Reasons NOT to interview or accept a position with Mallinckrodt:
1. They have a solid history of laying off people and recently laid off over 100 a month ago
2. They made these same reps purchase cars just a month or two before they knew they were letting them go.
3. Your hiring manager probably has no management experience. They are backfilling these positions with unqualified candidates
4. Mallinckrodt tripled the price of the product you will be selling so you will be treated poorly with backlash from physicians, pharmacy, and other healthcare providers
5. Upper management does not care about you. Mallinckrodt has the lowest employee job satisfaction rating in the entire industry.
6. Mallinckrodt has never had a hospital sales force before and they don't know how to treat their employees well.
7. You don't have a protected territory at all. So if you do manage to grow your business be prepared for them to take it away at any moment.
8. Their bonus program is a complete fabrication. Don't believe anything they tell you.
9. The leaders heading this organization are a bunch of egocentric bastards that are only out for themselves.
10. Research the company. They are claim to be based in "Dublin, Ireland". You will figure out on your own why they do this.
11. If your thoughts are about growing with this company, think again. Do you really want to live in St. Louis?
12. The car reimbursement program stinks and you will be lucky to break even.
13. The insurance really stinks and is expensive.
14. The company paid holidays are one of the smallest in the industry. They don't like it here when you take time off.
15. The meetings are poorly done. Cheap food. Cheap accommodations.
16. The company if full of backstabbing so you will be keeping a whole lot of enemies close.
17. Trust no one, especially your manager.
18. Your current product's business is decreasing in sales. We are expecting another price increase in another attempt for Mallinckrodt to full the outside world that they are profitable
19. Do yourself a favor and call each of your phar,any departments and ask them their thoughts about the drug. Very enlightening.
20. You have to take their phone and conduct all calls and emails on it or your phone will be ceased and audited.
21. Most of the managers (unless they are brand new unqualified hiree's) are looking for new jobs
22. At least 85% of the sales force are looking for new jobs
23. Our VP of sales quit last year because this is a dead end job
24. The new VP of sales is a complete "yes" man
25. The marketing department stinks. They never take initiative and actually create things that are useful.
26. The national KOL's are greedy to the point of embarrassment
27. The new products they are looking at really stink
28. If you have an option, keep it to yourself as it will come back and bite you in the ass
29. You will be miserable everyday. The company is now labelled as one of the $ greediest $ and money grubbing companies in the industry. The bad thing is that reputation will rub on you. So if you have good relationships now and a reputation of integrity, it's worth staying on unemployment and finding a better opportunity.
30. Most advancement here has nothing to do with skills or accomplishment. It's who you know.
31. Computer/tech support is worst in the industry. Outside of normal business hours you can pretty much forget it.
32. Your computer is really antiquated.
33. The meetings are horrible. Look to do team building activities that are nothing but frustrating
