<p>[QUOTE="STSREPORTS, post: 3656203"]I'm not usually a negative person but my expierence with Lincare has been more and more terrible ever since I started. I've been in sales for 3 years, I wasn't trained what so ever, just thrown out there with demands, theres so much turnover in the office only 1 out of 9 poeple had more than 1 year with the comany, the other guy 4. </p><p><br /></p><p>We had no real direction expect grow bitches or else. We honestly took pride in our jobs and continued to try and grow and meet the crazy demands, we improved alot and for the first year and showed moderate growth, the rest of our area did well too. The secong year our entire area did bad, 15 sales reps and all were way below goals. We held our market share and grew but not close to goal, our area manager went absoltely crazy along with our regional manager and vice president. Threats to reps started happening almost everyday, they were in a constant effort to catch anyone doing anything wrong.... with no intentions of firing, just to torture and torment. Everyone has been on an action plan numerious time and is always on last written warning for fire. </p><p><br /></p><p> The CSR had over 500 patients by herself and constately was baggered and stressed about getting paperwork done, she did her absolte best but was constately nagged and thearthened for 3 years straight, even at times demanded she work 10+ hours a week overtime instead of hiring another employee. The drivers are so busy it's ridiculous and freak out about any overtime even though most orders come through late in the day and have to be set up. Therapist drive way to much for what they get paid and ours was on call 24/7 with no additional pay, got a go out call while at the beach and got written up after missing the first call of a year and a half striaght. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for Sales............. Don't get sucked in as I did my friend. The first year I hit my goal which were outrages, 16%, when the average center only grew 4%. After promising me around 65,000 I made 38,000 that year. The second year I made more like 50,000, my shechdule was constatley scrutinized. Getting expenses back is absoltely outrages, they reject everything and treat you like your trying to cheat the company. They demand at least 3 lunches a week and I was constately owed 2,000 dollars at a time. At one time $3200 bucks , every report is rejected at least once and takes around 4-5 weeks to get your money back, not making your credit card payment dude. If you ever forget to submit a correction they will never tell you, I asked one time if I had submitted an expense report corrections and weather I had been paid out yet, they would not tell me. If you mess up and get a lunch that you can't verify the exact way they want, your not getting paid. I never had any constructive critism or help to improve my sales, I was ignored when I hit the month goal I was bashed every second on low months. After only a year and a half there were only 2 out of 15 reps that had been there longer then me..... and I was desperate to get out. I applied for a transfer to a better regoin and after performing better than almost all other reps was bashed about my lack of success with the company (They knew no other poor sap would possibly take my job for 50,000 a year). </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry so long but that's the real deal, I could go on forever. If it's the only job you can get man.... theres a reason. They were nice at first but runnnnnn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
