Days after the president's club voicemail - the number one Rep in the country at Forest quit. She was told that she would no longer be able to go to Rome, and she told them to shove it. What is wrong with this company that it cant even retain its highest paid Rep?

It just goes to show how underpaid, unrespected and underappreciated the sales reps at Forest are. This company's salesforce is a wasteland of
1) talented people who settled for just a job (soon to leave)
2) lazy people who just want to fly under the radar
3) tenured reps who are too beat down, scared, or too medicore to go to another company

This is the second president's club winner to quit from SoCal in 3 months. The culture is awful. I cant remember the last month we didn't have a Rep quit or get "released " from extended probation.

What is going on at Forest?
 






I was with Forest for a short time after a decade at another ( significantly better run company) pharma company. The company culture at Forest was really bad. Even to this day I have no idea what the managers do besides approving expense reports, check call attainment and sample % averages. They seemed so immature. Their approach is certainly unique in pharma. The good old days of pharma are long gone. There was a day when this industry was a good path. Forest, in my experience, was a crazy house. Partners were fully paranoid, manager was a neurotic nut and upper management acted as if they had all had lobotomies. Fun to talk about now but I am so glad I am not in the Forest sanatorium any longer. This president's club winner did the most sane thing she could do. Even my short time with Forest was way too long. I will always tell anyone who is thinking of working for Forest to run away from Forest as fast as possible.

The managers I knew here were the worst of the worst. A significant portion of the ones I dealt with were below average in intelligence and above average in narcissism.
