I am an unemployed rep with 7 years experience and I am in need of employment. I just interviewed with the Regional Manager on the AZ contract. If offered the position, who is the Health Insurance provider for Publicis and what is the training like for the DS4 positions. Are all tests done at home and what is classroom training like? In all previous pharma jobs I've had classroom training was 3-5 weeks but this is 4 days? What is it like.

Unlike the asshat in post 2, I will help you out. I actually appreciate when people sincerely answer questions on here.

From what I remember, it was 2ish weeks home study, and then to headquarters for your certification. Home study was just basic home study, including the tests. Then again, I was hired in with a very large group, so it could be very different. The worst part was certification, because they pressure you so much with all the cameras and "we're watching you" bs. The health insurance is BCBS, and I think it's pretty good. Especially for a contract gig. Good luck buddy. I know you need a job, but it sucks that it's so crowded and micromanaged. I hope you have good counterparts. That will certainly make a big difference if they're good people.

Thank you Post #3 for the mature and helpful response I appreciate your information.

We all know there are some immature and ignorant people with too much time on their hands and since they're such cowards who can post anonymously unfortunately assholes like post 2 will submit such replies.

You're a fucking idiot! Do something else with your time!

To the OP, here's some feedback..
All tests are done at home as well as classroom training. You do online live webinars, participation etc then you go on AZ site and they'll test you there on detailing etc. It's not bad at all if you stay on top of things. I worked with a handful of big pharma over the years and you don't really need 3-5 weeks of training, because reps are highly limited in what they can detail anyway. Most of that 3-5 weeks is a waste IMO. You can really knock it out in a week or so. Publicis is a decent company. We may get lesser pay than the direct hires, but when you consider all the extra shit you gotta do as a direct hire (for 15k or so a year more which isn't alot after taxes), you would probably enjoy Publicis a whole lot more. You're not required to do speaker programs and turn in weekly pre call plan bullcrap. Let the direct hires do all the work, you'll be glad you don't have a direct manager on your ass every single day. Good luck!

Training at home for about 2 weeks. Webinars, role play thru Skype type website. Certification at AZ. They want to see if you improve over the days at training.

We had some ppl sent home in our training who just didn't improve.

Its not tough.

Good luck!
 












What about part time positions? Looking to apply for one in my area. Does anyone know what part time actually is there? 2 days or 3 days? How many sales forces do you have? Thank you for any help!
 












I'm applying for a regional director position. Does anyone know how you would sell to export a report into a an Excel file? Also, I need to do a business presentation. Any great pointers for how to put together a Power Point? I'm planning to "knock 'em dead".


-Thanks
