Opportunity in Chicago

I need a serious response here. I currently have a good job with a top pharma/biotech company. I make good money and hold awesome benefits. I was contacted for an opportunity for an aesthetics and correctives position for Chicago and was told it is an amazing opportunity. I was told that commissions would be around $20,000 per quarter. All of this sounds great but the more I am reading about this division the less I like. Could anyone please provide some insight in the culture, realistic pay, manager. situation in Chicago-Why are there openings? Thank you
 




There are openings because the reps left for a better opportunity. Despite what some rah-rah loser on this board tries to tell you, the goals are obscene. They have managed to adjust numbers in 2 of the last 3 quarters after the quarter ended. So that's nice, but hey how about give a reasonable growth goal to begin with.
But here is the most important thing you need to hear....the manager is a nightmare. But other than that its a great job. Go for it.
 












GP is a disaster as a manager. Should have never been put in the role. EB did nothing to help her and NJ may be worse. She's a rep at best. Only at Valeant would she be put in a leadership role with no coaching or development. That situation can't continue for much longer. Most of the team resigned in the past few weeks.

If you read some of the responsible posts listed on this site - you will see that they invested over 1.4 billion to be in aesthetics. They know nothing about the space and they are leaving the Rx business behind. So the parent company Nestle wants their payback on the investment in a 3-5 year time frame. Hence, the unreasonable and unrealistic goals. The adjustments are to keep everyone from running to the exits all at once and the business is and will be a complete cluster you know what for the foreseeable future. Stay away from this one, it has been a mess for over 3 years and despite the deep pockets the management both here and overseas has no idea how to fix it. The good managers have all left starting about 3 years ago and have secured leadership positions at other companies. Not a good future here for you. That is the truth. the front line managers are a bigger mess if you can believe it. Stay away. Or if you are here - get out when and while you still can.
