursement totally sucks a fat one- you have to log your miles in an app that only pays you per mile based on the APPS calculations. So if you take a detour that's longer the app defaults to the shortest route. The fixed part of the reimbursement is low relative to other companies as well.

Take home is realistically around $175K- also important to find out what kind of financial shape your territory hospitals are in because many in non-metro geographies are really suffering right now and aren't able to buy new capital.
 


its 100% commission because this is a HORRIBLE time to be selling capital to hospitals- especially imaging equipment which can be used well past the "expected" lifespan. hologic is losing their shirts and not even getting close to 50% of the number, hence the cut to straight commission. enter this battlefield with extreme caution

this is actually pretty close to the truth. the reason the job is 100% commission is because selling this type of capital right now is a fool's errand. hospitals will just keep their old equipment in service for a few extra years instead of buying new- there is no giant leap forward in the new technology so nothing there to justify the expense. ever seen a 15 year old ultrasound in a hospital? I have, many many many times. They use this stuff till the wheels fall off.

This is some Mrs Cleo level shit, except TM’s have no chance, and the AE’s are walking a tightrope. We have totally run out of covid rebound money, and deals from 2024-25+ have already been brought in. Unfortunately these booked deals are not for the next gen gantry so cancellations are coming and we are going to have to eat shit rebooking. Meanwhile our quota is going to get jacked up again next year. We can’t keep counting on an inflated service number from old Selenia’s limping along to bridge this quota gap. Leadership is a complete clown show.
