    The only interviewing that should be going on is interviewing to leave this place. Who is hiring?

    To the new people coming in: Checking into Arbor is like being checked into prison. You will have a tracker. Your manager will be the prison guard. They will monitor where you are at all times. You will have less than ideal medical care due to the terrible insurance. If you get caught drinking, they might throw you in the hole (like the person that got fired at the last NSM). They would rather punish someone than help them. You may have a case of your innocence, but are still found guilty (of proof that your docs are writing but mysteriously does not show up on your IC). Your pay will be lower than industry standards, like people in prison don't make minimum wage if they do have a job. The list goes on.

    ^this person is clearly a disgruntled employee, but is telling the truth. If you need a check to put food on the table, take it. If you’re thinking about coming here from a solid B2B job, STAY! Soon a real company will take a chance on you. There is a terrible culture in this organization and they are working towards selling, not an IPO. Before you take the job, ask how many open neuro and peds territories are open across the country. 90% of sales force is looking to leave(many already have).

    If you want to march aimlessly to orders, not be allowed to ask why or have and rational explanation for your metrics, and make 60k a year, go join the military. At least you will be respected when you are looking for your next job. (Recruiters laugh at Arbor resumes if this is your only pharma experience) RED FLAG is this place usually only hires NON pharma experience, everyone who has experience gets in, sees the “Arbor culture” ( say yes to orders given by good ole boys club that think it’s still 2002) and runs for the hills.


    This place is miserable. Proof, we are writing this on Saturday morning trying to help people from making the same mistakes we did.

    Do not take a job with Arbor. I am being very sincere about how this company is not a good choice and you will regret it. Very low pay with your TRx goals changing monthly and I/C unattainable especially if you have poor formulary coverage for your meds-you cannot meet/exceed sales goals. It's unbelievable how much you are micromanaged! its so extensive that your iPad uses MOTUS to track everything to the point that a report is reviewed by your DM and you need to explain your all of your activities in detail so it is not trusting you at all and will get you fired if you cant answer who, what, why, when and how. You have no voice here and your DM rides with you every month for 2-3 days to review data that doesn't show Medicare Rxs just commercial data which isn't a full account of sales obtained (you don't get paid for govt). The pre-call and post call planning during a painful fake "oh you are so wise great and mighty DM" who has less sales experience and education than most of their reps with all day interactions starting with a ridiculous breakfast meeting then a client lunch everyday that the clinics hate having with your DM judging them and making the interactions so awkward then finish day after 5pm because you must be out in the field from 8AM through 5PM don't even dare being at home to complete administrative work as it is a death sentence but go sit at Starbucks all day that's fine?! The managers are clueless and will not help you or have your back-they are out for themselves and will screw you the first chance they get. Arbor only focuses on your sales #, ranking and nothing else so don't waste time explaining your specific roadblocks as they don't care about your legitimate reasoning -"its an excuse". Don't believe anything they may tell you as they have no interest in you having a rewarding career as a work/life balance does not exist and you will go crazy because it is all unnecessary stress with intimidation tactics, unachievable sales goals and unsupportive coworkers - worst pharma company ever!!!

    This is the most true and honest thing I have seen on Cafepharma. I know some ppl on my team and jumped and they're not even ranked and make a base as much as what they made a year at Arbor.

    Look, yes they track the shit out of you with the iPad tracker. Yes the micromanage. But if you have cool manager which majority are - stay away from the FL manager- then you'll be good.

    Edarbi is a very good drug- coverage sucks but the key to it is understanding the insurance aspect of what to do to get it cover. They don't train you this in IST- But the first 2-3 weeks, make friends with the office staffs at your docs office, investigate what insurance they see most, dive deep into the insurance companies formulary handbook and speak intelligently on the products coverage and ways to qualify the pt. They way they teach you at training with the whole Formular app sucks balls- a lot of local insurance are not on there and the details are not there. You need to learn insurance in this industry to guide your office how to "qualify patients" --

    True, true, true.... Tracked and micromanaged to the Nth degree. Why do they treat us so poorly? It is unbelievable the abuse that we take from our managers. Constant nagging & trying to throw their weight around like they are somebody. We put up with a lot of crap here at Arbor and it is no wonder the culture is awful. STOP TRACKING US! If you stopped tracking us maybe we would want to work harder. Cracking that whip just makes us resent you.

    In case you haven't noticed, Arbor isn't hiring anyone right now - no job postings. I don't think you have to worry about anyone interviewing.

    No hiring end of q4, cutting costs at every corner, and they expect people to keep buying into them going public?
    They are going to sell majority to Chinese, whom will gut the company because all Arbor truly is, is a marketing sales force. Absolutely embarrassing R&D with no true pipeline. 2019 will be interesting

    Whatever is going on with Arbor right now is not good for the salesforce. I thought the Chinese walked away. It would be more likely that Arbor would sell to a company that has a salesforce that just needs more products to sell. That would eliminate us. The company that buys them would probably keep a few money makers & sell the rest of the products off. They may be cutting costs to make themselves more attractive to buyers or they may be cutting costs just to line their own pockets with money. Time will show us the truth.
