I think most top reps get a 4-5% merit increase every year without hopping companies. Is a top performing rep going to leave a good job for a 5% bump, especially when the product doesn't have FDA approval yet? Doubtful, unless they hate their job/mngr/company. Annual target bonus at my current company is more than $35K. 5 weeks vacation is not what GNE is offering new hires; 18 days is what they are offering, which is also less than what my current company provides. GNE retirement plan is good but not as good as at my current company. They aren't a slam drunk like they think they are. Best thing they have to offer that I've never heard about from another pharma company is 6 week sabatical after 6 years ~ and what sounds like is going to be a blockbuster drug. However, they shouldn't think they're going to steal top talent from other companies without offering more than a 5% bump. The first question that was asked of candidates was how much they needed to leave their current jobs. If they didn't intend to offer something in the ballpark of that figure, they shouldn't have wasted ppl's time.
