I love it here. If you have a good manager, you will be fine.

This would not be a good place for a big-pharma person who can only do what he is told.
As long as you are smart, very organized, independent, self motivated, and flexible, you'll like it.
 






Wow!!! Thanks so much!! I haven't worked for big pharma in a very long time. I was worried because all the posts here were so negative. I realize most people on Cafepharma are the ones that are not happy. It's always a little stressful being the reps that come over to the company that did the buying. We have a great culture at Cadence and we don't want to lose that to big pharma. We have heard that Mallinckrodt was big pharma. Thanks for the info!
 






Please, do you think we are stupid? That is someone from corporate asking and answering the questions. A person responds and the original poster miraculously responds 16 minutes later on a Friday night. Hmm.... Say what you want, the company sucks. How many did we lose this week?

This is a very "sick" post that has been artificially created in order to not scare off the current Cadence reps. If the package for the Seasoned Cadence hospital reps isn't attractive, they will simply work with recruiters that have already been calling and just go elsewhere. A good fleet car, 401k match, nice healthcare benefit package isn't too much to ask for and should be the norm in today's competitive environment when needing a highly skilled and independent sales force.
The best thing Mallinckrodt can do is to offer a reasonable package as stated and let the sales force do what it does best and that is to sell. No red tape, no call reporting, no ridiculous load of paperwork. These are the things that have led to the demise of highly skilled veteran sales reps and they just leave. The average Cadence rep has approximately 15 years of highly successful, well documented sales experience. This is not easy to acquire or attract and what is needed to take Mallinckrodt to the next level and have deep hospital penetration. The Cadence reps have been well trained and know the hospital systems in and out and have the much needed relationships and contacts within the hospital community.
If Mallinckrodt provides a poor package as well as incentive program, it will yield a very undesirable outcome. It's that simple.
 






No not from corporate. Just had some idle time last night while my boyfriend got ready to go out. If it sucks here that's all I need to know. Just the truth . We make good money here at Cadence, no BS paper work, we can still entertain our customers etc.... If this company proves to be different culturally then everyone from Cadence will leave. No one wants to go somewhere for less money, micro management, and more work. Plus we have a great marketing department. Looks like Mallinckrodt has no idea how to market a hospital product!! If making 180,000 plus is not a reality say goodbye to the Cadence sales force!! I promise I'm not from corp.
 






See you later because 180,000 with any pharma company this day and age is a pipe dream, Say goodbye to your nice easy cushy job. The way the FDA is not letting you do lunch and learns with the Sunshine Act which applies to every company. I don't understand how Cadence Pharma did not have to obey with the Sunshine Act is just not true. Good luck Cadence Sales Force because you will not see that 180,000 plus ever again. Good Day and good luck with getting that huge salary.

You are clearly a moron and wouldn't ever achieve 180k if it bit you. Top reps make that ALL the time ...even at the big pharma companies like BMS, J&J , Genetench, cel gene etc. how do I know? I have several friends in the industry and that kind of money is expected for a seasoned rep. So shut your whiney ignorant hole as you are completely naive and no idea what an experience rep makes. Cadence like any other pharma company complies Sunshine. Go away little contract rep. Go away. You're a contract rep and nothing more for a reason.

Not to jump in on the argument but I worked at Celgene made presidents club 2 out of 4 years and didn't make more than $130,000
 






Mallinckrodt is an organization with vision and a strategic growth plan for the next 5 years. If you have not been with a growing company and do not adapt to change, this is not a place for you. I am thrilled to be part of an organization that has a focused plan. If you are not this person, you should also seek opportunities elsewhere.

LOL well, that is a funny statement. Either you are a terrible negotiator or just plain terrible. I know 4 reps that work at Celgene. All of their bases are higher than 130k. Makes me guess you are a complete liar.

Or maybe the 4 reps bs you and you are stupid enough to believe it. I got an offer at Celgene about a year ago and the offer was 88k and ended up declining

All that says is you are an unskilled douche lol. Celgene pays bases that high. Do they give that to everyone? Of course not. They offered you 88k (if that is even true) because that's all they thought you were worth!
 






A base of 88k would be for a someone under 5 years experience or someone without documented success. An experienced rep with over 10 yrs experience will have a minimum base of 100k.

I am new in Mallinckrodt (in Argentina), and my read is that Mallinckrodt is in the right way to achieve their focused plan.

Unfortunately, many people does not realize that nothing is for ever. And if you want to keep in the crest of the wave, you need to keep looking for new ideas every day!

Many things to change, It is another culture! It is a new company.

In a changing world, to do the same thing all the time, it is the same to be a step behind your competitors.

It is not a company for persons that just looks for a salary every month.

We need new solutions for old problems.
