This sounds like a bunch of pernix management arguing with a couple of laid off hawthorn reps posing as reps that are still unemployed. I would bet 80% of the stuff posted on here os from reps that were laid off and are stilled pissed off.

The only "losers" are the people who are defending this company. Go get a new job, all of you. I promise you'll be amazed and happier. I am

The only loser is YOU and the whiny punk bitchin and complaining. If you're so happy with your current job, why are you even on Hawthorn/Pernix boards on a weekend?!! Lol! Quit lying knowing you're still on the unemployment line, getting unemployment checks bc no one will hire a non-selling idiot like you who got kicked to the curb by small Pharma! Hahaha!!!

I was in this segment of the pharma biz for several years. I know people in the industry. I have met and done business with executives of your (predecessor and current ) company. Here's the deal: the execs are in this to make themselves rich [period]. There is no motivation to build a good company or long-term value here. Thus, they care nothing about their workforce or the well-being of the individuals they employ. They will churn up and spit out as many reps as they need to hit numbers and keep costs low. Salary cuts, benefit cuts, moving targets on commission plans and a constantly-changing portfolio of products to sell (or not sell...) is the norm. None of that will ever change. If you expect anything different from Pernix, then you will only be disappointed.

Pernix, its predecessor companies and others in this tier of the pharma industry are flirting with the edges of ethical business practices and FDA regulations. The products are almost all me-too formulations marketed as branded products that are less and less likely to find coverage on Medicaid and many commercial formularies. It's particularly scary that Pernix is now a publicly-traded company. So, not only does the company have to keep its nose clean with the FDA, but now it has the SEC to worry about. Note the recent simultaneous departure of the VP of Sales and the CFO. This is always troubling to see executives leaving at the same time -- particularly the CFO. This could signal that there are some questionable practices on the financial side of the house.

Like him or hate him, Cooper Collins is one shrewd SOB. He and a handful of other people have made some good coin off of Pernix and the IPO. You've got a mid-30-year-old loose cannon with a few million in his pocket and the chance to double down. But, the party won't last forever. He's short-term and doesn't give a sh-t about operations, sales force development, employee satisfaction, etc. -- all minor details to him.

All of that being said, you do have a job in the pharma industry -- congratulations. There's something to be said for that. Leverage your experience with Pernix and find your way into a higher tier of the pharma biz or med devices or something. If you've got 6 months or more experience there and you aren't looking for a job, you should start. There is definitely more money to be made, better education, more skilled and decent people to work for and opportunities for promotion and advancement.

Thank You. I'm very close to getting out of here, and it's great to get a little validation to everything I have thought about Pernix.
