I will be more than happy to do that if you can agree to give proper updates at POA's. This nonsense of waiting to provide important updates till after the POA just because it is a difficult discussion with the field is nothing short of ridiculous. You really expect us to believe you didn't know about this 877-264-2440 nonsense until after the POA. I'm just following the cowardly example you are setting.
We heard about it and got feedback at our POA bc the question was asked. It’s pretty clear the only coward here is the person who doesn’t have the guts to ask “difficult” questions when face to face to with leadership, then criticizes leadership anonymously online.
Also if you think you are trolling and getting satisfaction from getting people riled up, you aren’t. Just making yourself look worse with each post.

what’s with the phone number?
Yet here you sit on your lunch break trying to silence me. There is no way we would know to ask about this at a POA because it wasn't announced until after the POA! My purpose is not to rile people up but to keep management accountable.

Sounds like a you problem, if you had good recent growth #’s or could hold an adult conversation for longer than 2 mins I’m sure you would go further in your so called interviews. I for one hope your luck changes so you can get the hell outta here soon and stop bringing other people down with you. Whiny ass pansies. 1st time poster here too and not management, just tired of you all.
That’s twice what my starting salary was at Supernus! And SK is only selling one drug, if it approves. FML. The recruiters are definitely out in full force, especially those with rescue mabs on the way. I guess I should start replying to their emails. I could use that big of a pay raise.I received my offer from SK almost 2 weeks ago and I can’t wait. It was an intense process but worth it for $120k base. Start date 1/6/20!

I am embarrassed that I still work here. I haven’t been able to make it past the first round of interviews with other companies. SK recruiter told me flat out it was my lack of experience selling epilepsy and I am more qualified for a Primary Care jobs. I am just beyond frustrated. Everything about Supernus is a farce and that includes me. I’m not a specialty rep, I’m a generic XR primary care pill pusher. oh and FYI don’t mention the scripted sales presentations on interviews. It makes us looking even more unqualified. Only primary care uses scripts.
I can’t imagine why they passed up on you with that confidence and positive attitude.
What you also neglect to acknowledge the fact that you wouldn’t even be in the speciality pharma world to begin with without Supernus. SK wants 5+ years selling in epilepsy/Neuro, so if you haven’t been here 5+ years, they are correct. You are not qualified for their specialty sales position and more qualified for primary care.

I do t care what I’m selling, if the pay is better, it’s betterThat does sound great. I would love to see the cafepharma page with all of these reps going to SK. Forget the fact that you couldn’t sell one sodium channel blocker... lets go sell another!
Your comment about never getting better without listening to criticism is valid. Take your own advice. Through the years Rockville has listened and does try its best behind every call made to be fair. Drastically behind forecast? We are behind for the first time in 7 years. We intentionally made a choice to run certain expensive programs longer in the face of competition. Every year is not going to be outrageous with growth and like you said with products that have been around for some time. We have done quite alright as we can see from history. We can all appreciate your bleeding for the company so I hope you take this the right way. These are the times where your true colors will show. Doesn’t matter if you’re behind a computer or at a meeting your blood should always be the same color. Anyone can be happy launching a product and experience the growth expected. It takes a different kind of person to do the same when production isn’t as high. We have to rely on each other in these times and build our culture not put one another down. Find ways to overcome. The price of our drugs are expensive and they are justified as long as the market is demanding of it. Quarterly meetings produce spikes largely due to a renewed energy. Latge pharmaceutical companies have upwards of 2-4 reps covering a single drug so many big pharma reps do not experience the long and arduous sales cycles that we do. They may not need the extra meeting to renew their energy. We sure do work harder and we should be proud of that. Not everyone has an opportunity to build out a company. Be proud of your bleeding and put it to positive use. We have an exciting future but please understand that it will require patience and work.
I like it here. The job is easy, flexible, I’ve made a lot of money and some good friends. My stock options are worthless until the stock goes up another $13 or $14 but the bonus checks keep rollin in! I’m not being negative nor am I going to bury my head in the sand like the person who believes that ‘Supernus will take care of us’ or ‘there’s no world where Supernus discounts it’s culture for any amount of money’. Supernus stock has gone from a high of around $60 to $26. IMO something is wrong. Why? Perhaps it is the less than stellar future that market analysts see in our ADHD pipeline. It may be Trokendi XR was promoted as a weight loss drug to providers for 6 years and then thousands of these high growth targets were removed earlier in 2019. Another factor may be that Supernus has been paying the full retail cost of Trokendi XR for tens of thousands of patients with the Gold Card in an effort to inflate the number of Rx’s that are reported. One of the problems could even be that the sales team was paid a lot of money in bonus for prescriptions that the company itself paid for. What is the solution? Since this is my company, not just one that I work for, it may be in the company’s best interest to find some new sales leaders who are able to recognize that the position the company is in now may be a little deeper than ‘this is just part of the business cycle’.
