Top RX reviews about "training"

Hours not so great, and sadly if your not a persistent and focused individual this business is not for you.

Terrible training that mostly consisted of teaching us how to use the outdated CRM. Very little help from management. Very VERY hard to get new accounts as a new sales agent, the vets that have been working there get all the good accounts and use the newbies to fish through leads.

This review comes after years of service as a sales rep... Opinions are not valued or in most cases, listened to. Sales training is terrible. It merely consists of teaching how to use the CRM and sales programs; which by the way crashes constantly along with the phones. Most IT issues are handled by outside vendors, so when sales tools fail, it's long before they are up and running again. Management offers no real training, advice, or even self experience in the industry or the position in which they oversee. Pay is terrible. Commission is hard to come by. There is so much competition in the market that new accounts are hard to come by. When you do get them, you're competing against companies who have the EXACT SAME PRODUCT. The only sales edge you may have over the competition is PRICE. If your price does not beat what they can get elsewhere, they will not buy it. As a sales professional, you should know that price is no way to sell a commodity. Again, this is a job, not a career. It would have been a career if you entered the industry nearly 10 years ago or more.

You must make 100 calls per day. No exceptions. Once you build your book of business, there is little time to build relationsips with your customers. Its a numbers game. Great if you arent a people person, but definitely a con if you are a relationship driven sales rep.

Needs new carpet and to be cleaned

Communication can be better at times

Management. Everyone hated them. Certain amount of breaks you can take. Meet quota for cold calling. Not a Pharmaceutical rep like job description, more like customer service. Lied by telling us they were tapping into a new west coast market, when in fact they were giving that market another try. Found that out through one of the pharmacies willing to tell me about former employees calling there. Dead end job. Quick hustle. Only long term employees are people "grandfathered" in. Just simply couldn't beat bigger companies(Competitors) prices on average, which made selling impossible.

There is alot to learn about the industry which can sometimes feel overwhelming
