<p>[QUOTE="anonymous, post: 6021145"]Man it's been a couple years since I've been on here since leaving Arthrex.. seems to be more negative than before. The cut and dry truth is, your Arthrex experience will depend solely on which distributor you work for. I had experienced the good and the bad and can say the discrepancy between the two was uncanny. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, make the most of the opportunity to develop yourself into a marketable rep. I can honestly say, the best and the very worst reps in the industry both represent the blue. If you can master 7 lines of business and limit the cool-aid consumption, you should be a hot commodity once it's time to make the move (assuming you aren't a total douche or Stryker window licker). Just make sure you don't stay too long and pigeon-hole yourself. The products and innovation are great but the corporate arrogance is nauseating. I personally, couldn't attend another meeting where it was an Arthrex ass-kiss extravaganza.. listening to everyone talk about how "lucky" we were to work for Arthrex. It takes a certain type of person to navigate a $5 mil plus territory at Arthrex. That's why you've never seen a competitive rep join Arthrex and last more than a few months. And you can and should be making $250-500k if you are running that territory. Unfortunately, it seems as though they are still pushing the top guys out and making micro territories. If that keeps up, there will be a massive Arthrex backlash with a bunch of noobs trying to run Rtsa, I-balance, SCR, etc.. Because, quite frankly, working 70 hours a week in orthopedic slavery is not worth any less than $350k.. unless you are newer and working your way up.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if you are one of these soft ass kids just graduating college, thinking you should be making 100k to start.. just give up. You won't make it. Get comfy being the "creative editor" of mom's basement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
