I'm a new hire and I'm interested in getting into field management. The people I interviewed with told me about the careers ladder program. What's that like? Do they follow it? 6 trimesters to get to senior rep seems kind of long. Can you get it before then? Do you need management experience to get promoted to manager? Thanks for honest feedback
 






You need a buddy in the company to tell you the scoop. Without a buddy you might have to talk to an HR rep however anything you say to HR can be recorded and communicated to management so just ask informational questions.

Also, are you a real new hire at the company? Many were saying that the new hires were fake postings and that there really were not any new jobs being filled. Are you fake too?
 






The career ladder is a way of dangling the carrot in front of the donkey. It is hardly ever followed and odd "promotions" of Kathy's favorite reps to management positions reeks of favortism. The career ladder just buys management more time to string people along. There is nowhere to go at this company which is why I'm looking for a real opportunity elsewhere.
 
























Not one person in DM roles, Director Roles, or ANY management or promoted position of ANY kind, has been promoted to those positions because of career ladder. Based on the requirements of the career ladder, NONE OF THEM, not one, NONE, were qualified for the promotion. The career ladder should be called a shackle, to keep you pinned to your position so that THEY can promote their friends that they brought in. It is a complete joke, disgraceful, and the reason why the division is failing miserably. The current team is almost entirely unqualified and inexperienced in the therapeutic class of ophthalmics, with the exception of TP and DG.
 






I know people where the "career ladder" was used against them to deny them of a promotion out of their territory. Meanwhile, somebody less qualified with less experience got the promotion. How is that even remotely considered fair?

are you talking about here at B&L? Or do you mean the discrimination etc. lawsuit that named PS and KK when they were at Novartis? I think that one settled for about 200MILLION maybe more.

No, here at B+L. They screwed over many qualified people who wanted a shot at manager positions and were passed over for people with less years experience, less proven success at sales achievement, and less management skill. No wonder why this company never can get ahead- it only promotes based off of the friends-of-Kathy program.
