3-5 year contract....

























Contracts are only an intent to do business. All jobs, both contract or corp. are "at will".
No security anywhere anymore. Corp is moving to contract as it is cheaper. All the displaced reps need jobs. As a DM for contract I pull in 10-12 for interviews. Used to be maybe 2 were good. Now they are all good. Many with Pres club and outstanding numbers.

That is so sad. I have many years of experience and am now paid substantially less here. I once had a career. Now I find myself with Publicis wondering when my contract will end and when they will had me an insulting 2 weeks pay. I have seen it happen to others and they all have bad feelings towards Publicis. But you are right, I find myself here because I need a job.
 






Welcome to Obama's world. It is happening all over. Ask my cousin, the engineer replaced by an engineer from India. The UNaffordable Care Act is headed with break neck speed to becoming a single payor system (Only Bernie Sanders admits to it). When that happens what is your role? If you are on Formulary a drug company doesn't need your services because the Doctor has to write your product. If you are not on Formulary, the Doctor can't write your product. Where do Drug Reps fit in that equation?

That's why I will vote Trump. He cares about employees and not a company's bottom line. Make America Great Again.
 
























Posters above me are correct. Get out of this industry. Why do they need you if you're not on formulary. Every contract company fighting for the same crappy recycled drug that nobody
wants or will pay for. Manager post above is right. Every rep interviewing is qualified.

Industry going nowhere. Downsized so much and so ticked--I went to nursing school. Hard
for everybody to do that-with family, finances, etc. I sucked it up and went.
Couldn't get hired fast enough vs. fired fast enough with these contract companies.
Not a panacea--but I don't have some manager screaming at me that I didn't
cover page 2 of the detail aid-when the manager is a F up themselves.

Look at other options-invest in yourself. Nobody else will--
