Sincavage Sucks

Is Kim Sincavage still a Manager or has she been fired yet? When I worked for her, she was in the middle of an ongoing HR investigation. She was hired with no prior pharma experience and probably drank a pitcher a day of the company kool-aid. It amazed me that she got paid twice as much as me and did half the work. She had 8 reps leave her in one year. You don't quit your company, you quit your boss.
 


















on pip and want to do stdisaility

Novartis is one of the most unethical,immoral companies I have ever confronted in all my carreer. This includes non-pharmaceutical. They lie, pay off and do anything they can to promote their less than effective products. Pharma means nothing to them.They are all young,inexperienced representatives that unfortunately shape the misconception of our industry.Best quote ever by a doc" Lescol XL, a little better than diet".Keep up the good work Novartis. Bottom of the barrel is quite a compliment.

You are exactly right! Novartis has no ethics, has no consideration of their employees and are only interested in making money. Anyone wanting to work for them should consider and ask if that territory is doing well and if they have any of their drugs on formularys that are important to that territory. Years ago I worked for them and a rep that won the presidents award one year with being on an important formulary fell off due to Novartis not keeping up with what was quoted as being on radar for formularys. That rep the next year had numbers falling and had to go on a improvement plan or get fired. So here a great rep left the company before they were able to harrash him to leave or fire him for having a poor performance. They suck at what they do to good people. Never work for this company if you have a family or are looking for a long term funture-it will not happen here.

Let them watch. There are many of us who don't care if they are watching.In fact we want them to see it. As to whether or not they will break their "silence" over someones comment(s) it is up to them bastards. Once they do it we'll know. Personally I doubt it.
Those who care should be careful and do not use your co computer.
 












I see how everyone is saying that NOVARTIS sucks...okay...then why don't u tell me what's good? I spoke to a few people on the field, their companies are either laying off bottom 20% or they are making 1k every 4 months for bonus with 45k start. I believe Novartis is a little bit more generous. I'm just curious of what you guys consider a good pharma company these days???

BigPharma (BP) including Novartis is still good and better than many other industries but also much worse that many others. However, those of us who worked here for many years starting 20-35 years ago remeber how wonderful it was here to work. Things have gone south abour 15-20 yeas ago when the traditional ethical pharma industry (which was wonderful) decided to evolve into BP and thus join all other businesses in every aspect of doing business. That included high pressure selling and extremely high returns and huge sales volumes to mention few. Also BP introduced a large scale use of misconduct (illegal stuff) on top of the legal activity for the purpose of enhancing their business beyond what using only normal activity would bring in. Remeber false claims, fake literature, bribes, payoffs and the list goes on an on. Top this with the multiple sales forces selling the same drugs to the same docs and you have a nightmare scenario that we are witnessing today.
Of course this is a simple explanation but has all the elements that made this once wonderful business into what it is today. Personally I am out (thanks god) and just hate to think what it will be in few years time. Some of us are trying to force some positive changes and we are in a process of exposing some of the nasty stuff this Co have done but never paid for it. That will change soon.

Novartis seems to promise a lot of $ if you are in the top 50% of the nation. They do not consider regions/territories that their drugs are not on formularies and that is what seems to drive business plus the reps. If you have goals of being a Specialty or Hospital rep go to another company. Novartis hires 100% first outside the company and then if you are lucky they will make you jump through hoops and get a position at the same middle of the road base salary as the field reps. I cant figure that one out because Novartis will first hire outside the company at hirer base salaries then look inside. I would recommend that someone getting into the field should look at other more fair companies.

Not true. I moved from MM after 2 years with the company and have been in CV specialty for 4 years now. My base salary has doubled since I started (and I started pretty well, I had experience). Also I'm in California with lousy formulary coverage (always have had for nearly all my products).

I would agree... Why does there seem to be an Oncology Position open in Sarasota FL.... I heard about DM problems there a while ago.. Any local reps got a clue?
 












Worst managed company I have ever worked for...managers (TOP) change every 9-12 months before they know their jobs...they call it a clusterF--K. Turn-over numbers should be looked at as well as training costs! They, like the others, believe in having more than one rep calling on a single doctor (share of voice)...Hey..Hire good reps, pay them for results and fire the rest...that's what will happen in the long run...run a business for god sake
