Don't do it! The product is Gilenya which is actually one of the best MS product BUT leadership treats us like primary care reps and bonus is a measly 30k. Don't know much about ABL or territory. I think it's Sacramento you are referring to
If you do well, the manager will love you. If not, PIP for you. It's one of the biggest volume areas. Good Luck
Not at all. Previous rep did real good. He left on good terms and sent out a nice goodbye email. Very smart mofo that's for sure. Previous poster is right, manager will have your back IF you do well, but slip and watch out as this is a high profile territory. MS is a good place to be but gain experience and leave after 2-3 years for Biogen or Genzyme as pay is better
Like most ABL's here. If you're doing good, he will be nice. If you're stuggling which most of us are, you will be micromanaged like hell. Everyone here is miserable. In this case, the territory could ony go down from here, so you will be blamed. dont do it!
RUN as fast as you can. The division sucks the product is nothing but problems. Most of all the bonus sucks.
If I was an external candidate, I'd ask for a minimum of $120k because the territory is huge. Unless you live in the middle, you will have at least 2-3 overnights a week. (2 1/2 to 3 weeks of the month overnight)
He is a smart guy and probably realized very quickly that Novartis pays low compared to Biogen or Genzyme. Can you blame him? Follow the $.
