BSN Medical

Any opinions on BSN, I heard they use 1099's along with their reps?

 

Yes there are some 1099 reps left, not many. Turnover in the sales force is high. If you want to work really hard to make minimal or no commission, have 100 different priorities at the same time, 7 different commission plans in less than 5 years, and zero respect for your QOL, then this might be the company for you.

 

BSN will use you and abuse you, then trow you off to the side, most of their products are crap!!!!!!!

 

So far so good over here. Crap products - Not sure what this guy is talking about.
They are an industry leader in most of their categories.

 

Company is a joke... products are me too, and reimbursement is going away.

 

steer clear of this place. many people have left (and pssst more than a few are looking now) and the company prez in US is a clown!

 

Can you be a little more specific? I am in the final stages of interviewing with them for a position in New York, and I want to make sure I'm making the best decision for me and my family. According to the manager, there's been a mass exodus recently & all her territories have recently been vacated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Is anybody familiar with BSNs policy regarding giving away a free
cast saw if a customer purchases a small amount of there
cutimed offloaders. Isn't this a violation of anti kickback laws.

 

They can provide its use for free over a period of time based upon usage. However, the customer can't take ownership of it. If they is, that would be inducement.

 

Or, if they show a cost on the invoice for the other items and the saw.. What some companies will do is reduce the cost of the items to cover cost of the "free", but they would need to show a fair mkt cost for the saw..

 

Us there a single happy sales rep at this company?

 

Can anyone provide an update on BSN since the latest changes. I am interested in learning more about the culture of the company, new leadership, earning potential, and any other pertinent information. Would you recommend this company?

 

They totally Cleaned house with Senior team in US and Germany. Company is now on right track, hiring lots of people from KCI, Convatec, etc. Hitting goals for the first time in a long time. I think it will be a company to watch and I am placing a lot of people there.

 

Some more info on BSN would be helpful. Background check? Drug test? Overall culture?

 

There is NO FUTURE IN DME for any company. I don't know why you would even consider it. Maybe you are that desperate to break into the market? I would pass and whatever they tell you the comp plan is... cut it in half.

 

Current employee here.

This place will be the death of me.

I am desperately trying to find another job. Coming to bsn was one of the worst decisions I've ever made. From micro managing to mindless endless tasks, 13 hour days, zero sales support, and ever increasing quotas , with ever changing commission structures , and a joke for upper management - this place is the worst.

Stay away
