So:

1. We have quarterly “updates” on drugs most of us have been selling for 4+ years,
2. We have to pretend to be excited about them or face the Corporate wrath,
3. We are forced to sit through two days of mind-numbing presentations and forced enthusiasm from 7:45-5pm,
4. We then get a 30-minute “break” to go change out of work clothes, call loved ones, and then hurry back down to the lobby for a 30-minute bus ride to an activity that the boys will enjoy while the girls are left to decide between chicken tenders or nachos as their dinner.
5. Oh - I almost forgot the best part - we then get to go “home” to our hotel room that we share with another 30+ year old professional.

Oh joy!!

(FYI for you still new to the industry.....just ask any other rep you meet. In any office. Ever. This is not the norm.)

Activities suck for the dudes too and don’t get me started on the roommate debacle
 






Yeah I have never had to share a room before at a sales meeting. The company I worked at before this was not very big but we never had to share rooms. Really awesome when your roommate takes a dump four times a day.

They could probably spend less on decorations and give us our own rooms. I wonder what their budget is for each meeting. Has to be mire than my lunch budget.
 






Also left a higher paying position for the “more professional and challenging” opportunity I was told is here. Now, every three months, get to spend two days in a meeting room decorated like my eight year old’s birthday party, role playing over and over and over the same. exact. studies. Then get to have a sleepover with another 35 year old. And after that I get to look forward to ride alongs where my boss tells me exactly what to say to my offices word for word! Access gets ruined because it’s so phony, and in the car pretends to be my friend and ally but then can’t even take a work related phone call in front of me! Awesome! Professional sales representative!!
 






Wow. You all sound like a bunch of entitled little brats. If you don’t understand the opportunity you have at Supernus, then you really would be better off going back wherever you were. You don’t even have to work that hard to make over $100k a year. You get great benefits, a free car, a ride along once a quarter, and you’re complaining about having to share a room? Get over yourselves.

Oh. And there are many ways to earn your own room (PC, RD, rep level promotion), but unfortunately, it’s based on performance. But if you’re on this site, that probably means it is out of your reach anyway.

Imagine being the guy that has to take a dump with his roommate listening. The dumpers hate it too

I just heard about this thread and wow! I’ve spent the last hour like wtf rds?!

If Supernus is killing it like they say, why can’t they afford the rooms? Very few people get their own rooms, so your smack talk ticks off most of your work force. And most rds are with their reps twice a month or more. I WISH it was once a quarter. I didn’t even know anybody did that. I can’t speak for anybody else but my misery lies in my rds attitude with his whole team. We hate him, collectively

And also, don’t know about anybody else on here but I’m working on it. Interviews scheduled. Say a little prayer for me bro

Are we changing policy to one ride along per quarter!!!!! Thank goodness!!! My RD has been riding with me 3 days every 4 weeks since I've been here.
 






haha I was about to say the same thing. Once a quarter would be amazing. At least once a month if not more. And never leaves a second before 5pm.

Maybe they meant once a quarter for a two day? But I think I have mire than that too

Your rd leaves at 5?? Mine is never gone before 5:30 if that. The sit downs are after 5 and excessive. I’ve been shamed that I’m not dedicated enough because I wanted to make my daughters game at 6

I wasn’t told about the room situation until after ist. That would have been a deal breaker. And it’s not like you can go back to your old job once you quit

Typical nasty comments. You hear spoiled, entitled brats. I hear a lot of people who were sold a bill of goods that they would like to see delivered. the company is collecting on our hard work and repeatedly has reported on how well the company is financially. the ENTIRE sales force not being rewarded & we ALL want to eat. Nobody came here for a hand out, however, the playing field is not level. The reps in the ENTITLED states are treated and compensated like royalty. The rest of us have to claw and fight to break even and it has nothing to do with our abilities. On top of our disadvantages that are “out of everyone’s control”, we have managers who tear us down, don’t back us up and create major distractions. The company is moving backward & culture is not what it used to be. When we were all hired they sold us on this being a start up company so many of us accepted the penny pinching, for example sharing a room, eating cheap meals ect. But, when your VP of Sales comes in repeatedly reporting how great the company is doing, something is wrong when that wealth is not being shared among those who are putting their blood sweat & tears into generating the revenue.

When a company is as profitable as ours claims to be, it is not an entitlement or bratty to want your own room and privacy to talk to your family at the end of the day or quiet time to just unwind after being with colleagues literally all day. I know people who work for non-profit organizations who run on very lean resources who afford the assets aka people to have their own room.

It’s time for Supernus to grow their culture up. Many people are blowing off steam on here and aren’t packaging it up in a box with a bow on top. I believe most of us are actually loyal, hard working people who are disappointed in what the company has become or possibly what it has not become despite all of the “upward trajectory”.
