PTO for new hires

Even Forrest has better benes.
1. New Hires with pharma experience - 18 days pto, 3 Free, 10 Federal, NO, I repeat, NO sick days regardless of childcare issues, inclement weather, hurricanes, etc.
2. BI i s open year 'round. No throttle down week of Independence and Xmas. Burn your PTO or work. Oh they are extry nice this year they did give us xmas eve off but not NewYears Eve off. Dicks.
3. Accrual basis of PTO up to set point then NO more added, accrues starting Jan1 with 4 hours every 2 weeks (i,e., on pay period day). Since there are no sick days, if you call in sick on a day with no accrued PTO in the bank then you are terminated as employee. Yes, it's that shitty. FU Fonteyne.
4. You sign away your constitutional right to sue when you work for this German Company. You may not take any grievance to a court of law - only to an "arbitration" setting that they pay and choose. Get this, by signing their clause even you may take racist grievance to a EEOC court however, you agreed to never receive any monetary award from BI if you choose to do so. [It's in the Arb clause - go read it] If you are a fan of signing away your right to sue like you did with your cell phone company then you are gonna love this.

Stay away, only come here unless you have mouths to feed for awhile until something better opens up. Upper management thinks sales is a shithole of people that bring little to no value. Do you really want to work for a company that values you like this?

You're misinformed. According to dept of labor, the annual average for a sales professional with 5 years experience is 28 days. Those 28 days include holidays, vacation AND sick leave. BI's PTO, floating holidays and regular holidays is higher than that. Over 30 by my math.

As far as accrual goes, carry over a few days at the beginning of the year and you will be ok for 1st few months in case of emergency situations.

You have the right to NOT sign arbitration clause. In the end, arbitration clause only hurts greedy lawyers. It saves the company and the employee $.

Suck it Trebek.

Our bene's are not too bad. Could they be better or less expensive, yes. Are they still pretty good, yes.
 




One other thing on PTO ... if you leave the company (for any reason ... quit, fired, layed-off, etc), you will only be paid 50% of your accrued PTO.

Another cost-saving move brought to you by our beloved management team.
 




are the benefits better or worse , same? probably somewhere in the middle...still lot of posts here feel the company is out to get us some how...just pry off those pharma googles and look outside of pharma and all of a sudden this looks like the land of milk and honey...go work for yourself and see what kinda of benefits your willing to pay yourself..

An Arb clause only hurts greedy lawyers? Are you a fucking moron?
 












3 floating holidays and 18 pto days. Consider it like this: 2 weeks of vacation and 11 sick days. Not bad for a new hire and if you come in with an advanced degree or significant experience you earn more time off.
