Clinical Science Consultant





Okay,,, I am done now.. I just thought I would give everyone a good laugh.... Laughter helps stress so does sex.... I hope it all works out, seriously.... Work together and have fun.... You will win...
 




What about Florida?
Is the feeling of "This is an experiment and the sales reps aren't going to do anything to help this win" universal?
It seems as though this position is designed to help out the sales reps from a clinical standpoint and do education.

Keep in mind, 40% of Reps & managers lost their jobs, and we all got moved around and shit on last year. Expanding with CSC's only makes people more insecure and bitter. The whole counrty feels this way. These are sales jobs with a different name. Otherwise, CSC's would not be paid a commission. If you don't want to sell, this job is not for you. Also, don't expect Docs to treat you any better or different than a rep.
 




I an RN and have been in pharma sales fpr 10 years and I know that it had a minnimal effect on the doctors. They did appreciate the extensive backround but at the end of the day they just view you as a sales person. I don't feel it will allow you to gain mre access then someone without a medical backround. Good luck to all who get this position. Just goin wth your eyes wide open.
 












I also have a phone interview next week for a csc in the southwest. Ph.D. with clinical experience and strong contacts in the area but no sales experience.
They seem to be posting CSC jobs all over the country.
This thread worries me a little.

without pharma or sales experience (some sort),, you may not get the job. They learned hard lessons by hiring wrong people at the first time..
 




Be careful! Run, run, run away, quickly!!! CSCs will be an idea that will go wrong and you will be out of a job. This company does not know what it is doing with Micardis, etc. Go with your advanced degree and get a better job, not with a company that is struggling at best! Run, Forest, Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 




Pay is good, but you will be a primary care rep and working for the managers who don't know what they are talking about.


RN: 80K-95K/Year, Bonus 29K/year, car & benefit
PharmD to PhD: 90K-110K, all others are same
MD plus additional Degrees like MS or PhD: 110K-120K the most, all others are same

Your associate directors
Amy S: she is not a PhD, nor RN, or NP.. She has MS in some scientific field --> Bi&^CH
Tena W & Susan S: RN but never practiced --> NOT SO SMART
Angelina: ex-Merk exe. no science degree, --> Dumb ASS
John S & Rick: Pharm D. They know stuff.. --> Brains but no balls

Hope this info helped.

Response:
First off - you are completely off base and wrong with regard to the salary ranges and correlation to degrees. The numbers you quoted are too low.
Secondly - to then mention AD names and provide your commentary regarding each one is not smart nor professional - and potentially career limiting. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who is behind this. The CSC group is relatively small and cohesive.
Do you really think that managers and others do not read these threads!!! Further do you really believe that your unanimity is protected!!!
Do yourself a big favor - grow up - if you do not like it - you have choices - as 'you ' all seem to feel - well then why don't you all act on your big mouths and prove it to everyone!

Hello. I have a Pharm D and have completed the interview process. If the posted salary info is incorrect, what can I anticipate if offered?

In BI Translation: What she really meant to you is "I'm coming after you" or "I will catch you if I can" or My emotional IQ is so low,, I get pissed off by anything..

Either way, you proved that BI isn't good place to work.. Good Luck with Boss like that!!!
 




I had a phone interview on Sunday and got an email saying that I was invited to a face to face in Newark next week. I am disappointed that the hiring manager did not call me because I do have some more questions concerning the position. I would like to know what they mean when tey say 30-50% travel. The person doing the phone interview had no info and proved of no benefit to me. Anyone have any insight?

As far as travel, plan on driving within a few hours across your territory. The territories are not very large, at least on the East coast. The biggest territories are on the West coast, but I do not think those are very large either. When you interview, ask to see the map of your territory.

Me too! So far this whole thing is a joke! I may say thanks, but no thanks! I heard they won't answswer any questions until they offer you a job. This is bull. I have more important things to do with my time.
