Daily life is that of regular pharm. rep.. (you can have good/bad: counterparts, products and DMs) depends on what client company wants..

If you're a former rep you know the drill..

Downside: this is contract..contracts ALWAYS end, sometimes on short notice...this is not a long term career solution.

For me, it's not so much about inVentiv... I felt pretty good about inVentiv, but it's all about the client company and your specific manager.

I have been on 3 contracts with inVentiv now. Two of which I reported to a client manager (field rides, etc.) and worked closely with "direct" reps. The other contract was a totally separate inVentiv team, inVentiv manager, etc. But all three were good and I never felt micro-managed. No one cared about signatures and it was really all about the sales results. With that said, you need to play the game a little bit. But if you're simply doing your job, you shouldn't have to worry much about all the other "stuff".

As far as any other differences in the job itself... I did the same job as I always did working for big pharma and worked just as hard. I probably felt the same pressure too. Unfortunately the pay is lower, less vacation, fewer perks and, yes, it could end at any time with no severance for cushion.

Pharma is all contract.....only as good as the product you support. Could be around 6 months or 3 years.

It was 9-5 at Amarin for signatures, we needed signatures even if we didn't leave samples too. Min of 9/ day. It was a Quintiles contract. It was terrible

Endo has the same requirement for signatures. First by 8:30 and last must be between 4:30 and 5:30 pm.

It all depends on what contract you work on and who the RBD is. The Allergan Botox contract is great. The current Prestium contract requires 16 signatures a day.. yes, 16... Other contracts mandate 8am-6pm sales calls / veeva entries. Clearly this company does not have as many contracts as it used to. They are fighting for business. With that being said, they are selling slave labor to secure their contracts.. Many of the contracts are metric based so the RBDs can look like super stars having a sales team under them that punches in 20 calls a day.. Some gigs are great here and do lead to roll over. Some are not.. Buyer beware - make sure you know what you are getting into..
