this position will all come down to the managers, as it always does. there is a lot of stress for these roles. a good manager will help and be of service.
unfortunately, management in pharmaceuticals today is akin to a porn director.
I was told $80k and uncapped bonus.
THIS!!! ^^^^^ You hit the nail on the head....they definitely have high expectations and a low salary to go along with it. It isn’t realistic to expect award-winning, experienced reps to accept that salary and those benefits. Let’s face it....there will be very little “hybrid” selling going on. This is a launch and you can’t launch a product from your home office. It’s really misleading to say this is a hybrid position. I would only take this job if you need a job....and then continue looking for something better.
Final interviews were last week. The recruiter shared that info with me on our first phone conversation weeks ago. Have you spoken to a recruiter?
Interviewed with these bottom feeders and it was the first time I’ve ever seen someone get annoyed and aggressive when I asked about monthly marketing budget (just one of several RED FLAGS). The growth goals and projected numbers were ridiculously high, maybe these guys were high too, that certainly would explain things. I didn’t bother following up or returning the recruiters calls or emails, this is one of those high stress jobs where no matter what you do it’s not good enough and or quickly forgotten. Similar to selling photo copiers or payroll.
Lol
Nope
Did anyone have more than one interview? Or did you interview with the one manager?[/
yes
Well put! When you take a step back and look at what has become of this industry, with few exceptions, you will see the insanity of it all. If doubting this, work a few years as a rep and re-examine your perspective within 5 years.great analysis here.
these companies are so silly and not worth working for.
Better move is to just find a customer service gig from home or sell real estate/insurance if they are going to have these large territories, micromanagement, and no or little bonus.
Outside sales is becoming a terrible job the past decade with these computers that track your every move as well.
Lucky for them, they will have the younger candidates that under value their time and quality of life and will always take the low pay and over work, for the honor of having a big mortgage or putting their children through over valued colleges.

My first interview with my would be manager went great. He seemed like a person I could happily work for. I made finalist and that interview was a nightmare. Tons of high pressure talk like I was already in trouble and put on a plan. Wtf.
