Why have oncology reps been leaving?

There are some good people here but our pay is horrid for oncology. I think most are just waiting for a better opportunity and then they too will be gone. Eisai has no interest in keeping reps here. The double down is a joke.

Eisai pays like crap - always has. That's just one of many reasons why they never attract stellar talent, especially at the top.
 




Personally, I don't know BM (hilarious initials). He's probably a great guy. But you know what? My next door neighbor is a great guy. He's funny, graduated from Yale, knows three foreign languages fluently, has a great family, is a black belt in karate, is a great golfer and even makes his own wine. Guess what? NONE OF THOSE THINGS MAKES HIM QUALIFIED TO BE THE HEAD OF ONCOLOGY!
The person in BM's role is part of the "brain" that helps to direct where the company goes, helps set goals and other initiatives that increase the sales forces' usefulness. It's a skill set quite specific to Oncology. He really is not in a position to help with that and it will take him several years to get up to "adequate" speed, perhaps ten years to be anything like the caliber of DT. BM doesn't even have previous experience as an RSD, or even DM, for an Oncology company. Honestly, any oncology sales rep with at least five years is more experienced than he is.
Folks, we're in trouble!
I have a feeling that the next five days could be ........"interesting".
 




















Eh last 3 to resign sucked anyway. But wow a lot of people bailing. Too bad, eisai has a good drug in Lenvima. Halaven was a failure. They want growth but no new data or studies to sway Drs. Bye bye eisai. You won't be missed.

Gee Thanks Asshole.

Pardon me for not taking the time or making the effort to navigate the Career Opportunities link from the main Site from this chicken shit outfit.

Since you have the link you are either still there or so desparate for a job that calling you a dork would be an insult to dorks worldwide.
