Centers run on a skeleton crew. If you are expecting to take vacation and sick time, think again. It is impossible to get organized. Expect to work 50 plus hours a week. Bonuses are tiny! The pay is little compared to the job expectations. Center Managers are required to Make 30 to 40 sales calls per week, while somehow managing the center and conducting 6 sales and center meetings each week. By managing the center I mean returning emails everyday, Internal FDA audits and Quality Control Unit paperwork everyday, employee evals, sales reports for potential business.
Bottom Line, It would be impossible to be in 3 places at once. But it is required. So everyone works an uphill battle that they cannot win. I don't know a single employee that left happy. Everyone felt anxious and aged. Some managers were required to ride with 3 sales reps two days per week and make ten sales calls on there own. Maybe the management thought there were 8 days/working week??? It made me sad every Friday when I would listed to Managers tell all kinds of outrageous lies to make upper-management satisfied.
Also, they work on old and outdated technologies. Computers are old and everyone has to share them. It could take 1/2 hr to pull up email. I always thought Lincare could have spent money improving communication to each employee out in the field. That would have made us a more efficient team. Its impossible to have info locked in your office that you are not allowed to access between the hours of 8 to 5.
