do you think the bv will be a company saver in terms of sales dollars? Just wondering as Ventiv rep, I, by the way, think that you(mission) guys got treated poorly. Granted you still have a job, but to do it on a conf. call with all of the Ventiv reps on there as well, thought it could have been handled better. Good luck. Medreps.com is a pretty good job website, you have to pay maybe $20/yr. but has some really good jobs posted.

Ok now, how long have you been in pharma sales? Any drug selling well beyond it's cost of capital is dependent on formula coverage. Formulary is the main driver in this business.

Actually the NDA was filed Aug.18th or so - which means the indication will be a yes, no or need more info by mid- Feb.

of course, but even with great formulary coverage, do you think tindamax will get mission back to where they need/want to be, with only 80-90 reps ? Just wondering if we will ever be mission reps again.

Why in the world would you ever want to be a Mission rep again? Do you realize what went down ? They (Neil) wanted to get rid of all of the reps (fire) back in August but Goby wanted to make sure we had some kind of job. People who have worked for Mission for over 10 years didn't get any special consideration except to lose their vacation time. Please wake up !

My point exactly,if they wanted to get rid of all the reps in August and they wanted to get rid of all the reps in Jan., then why would they decide to keep all reps including Ventiv, why not just keep the original Mission reps like it has been for years? I could care less about being a Mission rep, I didn't lose vac.,etc, but I just don't think "BV" will produce the #'s they it to given there present state, what will they do going forward? I am awake now.
 






Mission is about to be a bye bye for me. This company has the one of the worst I.C plans. Charging reps for samples given out (which comes out your bonus) and other things that comes out your bonus (i.e, parking expenses, fleet car, storage unit, and others). They need to just start all over again. If they were smart they would drop 4 out of the 9 products, save their money, and get better managed care for the products that are working. *Wouldn't that make sense*. Sometimes you need a genius to figure things out (I would assume). Whatever I finally realized why it takes so long to fill certain territories now. (they don't pay).

Then you can't do math - as some one who can there's no way you will make more, not a fucking chance, only a very few territories in the company will pull 120k and they're all medicaid states so not only are all the territories paying for medicaid costs but for their additional 120k in bonus pay. Can you say bend over?

Is this true? You have to pay for samples/storage/parking? I can't imagine a rep having to "pay" to do business with his employer....
 






You have a JOB!! and you work for your salary the bonus is jus that a bone! If you want a bonus, check you last name and it will not match the one paying your salary. Yes you wont make the $$$ that was made years back in the industry but you are smart you are making 3K every 2 months. Kick your self in the ass and go to work be thankfull for what you have and work for what you want to have and manage your business wisely.

You are so right! It just seemed strange to have to include operating expenses in bonus pay out, but now it makes sense. Maybe I will be a better rep, not caterer or a sample dropper.
Thanks for setting me straight.

Ummmm, please tell me that was your lame attempt at humor, if you haven't figured it out by now Mission has shifted ALL THEIR EXPENSES onto the backs of the reps. I believe thats a 1099 employee without the benefit of tax write offs.
Use your brain people, some dumbass manager wrote be happy you have a job , should be Mission should be happy someone is actually willing to work for so little. I'm looking everyone on my team is looking, screw this cheap ass company!
 






Curious...I had a phone screen today for this contract/direct hire, was told I would definetly be moved on to i.v.w/ hiring mgr. Do you work in Pods? I was told I would carry 5 products. Beside the bonus B.S., what is Missions like to work for? Are their goals realistic? What is Inventiv still doing the hiring if this is a "direct hire" ? I have 5 yrs. experience in the industry, and just downsized in July.
