Hospital postings?

What they aren't telling you is there are so many vacancies because this unethical company raised the cost in the hospital by 140% and many accounts have either stopped doing business with them, or switched to a competitor. Run Forrest, Run....

That's not accurate at all. So stop spreading rumors. I'm on the hospital side. Does it suck here? Yes! Is this an unethical company? Yes! Do we all want to quit? Yes! However, very few people have left yet (it's all about timing and most want to wait the year out and focus on job searches in January) and Mallinckrodt has a stupid idea that by adding 40 more positions this will enable a stronger focus on fewer accounts thereby hitting these accounts with excess frequency. This added to the fact they want the office based reps to chime in as well, will only add to the problems. There is a very fine line between regularly working an account and over-working an account. Feel free to survey any physician you know. You will find there won't be a single physician that likes to be called on by more than one representative deeming it unnecessary, confusing, disrespectful, and a general waste of their time. We have learned this over the past decades as the industry practically destroyed itself with "sales pod teams" and such.
Although the sales force has been able to maintain a good amount of the business for now, MALLINCKRODT has ruined their name and reputation with all the hospital systems. They will realize their lack of experience in the hospital system realm soon, especially when they try to launch a new hospital pharmaceutical in the hospital system. Regardless how good the drug may be, it will be a disaster. The pharmacy departments now all hate the name Mallinckrodt and it will be futile to get any kind of support trying to get a new drug on formulary. Big mistake. Huge.

So well said and very truthful. Leadership has no idea what their doing and haven't spent enough time in the hospital sandbox.
 






Well said and smells like ZS is at it again. Why companies continue to hire this so called company baffles me. ZS is the culprit behind increasing reps per territory, decreasing reps per territory, as well as any other ridiculousness such as pharmacy reps to drive branded products. Is Mallinckrodt backasswards yes, does leadership look lost absolutely do they care about employees absolutely not does it pay the bills absolutely. As they say the grass may be greener anywhere else but you still have to cut it.
Remember this is only until July 1st 2015 after which there will be a whole lot of shaking going on.
 






ZS has nothing to do with it at all. They are simply a data and mapping company that spits out alignments and territories based on what the client tells them. If MNK says we want 125 territories, then ZS plugs it into their program and you have 125 territories.

So don't shoot the messenger. ZS doesn't make any recommendations or decisions. That's 100% driven by Mallinckrodt; and specifically Stacy. Keep you focus on who the evil party is in this mess.
 






ZS are the ones who wreck territory lines and send reps to areas previously covered by another rep so that the new rep gets screwed. Everyone has had to leave parts where there deep relationships and opportunity with XXR. ZS is a wrecking ball.

MNK holds ultimate responsibility, and should listen to the field after new lines are drawn. But they never will.
 






You just contradicted yourself and confirmed my point. ZS simply draws the maps based on what Mallinckrodt tells them to do. They could care less about who covered that geography or has relationships. That's not their job.

And your statement that MNK should listen to us in the field makes my point. Mallinckrodt senior management (Stacy) makes the decision not to get field input. She doesn't even consult the RDs or DMs and would never ask us. She has never sold and doesn't have a clue what we do every day. Her ignorance is what screws us.
 


















Considering surgical sales job confuses me with company. Job = calling surgeons and surgery centers. I am Hospital Rep and I gain access to surgeons and centers! Hospitals harder to access every day. Bad decision. Making Hospital Sales even more nightmare.
 






Come on, why don't you just beg for sales force configurations spell out. You worked real hard playing confused and (more accurately) stupid, even found an expansion number buried in this thread...thankfully it's wrong. Try 55 new hospital/ office based positions and 15 new field based hybrids. Oh and we are launching a new product within 12 months. Run with it.
 












Thery are always people who complain, are bitter, or only make negagtive statement. Cafepharma is where they vent. Forget the comments. Yes we have had change - what company isnt chaning these days ? If you can roll with the punches, keep your eye on the ball, are confident in your own capabilities - then, Yes Yes Yes - make money, make a career, be happy - all can be done here.

True for 95% of cafepharma but not for MNK. There is a reason they just increased the referral bonus to 5k from 1k - this place now awful for reps. That's why we are all trying to escape. DMs, Reps, Everyone!!!!
 






Good luck trying to access a hospital with a non-hospital product in your portfolio. There is a saying that those of us who have worked the hospital arena and that is, "if you have been in one hospital, you have been in one hospital. Translation= the four walls of every hospital is different, but what hasn't changed is that you have to have a product the KOL's, Fellows, Chief's of Depts, Purchasing DIR& Pharmacy Director are interested in. Pease tell me again what those "in-patient products are again???
