Definitely not worth it unless you have been unemployed a long period of time. If u take it, keep looking. The managers only care about themselves and will keep you chasing the carrot. The contract could end at the drop of a hat and the manager who interviewed you will be taken care of most likely and you'll be up sh*t creek without a paddle because sales reps are highly disposable.


I am with a big, respected pharma company with a long history of success. We are restructuring & laying off. Guess what? Managers only care about themselves, the job ended at the drop of a hat and I am up that creek. Point is this: no security anywhere in pharma, with few exceptions. Everything you describe applies to the industry not just cso.
 






Does anyone have solid info on the base salary? My recruiter has been so vague? Any received a offer yet? Also what is actual car reimbursement and mileage each month??trying to decide about this position and coming from a sales position it's obviously a loss in IC. Plan so is it worth it????
Salary????
 






Salary????
salary 90s, negotiable. Assumed no bonus but did say poss 20%. Car $600/month, .19 mile gas reimbursement. Was told south as early as tomorrow by recruiter, next week at f2f. Been given half, delayed and misinformation from day one so who knows for sure.territory is large, at beck and call for several reps

True, but the volatility of contract is far worse as you will soon see if you've never worked CSO and yes I've worked for both a big company directly and also have worked for CSO.
 
















































Signed my offer march 4- start date has been pushed back 2x- apparently hingent on outcome of injunction- scheduled for april 1 but very suspicious this contract eill be cancelled. Feel very bad for those who have accepted and given notice in case job goes away!
 












Same here accepted offer first week of March and the start date has been pushed back twice. I am growing increasingly skeptical that this will happen as communication has been extremely sparse. I continue to interview and if April 1st it doesn't happen I'm out!

Me too. Got look out for ourselves and families. They may lose a few people. Too bad, I am looking forward to the work here.
 






Assuming that the contract has been executed and the start date just pushed back- if contract gets cancelled are we all just out of luck or is there severance. The letters I have gotten pushing back start have not included the "contingent on execution of the contract" verbiage like the original offer. This is a mess

We are even on the payroll. What are they going to sever? Nothing.
