interviewing for a job at Applied

Quit fucking complaining and invest in a plan you want. If Applied didn't have a 401k, you'd cry about that. It doesn't (or does) have a Vanguard fund, you cry about that. Cry whine bitch cry bitch whine cry whine cry bitch bitch bitch. That's all you fucking do. If you don't like the investment plan, find one you do like? You don't like how much money you're making, figure out how to make more. Don't like the company you're at, find one you do like. Why do you pussies expect everything to be handed to you so you don't have to lift a fucking finger. Get off your ass and take some responsibility for yourself for a change.

You're right. If we don't like it, we do need to leave. Couldn't agree more. I would love to have an opportunity to work harder and make more, just like I was promised I could by the Zone Director and recruiter. Show me how that's possible and I'll gladly do it.
I would have to bet that you started at Applied as your first medical device job, right? You sound just like the majority of Zone Directors and most, but not all, District Managers that came up through the ranks at Applied. You have no idea what other companies offer so you think that spouting "work harder, stop whining, get a new job" is how it works.
But know this, there are those of us, and it's more than a few, that have been lied to about compensation, benefits and opportunity. Don't begrudge us our right to complain simply because you have developed a case of Stockholm Syndrome (I'll give you some time to look that one up) and fell line with the bullshit that DG, TS, JD, Said and the rest of the Zone Directors try to feed us.

Ok dumb ass. I bitch bc in the interview they say we have a matching 401k. Most people make assumptions of what that means, no one fathoms that applied's is that bad. Work more? Why we comp out at 103% of sales. That's the best way to demotivate sales people with a capped plan. Sell the shit out of a category one year only to pay back negative reconciliation at a higher rate than you were payed on? Put the Kool Aid down and look at last year's W2. I bet yours is as week as our management and product portfolio.

The Sad thing and probably the most Evil thing about applied medical is they do know. They have the audacity to ask for 3 years of W2s What a joke.

I love how you always key in on the matching 401k. Have you even looked at your 401k statement or do you just go off what some other dumbass is posting on here?

The most important thing to remember is that you as an Applied rep are not respected by the hospitals at all. Everyone knows you are the cheap low ball, only price to go off on, but no real value, innovation or reason to be in the OR. Anyone can walk into a meeting and say they can save a hospital $200,000, but when those lies don't flush out because your products suck, your reps quit cause they arnt making any money and they realize they bring no real value to the customer. It's a tough gig, trying to get the key contacts not to talk behind your back, but great for someone with no med experience.

Have you looked at yours!!!! You call that a match??? $500 ?? That's not a match idiot

Ya, I'm looking at it right now, and it's far more than $500.

But seriously? You're complaining about $500? It's free money. Hell I'd take $500 any day. They don't have to give it to you. There could be nothing. But then you'd complain about that too. Honestly, it doesn't matter what the company does, you'd find something to complain about.

Far more? That's funny. Small as shit isn't it. And it's not free. It's money that the advertise as part of your compensation when we took this job

Yup most people who back applied have zero idea how it's like at other companies because they came from a similar sales background- copier sales, adp, media, etc. delusional people who think device world actually respects them. no quality medical rep would stay here. Hell no. Keep hiring the idiots who don't know any better applied. You'll always be at the bottom. Try hards.

And I say similar in terms of hard work but shitty pay (copiers, etc), no expenses, etc. Only morons work harder and not smarter. Know your worth people. Applied is like sitting with the wannabes and try hards...and not the cool kids.
 


hahahaha! So true! Applied is like the nerds in band and drama back in HS who always wanted to get invited to the parties that the baseball/wrestling/football/basketball jocks had, but never did. And you know if they had a decent piece of ass to tap, one of the jocks would poach that shit faster than a Bugatti going 0-60. what are you butt pirates going to do when the old timers running that place finally retire and you don't have anyone to drive the ship anymore?

I guess when the old timers retire the new breed of leaders will only have one choice: double your salary, give you a fat expense account, provide a company Lexus, only put you up in Waldorf or equivalent hotels, and give you 5 weeks of paid vacation a year.

But then I'm sure you'd find something stupid to complain about.

Stop being so dramatic manager. Why don't you read all these threads and hold yourselves accountable. We said no job is perfect- just stop misleading candidates, truly incentivize hard work, improve your company culture... And the above post ladies and gents is exactly what we mean about their culture. Just negative, always defensive, telling the reps we should be grateful to work here instead of thanking us for hard work and appreciating their sales reps. I've worked for companies whose pay is similar but guess what- they've respected their reps, listened to us, and always appreciated us and acknowledged the hard work we do. That's what separates the men from little boys applied. Stop being the 5 year old brat and step your game up. Then maybe people will stop complaining about your shitty company. No one needs a Lexus or a fat expense account don't be silly. But people do like to be around positivity, encouragement, and integrity. I'd be proud to work for applied if they could for once take accountability. Stop bashing the competition, pointing fingers at everyone else especially the people that work hard on the field ever day, and having in inflated ego for nothing. No company compares themselves to you so get over yourselves you 5 year old child.
