Average hospital rep salary?

Quote












If you are a rep that has been downsized, or layed off then the base salary would most likely be the salary that you had from your last employer. You wont get a raise but hopefully you dont lose anything either. Forest knows that they can get you on the cheap bc of all the reps out of work these days. My guess is 70-80k, if you are currently unemployed.

The IC at plan the IC is 24k, although it may be uncapped and push IC towards 40K.
 












The Forest reps who were promoted are at all different salaries depending on the salary they had prior to promotion. Many hospital reps have been here a long time and are well over $125k and even $150k. New hires usually have a flat rate. Many territory reps have 100k plus salaries because of tenure or getting promoted and "stepping down", I'm one of them.

It varies. I know some who are making a base of $70,000 and others that are well in to the six figures. Depends on so many factors.

Well lets put it this way, the 4 others on my team whom I speak with on a daily basis and have worked arm and arm with at our last 2 pharma's all told me their pay bands, NOT ONE of them is above 65K..... I hit mid 70s but I have double the tenure. This is the truth, nobody wants to be here but it sure beats selling copiers or phones like the other 80% in my district.
 












All hospital reps think they are better than everyone. They in fact make less than most other reps. should go back to Hertz or get a real job like selling cars or vacuums. Most overblown representation of a job position of all time.
 






The lower salaries are because many tenured reps were either not chosen to be promoted to hospital or they didn't want to be considered. If a less tenured rep was promoted they only got a modest increase. Many office based specialty and territory reps have higher salaries.
 












2 years of device exp (1099, neuro, cardiothoracic, new products I put through eval and approval)...certified research assistant...what are the odds of getting a serious look for an open hospital rep position without antibiotic exp as preferred on the job posting? I'm smart enough to realize my earnings are inflated due to absorbing all expenses...my 175k = 85-90k in pharma when you consider car, gas, insurance, etc. Considering bc I live in a small, maxed out market and actually enjoy the technical side of pharma due to my clinical research exp. Thoughts?

Hes probably talking about primary care. The lowest paid hospital rep is probably 80k. On the high end is probably about 115k.

Then you clearly do not work at Forest. This cat is shooting it straight. That asshat Hospital rep you know and work with, aint making dick, not at this company. Forest Hospital reps are the bottom of the rung, low brow monkey's who are much more primary care then even specialty. Between Forest's Spec and Hospitals teams you could maybe squeeze out 5% of them who even get an interview at a top primary care pharma. It is what it is....sorry.
