how stressful is your life since you accepted this position?

AMEN!!! Very well said. I used to be bittter about the treatment but now appreciate that I have learned true value in life through the long, unthankful journey and am VERY happy to go back to my more fulfilling career (at way less pay) that I left many years ago for this crap. Yes, it's a sacrifice and an adjustment but money is NOT worth the abuse and have learned it is NOT what brings happiness for sure. I sincerely wish you all the best!

Yes, sellers sell. Duhhh McFly. BUT they can sell a helluva lot better in a supportive NON-asshole/egotistical type environment (and appreciate their company/mgmt alot more) than the environment that "leads by intimidation and fear"...and I can guarantee you that! Sure. Maybe a lot of people DO want the jobs at Medicis. But how long do they want them once they have them? Turnover there is pretty damn high to indicate any other point.

Ya know....many people want a lot of things that aren't necessarily "good" for their mental and physical well-being until they pay the consequences first-hand. There are ALWAYS trade offs, but some tradeoffs cost you a lot more than others. Many find out sooner than later that money is NOT everything in life, and I imagine the Medicis job puts that in the forefront for MANY. However, once the golden handcuffs start, many aren't strong enough or financially equipped enough to make the decision that is best for them. And those that think money is the end-all.....well, they usually learn way too late about those consequences and have regrets...and some don't open up their eyes to those paying the price around them. Then, some are so shallow that they go to their grave never learning what's really impt in life.

Plain and simple, most jobs that pay the high comp want a great deal out of you in return....and you DO trade off part of yourself for that gold under the rainbow. You gotta rank your priorities and if money and prestige is up there, I'm sure Jonah can find you a good place. And if you are tough as nails, then you won't be bothered by the way they mange their "valued employees."

Getting off my soapbox. Enjoy your high paying job. I know I have learned my lesson and will be making the choice to have more life fulfillment than Medicis will ever offer me. No money in the world is worth it to me. I can now say that first-hand.

yep, jonah has tons of time to hang out on cafe pharma. seems that for a single person you should be taking advantage of medicis univ and going to a few electives on analysis and targeting. Sorry to hear you are unhappy because that happens... it has certainly happened to me. Seems like the only choice you have is to leave or find some good support outside of your current circle of influence. If you leave, make sure you are really looking at the company culture and the culture of this industry as a whole. This industry is changing faster and faster and if you cannot "follow the cheese" then you will be left unhappy. Just my 2 cents

news flash- cheese stinks, people are rats and this place sucks!

I think the responses you received were from people that honestly have very little sales skills and appreciates the 10-2 work mentality. That is not the type of company this is, but they do pay for hard work. I do not kill myself and I do extremely well here. Don't listen to the stay at home moms

Stay at home Moms??? Ahhhhhh that is why you fit in so well at Medicis...You're a sexist asshole. PIG! I would love to sell against you and bury your ass...

I am currently in device sales, and cover a very large geography. Currently spending teo-three nughts on the road. Got a call from a recruiter regarding the new injectable you guys are launching early 2009 that will compete w/ Botox. The recruiter mentioned $140-$190,000. Is this accurate? Can anyone give some serious replys on "actual" annual earning potential? A lot of the posters seem pretty bitter. Why is it so bad @ Medicis?

What was the base they mentioned? Car? Bennies?

don't waste your time onthis crazy outfit. Docs say they can;t wait til competition to botox comes out just so they can switch. Just gives them something to bitch about and sound like big balls. Believe you me, most are just getting botox down to a science. they won;t risk patient base by changing to this new stuff overnight like all the overlyeager reps think . grow up. One screw up on the conversion and their ass is on the line. don't count on them moving too fast. Itll come down to intense traiing on botox and then reloxin. not a chance with medicis sorry excuse for a training department. And then, this sales force will actually have to aspeak clinically against a product like botox. Better redesign the crystal pins to have something in your bag you are trained to talk about - cause it ain't science. bone heads

I don't care if they move my desk I told Bill if they move my desk one more time then I am quiting I am going to Quit, and I told Don too. Because they moved my desk four times already this year and I used to be over by the window and I could see the squirls and they were married, but then they switchwed from the Swingline to the Boston stapler but I kept my swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples too for the swingline stapler...

OK MELVIN....

I worked at Medicis not too long ago. They treat their sales reps horribly. I could go into long explanations about why this company stinks but I choose to block out the way in which I was treated. They manage by intimidation and fear. I knew it was time to leave when I had my year end review, I was given a raise, a promotion, company stock and additional vacation time and I was still made to feel like shit. I would stongly recommend passing on this company you will thank me later.

He likes dick too. What is strange is that he is so creepy, unattractive and scary plastic surgery looking (his brow lift and over injected face) it's enough to make small children run in terror. I have no idea why any man or woman would screw this guy. He looks like a harried old queen trying desperately to hold onto his youth minus the lipstick. Yuck

Would a completely anonymous hot line help to remove the fear from current employees wary of retribution?

No because there is so much internal political bs that there is never a balanced investigation and result for unethical behavior- selective enforcement from within and it is horrible. Maybe government does need to step in because in there is no confidence in the internal review process.
 






I like how upper mgmt thinks you need to have a "hunter" mentality when you're selling freakin pimple creams.........lol. Get a grip. This is the biggest joke job in the industry. And I'm not talking about the device industry, like they want you to think. This is bottom of the barrel, last stop to nowheresville pharma.........lol

lol
 






Couldn't have been said better - the WORST and lowest group of people ever! I am ashamed to ever say I worked for this company - thank god I am out with a great company and work for people of integrity : )

Good for you. Was it difficult trying to get credibility during interviews with MRX on your resume?
 






All companies in derm KNOW how disfunctional MRX is and won't fault you if you were not there long and have good relationships. I opted outta derm, its a mess with people jumping companies unless they get on with Gald. or All who are real forces in derm. People outside derm have no clue who the hell they are : ) In this case I'm glad I didn't fit with this sick culture and hope you get out soon - ALL regionals and up are sick egotistical asses and LIE about everything!!!
 






Hmmm . . . Another quarter and the PIPs go out - Is everyone in this company on one of these? Are you kidding me - if your ranking drops you can be fired? Why even comp anyone below 100% of your crappy, off the wall goals! Who comes up with this crap and who knows what the heck besides ourselves we will be selling next quarter. Get me out of here!!!
