Amgen contract- field access specialist

[anonymous]

How does the contract work? Are Inventiv benefits and car options the same as Amgen?

What about training? Do you go to training at Inventiv or Amgen?

training by Amgen. Inventiv car.

Field access rep? What is this? Treats for the office to convince them to allow the rep some face time....

Great career!

Is this a contract or permanent position? Any idea of what the pay is?

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!

Why?

I'd rather help get the meds to the patient than doughnuts to the nurses! Sign me up!

Why?

I received my initial offer at 124k, I countered and was able to get 130. I'm happy and ready to get going. Certainly not ideal but better than where I was.

Ha! You wish! Nobody over here is making $130. Nice try though

What kind of car are we getting?

 

[anonymous]

A Chevy Malibu, which isn't too bad for this temporary gig. The salary is decent too. Biggest issue: no coverage for drug. This isn't our problem. All you have to do is train the office on how to complete a PA to get it covered, and soon specialty pharmacy case managers and reps will take this over. Good gig, but won't last long.

 

[anonymous]

how long do you think it'll last? Any chance for hire into a different position after this ends?

 

[anonymous]

I was told that it is a 3 to 5 year contract. I would lean more towards the 3 year mark.

Thank you

Do not believe anything Inventiv tells you, I will never work for them again. I have them recorded lying.

 

[anonymous]

You sound surprised?

I would not bank on this position. With Tilton gone, and them bringing in a few new people, there is talk of change on the horizon. Using site coordinators and specialty pharmacy case managers and axing us in the next year.Rumor has it they are beginning to look at more clinical people for our role for new hires. Supposedly, they will have a greater impact , more likely to understand and pull necessary info from the chart, and more in it for the patients, and ultimately lead to more approvals. I think it is BS and you can't get approvals when coverage sucks.

40 new hires that they only plan on keeping for a year?

Clinical people will do nothing with coverage exclusions or requirements to fail on the competitors product.
