Applied Cardiac Systems Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I had worked for ACS for a far amount of time and left the company because of a better job and better opportunity with one of its better competitors. The time I was there every one was friendly and got along really well until they came out with their new Mobile cardiac telemetry product and put people in place who have no idea in managing people nor put the best interests of the technicians or department first, but rather making sure life is extremely well for the lab supervisor who hired her husband who is a bartender that has no medical experience or national license watch cardiac patients , a lab manager who puts his own unwanted sexual facilities on his own new hires, and existing employees. A management team that hires bartenders and personal that have not CCI certification and to top it off everyone is paid differently and all employees are 1099-contract workers meaning you pay more in taxes at the end of the year . Sneaky trick because if you hurt yourself or if something happens to you, you have no workers comp, no disability insurance no medical insurance and, no vacation/PTO, no raises to be expected for hard work, and if you loose your job due to layoffs or termination you are entitled to no unemployment benefits. Lots of jealousy and backstabbing are in this company because no one wants to get fired and everyone wants to make sure they are getting their slice of the pie at someones expense.Please head my warning . To say the least this company is very obsolete they have a system that is 25 years old and it gives no real data because half the time their signal is down and you get no real quality of data . The device is the size of brick and they have constant battery issues and the program has so many bugs and flaws that devices such as the zio patch or my-patch will eventually make ACS become out of business and a bad memory."

"Very objective."

What do you like about working at Applied Cardiac Systems?

"I learned a lot about heart related problems and how to sell to Doctors."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't tell them you're black and don't allow yourself to be intimidated by the awkward interview process they have. It was the strangest set of interviews I've ever been involved with. It was a lot of mind games and then a final interview where the CEO treats you badly. It was a stange and exhausting experience."

What don't you like about working at Applied Cardiac Systems?

"The territory was huge and the management team were made up of people that had family ties to one another. Those who weren't related, were so closely tied to upper management that it was really an unhealthy environment working environment. I would not recommend this company. In addition they DO NOT hire African Americans. I felt like the company was made up of Frat boys rather than business professionals. It was a very eye-opening experience."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Hire people that are not related to you to run the Sales Teams. Also, you are better served by people who can not only carry out tasks, but the strength to disagree with the CEO in areas that will help the company. Leading by fear, is not real leadership and that is the way CEO runs the business."
