Constant "reorganization" from management with zero direction and zero leadership, constant shifting of priorities and goals, and massively inconsistent decisions. ENOUGH!
1099 position working for compounding company. This is the 2nd Specialty Phcy co I have worked for the 1st one had issues of paying the reps-this one gives u no support mat'l and u actually have to pay to print up your own RX pads to give to the offices-no reimbursement. Competition is fierce and 2 of the companies actually give their reps a small base-which is HUGE in my opinion
Too much micro magnt, too many small projects that are wasteful, too many district mtgs, too many conf calls, too many tests...plus need the 9 calls make your numbers and still not get a respectful merit raise-unless u r part of the good ole boy network. Haven't had a mgr in 14mnths...but we r working on it crap.
Micromananagemet, disdain for sales force, non-existent product lifecycle planning, busy-work/side job interference with work that actually drives revenue
Neuro- Legacy Allergan. The good old boys in management discriminate against females and age. There is no movement in upper management - directors have been the same in over a decade. The same people manage the same shitty way. The Neuro division is 98% white. If you have been in your position for more than 5 years, there is little chance you will be promoted. Benefits are so bad and they hold bonuses until the last min to pay you. Not a good place for long term employment.
The job itself is boring and provides no value! It's so boring! Managers are a pain in the neck and I honestly can't handle another damn field visit with my manager.
Downsizing is constant. Backstabbing culture. This is encouraged among fellow reps and of managers to their reps. Barely existent bosses or opposite, micro-managers who will wipe multiple reps out in a year to take the fall for their poor management decisions and virtually non-existent Managed care contracts. Hired too many reps to "fix" it just to answer to wall street and downsize by at least 1/4. Some with only three weeks of experience. The ones who know how to do the job get let go or leave of their own volition to be happier. Worse company ever at launching new drugs! Antiquated thought processes in today's environment. Metrics of A,B, and C targets is ridiculous for a biologic. CIA is killing ability to do anything helpful at fear of being fired. Absolutely miserable. Can't wait to get out!
