"Don't be SOLD on the benefits of working for ZOLL"
What do you like about working at ZOLL Medical?
"Zoll has by far and away the best product line on the market in this industry. A lot of my peers were great people and very helpful."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Be ultra aggressive in your style and closing of the interview. Realize that this is strictly a step in your sales career (unless you can get a position with Lifecor or the EMS division.) There are tons of better jobs out there than this one."
What don't you like about working at ZOLL Medical?
"Pressure on reps. Pressure on customers to the point of aggravation. Changing deals. Completely arbitrary pricing. Lack of incentives. Treating every territory like it has the same potential. No vacation. Screw their reps every chance they can get. They sell the job as having HUGE potential, an expectation of an income in the 150K range, and as a great, happy family. There is so much hidden here that it's SCARY. Zoll does not put your 401K match in until the end of the year so that if anything happens, they keep it. Zoll pays you a ridiculously small commission level until you reach HUGE numbers and jack up your quota year after year so that, again, if anything happens (like a bad economy where they let go 25% of the salesforce) they can KEEP THEIR MONEY. FInally, the 401K is full of 5% commission-paying funds!!! In the end, they also screw you on your commissions by waiting to ship until after the final date to avoid paying as much as they can. I actually benefitted from this in the beginning, but have watched 8 or 9 people have their careers and/or lives ruined from this process."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Stop pressuring your employees so much. Don't lie to us and tell us that we are ZOLL. Change the compensation system so that everyone has a chance to make money. I shouldn't make less money here than I did as a pharmaceutical rep. Stop lying to prospective employees. If a territory has no potential, a prospective employee needs to know that BEFORE they change jobs, relocate, and then take a pay cut."
