A Paycheck...flexible schedule....great
the work itself...I hate it
the admin work I hate it more
overall.....I despise the job...no other choices
I would say that probably 95% of us hate this job and hate this industry. But, the money is great. The benefits are great--the car is great.
I'm curious though...how do you say you don't have to do much with these timed computers? I feel totally micromanaged and like I need to be in the field from 8:30 to 5 or so. Does BMS not have timed computers?
The administrative work isn't fun but what could be better than getting paid to go and visit your friends every day?
Amen, and possibly winning a trip to Bermuda in the lottery called Pinnacle!
We're leaches on the system. Taking and giving back virtually nothing. Creators are the ones who have righteous jobs, like engineers or service people like firemen and emt's. Compared to them. We are high paid trash.Good pay and benefits for doing basically nothing - only thing is that it can be boring.

Gotta agree... have to admit I felt kinda guilty during the whole health care reform debate, knowing that we're part of the reason medical costs are so high.
But the money's nice and I drive a nicer car than most of my docs, so I'm not complaining. Oh, and I have health insurance, too.
Truly a lottery and BMS has tried to say these individuals are the finest in the industry. Anyone looked at rankings without these bogus multipliers attached. Everyone knows the true sales leaders,for whatever that statement is worth, would emerge. BMS 'S IC department and leaders are the laughing stock of the industry
Look, if you really feel ashamed for doing what we do and for making the money we do, then quit. This is by no means my dream job but I enjoy calling on my customers. We make a good living and have good benefits and are able to take care of our families and that's what our main job is!
I don't do this job for BMS, I do it so my family is taken care of so my kids can go to college and then themselves lead a good life. If this job gives me the ability to do that then so be it.
I see no reason to feel guilty for doing this job. As was said above, most doctors do want companies developing new meds to take care of their patients and are appreciative when we are able to help with samples.
I love the hypocrisy of people that say they feel guilty but continue to work this job and make the money they do. If you TRULY feel guilty then you wouldn't be doing this job! Look, God knows there are PLENTY of reps out of work that would take your job in a minute so if you really feel this way then leave and give someone a chance that wants to do the job and stop bitching about it and do something!
Pharma is no different than most industries. Most people are unsatisifed in their jobs and feel the grass is greener in another industry. You always have the dreamers on here with the moral compass thinking that they need to stop world hunger for that sense of job worth. For those, I say hello to the the "Peace Corps." For me, I make the most out of the ever changing Pharma industry and enjoy being paid in the top 10% of all Americans while I look outside of my job for my sense of purpose.
If you can do this without it impacting your sense of self worth, more power to you!
