I believe there are stock options, base in the low $130s, 40K bonus, unlimited PTO.

Unlimited PTO is smoke & mirrors. Think about it...you get 15 PTO/year plus holidays plus Christmas shutdown. Do you usually take all your PTO annually. Most likely not, so you carry it forward or take pay remaining days end year payout.....both of which are now off the table.

Uh no. Always take all my pto. I’m a top performer but absolutely take all of my time.

It's a FACT Jack!

It will be unlimited until Sage isn’t hitting its annual sales forecast!

you still haven't answered the question...do the reps get company cars or an allowance toward a car?

Think about it??? That’s the dumbest response I’ve heard. You can’t take 15 days per year? Nice life

Can someone explains the stock options? Is it the option to buy the stock at a set price or you actually receive shares that vest at some point?

That would be terrific if it is true. Seems like overkill for a rep population that doesn’t carry samples. Glad to hear it though!

The stock prolly depends on whether or not its restricted. If they give you stock options, you get the shares but most times you aren't vested until youve been with the company 4 years or so.

I'm also interested but in the East coast.
Are these positions still open or have all territories been filled? Lookin at the the non hospital side of things

So I went to the hiring event yesterday in Chicago. I thought it was well run. I was impressed with the folks I interviewed with. Didn't get alot of time, but makes some sense with all of the interviews they have to do. Was told I'd know something by next week. I think they are in Chicago thru tomorrow. Anyway, wondering anyone else's thoughts that was there?

I'm more concerned about managing styles here. How is it? Micromanagers or do they let TBMs do their thing in the territory? Where r the District/Regional Managers coming from? Can't find any profiles on LinkedIn.

Let's face it.. Folks quit due to managers and my manager is OK where I am, so just wondering if it's worth the time. A micromanager just isn't worth another $10-$15k pretax money imo. Been there and not trying to repeat same mistake!

 

[anonymous]

It felt like a total Sh$$ show to me. C’mon Sage, get it together. If the hiring process is anything your management style we are all doomed. Remember managers, we are interviewing you too. I wasn’t impressed. Feels a little too micromanaging to me. Good luck to those that want to move.

Right on.. For me it would be at least $15k possibly more if the bonus I'm reading here is accurate but how long can a start up sustain bonuses that high??

I refuse to work under a micromanager. There's nothing a manager in pharma whether start up or established company can really 'teach' the Tbm. I think reps can learn from their teammates but certainly not the manager. Reginals or DMs don't know territories and the docs like the Tbm.

My regional only comes around every 1-2 months for a day sometimes every 2-3 months. We go over numbers accounts n offices I can improve etc during lunch and I drop him off at the airport an hr or two later. Anything more than this at Sage, I would not even bother.

I thought a few things were a little shady. Why do you think candidates were asked to leave behind two copies of a business plan for the the largest, most impactful account in each territory? If they wanted to see how well reps performed on this task, why didn’t they look at it and hand it back? They are just using the candidates who aren’t chosen to do the homework for these accounts. That’s not cool.

Haha- I think you are totally full of your own perceived high brow crap

Were you at the hiring event? There was nothing shit show about it on my end.

You really think that's why they had us leave the business case with them??? Lol. A big ploy. Ummm don't you think they'll expect the new rep they hire to come up with a plan to call on these accounts?

F that. I would not have left it!!! Damn skippy theyre gonna put every single last one of those business plans to use. Goes to show hiring managers have no idea what they’re doing and instead stealing ideas n business plans!! How tacky!
Why not hand it back to the person who actually created it and pay for the rep’s efforts FIRST! They’ll prob just give it to their friends at former companies and have their friends apply for the job! Awful
