Arjo Huntleigh

The biggest waste of resources is the Clinical team. These yahoos don't do sh*t all day just waiting on that once a month Rotoprone to get out of the house. In other companies the Clinical teams are trained across the entire product line. I couldn't get mine to even do a bed inservice because the moron didn't know anything about the bed. These folks are the overpaid elite group in Arjo and bring no value. This position needs to be eliminated as I end up doing the Rotoprone anyway. What a joke. I heard one of their managers is sleeping with one of the salesreps. Nice!

 

With the FDA up our skirt there really is no need for clinical anything. I always try and talk customers OUT of ordering Rotoprone because of the labor intensive work and no pay. I'm content with seeing it die. It doesn't really work anyways.

 

Can anyone give any insight to the Clinical Consultant position open in Chicago? I have an upcoming interview.

Anyone else getting their @SS kicked by the Hemo-Force? It used to be an easy win through the GPO but everything is price, price, price!

 

What happened with the FDA?

 

Anyone getting whipped by the Hemo-Force? I have lost two opportunities to this line. Any idea how to sell against it in acute care?

 

This is in corporate's backyard. There is a lot of potential once the new leadership falls into place. Hospitals are looking for outcomes and this is a key selling point in PHD.

 

The beginning of the end…what a joke that they would put this incompetent hack in charge:

The worst company I ever worked for. Ruthless, cheap and poorly run. Stay away. You have been warned.

 

I heard that we are closing 28 service centers. Does anyone know if this is true, and if it is...which ones are closing? I need to know if I have to start looking for a new job. I was told that they are offering the hospitals a "rent to own" scenario, and that is their only option. Who is going to rent to own beds that who knows how long they have been in service and how long they will last? What kind of support are we going to offer them? I am never going to be able to sell this to any of my hospitals that rent from me now. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

 

People look at the big picture here. Arjo purchased Pegasus and with in a handful of years ran it into the ground.
Arjo purchased Huntleigh and guess what ran that into the ground.

Now comes the purchase of KCI and in 2 years they have closed 39 of KCI's Service Centers now you tell me if this is a great place to work or not?

Looks like this company is in business to piss money away for no reason.
