    Expect to work long hours, 13 hour days are not uncommon. As an APS you will be working directly with patients every day. If stinky wounds or old fat people gross you out, stay away. If you get warm and fuzzy helping others, this is the job for you. Patients love the product and in turn love you.

    You'll make about $60K as an associate with potential to become a Product Specialist after 1 year or 2. Once promoted you'll make $120K - $200K, but you work for every single dime. It's not a cake job that just lets the money roll in like most device jobs. I cannot stress enough that you'll be expected to work hard every single day.

    I am also interviewing for a APS position with Tactile Medical next week. I have passed the assessments and am meeting with the RSM and VP of sales. They are asking me to prepare a 30-60-90 day action plan as well as bring my brag book. Has anyone made it to this step before that would like to offer some feedback as how this step goes and what happens when I crush it? Any and all info appreciated.

    Thanks

    Brag books? 30-60-90 day action plans?

    Don't work for douches that ask for these silly items. It's all corporate busy work bullshit that means nothing. For a 60k starting salary!?! Fuck them....you're better than that!

    Tactile is a company with a lot of growth and a lot of really great people. The product sells itself. As an APS your base salary is 45K and you'll maybe make $60-65 your first year. Like others have said, you WILL be overworked and exhausted. Some product specialists will treat you like their teammate, whereas others will bark orders at you and expect you to do all the work/travel while they sit at home all day. Territories that are already high performing where you'll make the most money as an APS include: Texas, New York, St. Louis, California, Chicago. Hope this helps!

    Insurance coverage for the pumps depends on each individual insurance plan. A commercial insurance plan typically will cover the Flexitouch (commercial insurances are hard to come by considering these are typically patients who are of the working age and have a job, however the patient population with edema and lymphedema is typically the elderly or non working obese population, meaning medicare is typically the primary payer for these patients). If you get my drift, a lot of Tactiles business relies on Medicare reimbursement and yes, medicare has tightened its criteria for getting pumps and yes it will likely affect the business. The severity is TBD since its still early on in the year. The pumps are also sold in the VA medical centers, however even the VA's are making huge budget cuts and not allowing the Flexitouch.

    APS here. Made over $90k last year in a territory not listed here as high performing. True on long hours but enormous growth potential. Hard work pays off if you can stick it out. Rumored they are changing APS commission structure effective April 2016 to mirror that of PS. As an APS, having a PS that treats you as a colleague is important. Most APS are promoted after 1-2 years and the average PS makes around $150k.

    Do not come to work for Tactile unless you are desperate for work. Culture is the worst I've ever experienced. As an associate, you have no voice and are treated with little to no respect depending on your ps/rm. Left recently, and couldn't be more relieved that the nightmare is over. The grass is always greener on the other side of this company.

    Interviewed with this company a while back. Manager was an overly aggressive gay dude. Cut the interview short. Weird deal.

    Yes, only come here if you are unemployed. Recruiters will make this job seem like a no brainier but with the high turnover, they actually make more money recruiting for tactile. It's a total shit show company. I left on my own so I'm not a disgruntled ex employee. I just feel passionately about warning others before making the same mistake I made by joining tactile. Seriously hated my life for the duration of my employment.
