    I spoke with a recruiter today about the position. They have started going through the applications and screening for phone interviews. The managers have not been hired yet. They are going through that process right now. The interviews for the sales representatives is scheduled for Dec 2nd with a start date of Jan 6th. I hope this helps! Good Luck

    I hope you don't mind me asking. Can you tell me what you put for your base salary and bonus for your current job? Also can you tell me what you put for expected base salary and bonus? The reason that I asked is because I think I may be to high. I put 40,000-49,000 for base and 20,000 bonus. Thanks

    You are fine. They aren't going to start you less than $45,000-$50,000

    Not the OP, but I was given the impression (they weren't allowed to disclose the actual scale) that total comp could range from 50,000-60,000

    Please understand that for every open spot there will be multiple hundreds of applicants. Being here for 8 years, I can tell you that often-times political affiliations (aka "hook ups) seem to be a higher priority to skill set.

    Applicants who are going through a recruiter are being interviewed first, internal referrals will be interviewed first or second week of December.

    I looked up your salary grade and it will be in the 40's. Bonus will be lighter than ours too. Expectation on our end is that you will be a feeder for positions at the DCS level as inevitable promotions, transfers, resignations occur. I wish I could have had an opportunity to get into pharma 20 years ago. It took me 8 years of slogging through shit sales jobs to get into pharma.

    Good luck, doesn't need to be said again, but this is a great company.

    How long does it typically take to be promoted to the DCS level?

    I had my phone interview yesterday and it wen't well. I believe I have the qualifications they're looking for.

    B.S. Kinesiology
    6 years military experience
    2 years outside BTB experience
    long history of sports and weight lifting experience

    I don't know how well I did on the online test, though. I don't think I answered enough questions within the 5 minutes.
