    The opposite is true and the calls are recorded so feel free to listen for yourself. Wall Street has no faith that you can sell anything in the middle of a national epidemic.

    Agreed!! Not needed and everyone can see it except top management here. They should have never been hired. Ask the tbm's. We do not sell oncology products. Do the right thing and keep a quarter of them cut the rest and let's move on with getting this company back on track.

    What’s the pay scale for frm? Do they get a bonus? If so, based on what parameters?? Hopefully, the rumor isn’t true that they are pulling in manager level salaries. Given what they do all day or NOT, it would be an easy way to cut some excess fat from the JR hiring nightmare.

    They all make over 180K base PLUS Target bonus of 55K PLUS RSU stock at 2500 a year!!!!

    They are associate directors. They make manager money and manager stock awards. I think if they paid them like TBM’’s they would have been received better by the field. They do not do work that requires a bigger or better skill set than a TBM. TBM’s used to do/still do the duties they perform.

    The idea behind adding them as I understand it was to take the access and fulfillment workload off TBM’s at their accounts. If that’s associate director level work then TBM’s need to have associate director comp plans as well.

    This whole massive expansion, in all its forms, was JR's vision after MS left. He was not a believer.

    GTF out of here...180k? No way they have that high of a base. If that’s true what are KAM’s and HBM’s making? 180k for a FRM is obscene, can’t be true and if so cut bait.

    The FRMs make more that KAMs and KAMs make more that Hospital reps. FRMs make 180 K base on average.
    KAMs make 160k vase on average
    Hospital Reps make 140K base on average. Plus they all make bonus plus stock RSUs. All total Comp well over 200k

    ALL OVERPAID.and should make same as TBMS. NONE of these positions are needed or bring value/increased sales to our company.

    Exactly what is FRM’s bonus structure based on? Sales of what? Who’s territory? This is utter bullshit. A higher bonus structure than the TBM’s and they’re not doing squat! Now I’m pissed.

    I spoke with my FRM. I had a list of questions. Mainly about coverage on certain commercial plans a few Medicare plans. A few questions about Aristada care support and the new copay card.
    This person knew nothing. Not one question was answered. How is this even possible that they have a job and know nothing. Very sad.

    I’ve had the same exact experience as above and it was more frustrating and laborious to work with the FRM VS doing it on my own which was more efficient and quicker. I call BS on this position and ridiculous pay.

    I believe the above post regarding base and bonus and RSU's is dead on true. I have to disagree that KAM's, FRM's and Hospital business managers should make the same as TBM's. Well, I have to say that I don't think we need any FRM's or Hospital business managers and we need probably half of the KAM's that we currently have. But, if we can't get rid of them all, I think they should all make a bit more than TBM's. They should all be paid what Hospital reps are getting. The big thing that makes no sense to me is why do we have any FRM's and Hospital people? I guess the main part of hospital reps bonus is based on getting HIFT programs in hospitals. Most of these target hospitals don't use much if any injectible antipsychotics and have little to no addiction treatment. How did they come up with the hospital targets???!! I hope there aren't hospital reps getting paid $50,000 for getting 2 hospitals that don't use any LAI's at all to sign up for HIFT. Worse yet if they are getting paid big bonuses because they got 2 hospital to sign up for HIFT and showed this quarter they ordered 4 ARi vials and last quarter they only ordered 2 vials so they get a Target+ because they increased by 100%. I know this is happening. The hospital team will be found out soon enough. Just wait. FRM's are not needed. I totally agree.

    Could someone please explain to the sales force ‘exactly’ what they do? My fulfillment has actually gone down since I started relying on an FRM. I don’t think they follow up or through like the TBMs did/do, at least not mine.

    This year is the first year with FRMs and it s the worst year we’ve had in growth and goal attainment for 5 years? Coincidence??? I don’t think so. FRMs are NOT helping. Look at the #s. The majority of the company is under goal and in red.

    The writing is on the wall. I heard that the FRM in Florida was smart and just jumped ship before her position was eliminated. They are all going to go away and it can’t be soon enough!!
