Allergan was a great company, I know since I have been here for 8 years, but now in Eye Care (last 5 years), it is run by Pfizer and Novartis rejects, so you will be very miserable here (like most of us), because you are extremely micromanaged plus constantly told that you are disposable at any time regardless of your sales numbers.
The Eye Care RD in the South terminated the seasoned reps that had high base salaries and replaced them with cheap labor.
In Eye Care on the West Coast, you will have to ride with your boss and area trainer every 3 weeks. You need to have your first signature call at 8:30am and your last signature call at 4:30pm. Your clients will be called on the phone and asked to verify that you were there, which pisses them off, and tarnishes your working relationships.
You will have up to 5 counterparts calling on the same doctors. Limigan .03, Alphagan P and Restasis will all have generic competition by next year in 2014, so that leaves 5 reps calling on the same doctors selling two drugs Combigan and Lastacaft which will mean layoffs starting in 2014.
I hope this honest response will help you make a wise decision...RUN!!!
