Worst Amgen DM ever?

Why wouldn’t the manager simply hire the contract reps over to the amgen roles? They’re already trained and the transition would be easy.

Some people inside Amgen hold really low opinions of the contract sales force. They feel superior simply based on the fact that they are Amgen employees and the managers hold it over the contract reps’ heads as if they don’t already do the same job as the base reps. Illogical but what do you expect from people who came from in-house positions with less sales experience than the reps they manage
 












DO in AZ was the worst. Who really wanted to go to her lame A$$ parties? Had to go or get targeted. We really don’t give a sh** about your over priced east valley ghetto house. Make Arizona Great Again and go back to CO.

Inventiv reps are simply not as talented or they would not be in a contract position. Who would get paid less unless they had to?

Really —don’t put yourself on any type of throne...you are No better than MANY OF THE Syneos reps...

With so many companies laying off, people will apply for and accept opportunities that present. Maybe there were no direct hire positions in their area and the individuals took a leap with a possibility to roll into a FTE of Amgen.

In my district there is ZERO difference between the level of knowledge, performance or respect of an Amgen or a Syneos rep. We are all replaceable and being a dir car hire for Amgen does not make you better or more knowledgeable of the products.

Many of us have come over and been lucky enough to convert to an Amgen employee; many have been waiting for the opportunity. I can tell you in my training class some of the best, most prepared reps were the contract reps . That being said many are leaving because a rollover has not been available in their area. Amgen has trained reps to have injectable and buy and bill experience that other companies welcome and will often pay them more than direct hire Amgen reps. I know 4 in the last 18 months who have done just that.

I have worked beside both catagories and some of the Amgen reps are lazy and think they are too good to work with contract reps. This is a disconnect and it creates a sad environment. When I first started on the contract, I was told my by Amgen counterpart that he would make all territory decisions because he worked for Amgen. Funny thing..he was fired for ethical misconduct and I am stil here.

We don’t need 2 companies, just make it 100% Amgen jobs. Some contract reps are deserving of Amgen jobs and should be payed the same.

Absolutely!! I agreed 100%. There have been rumors for awhile and a contracting company was not part of the business model but someone was convinced a few years back it was a way to launch Repatha..Amgen needs to go back being Amgen ...and rollover anyone that is a great rep and deserving of an opportunity to continue with Amgen.

She was definitely a piece of work; her reps had some much extra s**t work to do it was amazing.. she was always trying to push her ideas into the region. I know she is not missed by her team...some knew how to manager around her and keep her happy but none of them cared for her style. They were always on edge when she was around as her moodnwould shift in a second.

Field ride days were horrible from what we heard...many offices would tell the reps to not bring her back in and she dressed like a hooker on top of her other behaviors.

CO rep here. She is not welcome back here. No director in their right mind would ever hire her again in CO. She is a HR nightmare. Sorry she is ruining AZ. The directors there will figure it out and she will have to pollute another state.
 






JS in INBU is by far the worst RSD. Managers and reps hate him, and he treats interviewees like crap. Huge turnover in his region because he isn’t happy unless everyone is so stressed out that they can’t function. When he got this promotion from Neph after Blue Ridge region was created, all the managers were hoping anyone but him got the job because he has a long reputation of being completely ineffective at anything other than intimidation. True psychopath who keeps the chaos stirred so no one is around long enough to report him for all the BS he pulls.

So I guess she burns bridges everywhere she goes! I wonder how she last so long with Az as a manger ..like 6/7 years .

I am sure she will burn bridges wherever she landed this time as well .

She has been in AZ for less than 2 years and has already made enemies with the majority of us. Does anyone know where she went so we can warn the reps what a micromanager and POS she is?
