Just a thought if you plan to work for On-Call. They must not pay much into the Aetna insurance plan they offer their full time pharm reps since the reps have to pay over $800/month for a family for basic health, dental, and vision!! Other contract companies offer the same for about a little over half. They also short you on the car allowance they promise you. They tell you a certain amount and then will renege on the amount. Over a certain amount of miles they will expect you to eat the depreciation on your car. They wont tell you about the car allowance program until you have accepted the job. Beware.
 






Insurance does seem pricey, but sadly, the industry is heading in that direction I am afraid. At least you have the option of insurance, most of us here are part time with zero benefits. Just a little money on the table till a "better" opportunity comes along.

Any other Premarin flex time folks have managers that are treating us like this is some full time gig where we should care about the performance of the product? All about signatures, just say it.
 






Yes, insurance is going up but the cost is outrageous. They must not pay in any at all! Unfortunately, as soon as I can get another position with better benefits then I'm out of here. Contract work pays less and thats the shits, but when the health benefits are so poor.....that means OnCall clients' are not gonna be happy with the turnover....

As for the Premarin gig, its a sig. thats it.
 






The best thing to do is get another job on top of this that has some sort of benefits and use that for your health. The downside is you are working a lot but in this day and age you gotta do what you gotta do do.

Unfortunately, you need to forget about what you paid in the past for insurance through your employer. The game completely changed at most companies begining this year. I know someone who works full-time and her company just jacked their annual co-pays up to 2,000 for an individual and 4,000 per family and this includes prescription drugs. This will continue as we all gear up for Obama Care.
 






I am also on the P contract. I don't the benefits are that costly. Frankly they are $700/month less than the contract that I just came off of with another CSO. They actually have some very good benefits. You didn't have to sign up for the premium benefits that OnCall offers, they had a less expensive option.
