One incredible pharmaceutical company to work with due to great training, products, reputation, support and my success!

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful people to work with. Incredible products. Great training. Great support. Marketing team was "right on" in their messages, presentations and media selections. Greatly respected by physicians-great reputation and past products. Amazing product launches, training materials, one on one detailing critiques(video taped for you to watch and improve upon). The support from the sales team was unbelievable..they were available 24/7 to help.

Cons

They changed which products we were detailing and the % of importance/commissions every trimester. The only car in the fleet that was available to me to drive upon my hiring was a Pepto Bismol pink car. Not kidding and they made me drive it until the mileage reached it's limit for upgrade. About 2 1/2 years. I had the Houston Medical Center as a large portion of my territory and the stares and laughs I got were humiliating. Ha

Cons

- Development opportunities are very limited (not everywhere, but in some parts of the organisation - again people dependencies) - Poor planning of global changes - Organisation seems not to see people working in it but numbers that can be moved around - Inadequate compensation to job responsibilities and work done - Cheap on IT, demanding a lot not giving much back
