Pros

Leadership likes jokes so much they make your whole career one. They change your job role overnight even though it’s literally been your career of decades hence why you applied in the first place. My teammates try to keep everyone going but you can see even they have lost the faith in management and done. We all hate it here

Cons

I don’t know what these people think they are leading besides the top department for burn out and gaslighting. My career obviously doesn’t matter to you. You changed my job I’ve worked hard to become specialist in for decades and now I have to look for work elsewhere. I’ve made you millions of dollars and you won’t even give me a raise when you combine my job with an entirely different other job. Doesn’t even occur to you. Never have I seen a company make employs do medical necessity appeals AND payer contract appeals. These are 2 entirely different specialties. And they didn’t even give a raise. They just manipulste you into thinking this is normal. You can’t grow here

Pros

Nice people, PTO, good healthcare

Cons

Management knows who their poor performing employees are and yet, they move them into more relaxed roles and promote them to “seniors.” They don’t even try to confront them or put them on PIPs. They make everyone else clean up after them And that lucky person ends up working OT because they are basically doing multiple people’s jobs. Management has no idea what the roles involve to the point where some people barely have any work and others are drowning in it. Even though they are the same position. Management always says they are there to listen and make your life easier, but I don’t know a single issue they’ve actually fixed. I know multiple people are looking for new jobs, because they just want to be noticed and compensated for the knowledge they are expected to have. The department is a mess right now and everyone is complaining so happy to be working from home. And can you pay people enough to actually live in the area they work? The average commute is 45 mins. I’d love to work AND live on the sea coast.

Glorified Pharma Sales

Pros

High base. Offers a product for patients that truly can help. Cost is usually not an issue for patients. Please do your research before joining. Ask about your ability as a TM to make independent decisions, to choose how to grow the business as you see fit, and the current KOL mentality towards the device in prospective territory.

Cons

Internal: Can be summed up in one sentence recently said by my manager, "You're mine from 8-5." You will be told the Territory Manager job is a "manager" level job by upper management. It's not. This is the most micromanaged sales role I have ever been in and all the managers (Regional Business Leads) have no prior experience in this type of leadership role. The sales goals are unrealistic and you will be relentlessly hounded by your manager and above to achieve them: in person, by phone, by text, and by email. It's all about the "scrip" (Rx) here. (I never want to hear the word "scrip" again, ever.) I am not comfortable with management's rules on who can be certified to use the device. All the leadership is from pharma and worked together previously. Groupthink prevails. Very little time off offered at this company and you will still receive emails and texts that you are expected to work on when you do take time off. External: Very little to no buy-in of the product by KOLs. Makes it very difficult to grow the business when key centers block therapy. Clinical trials are truly competition for the product.
